Only Pele and Maradona are in Messi's class now. He's so far and away the best I've ever seen, it's ridiculous. His free kick right before the goal that was saved was even better than the one he scored on. Ridiculous.
He and Neymar are single-handedly winning World Cup matches. That's crazy. I hope they meet in the final.
3 - 2
this game is exciting
Wait...what?

Bosnia-Herzegovina scores again. 2-0 over Iran
Suarez was quoted after the game as saying only "these things happen on the pitch"............. Unmm no they don't. They happen cause you're a piece of shit. I played for ten years and never bit a soulQuote:

The problem is that Argentina's defense has a propensity to "fall asleep." Happened twice and there are your two Nigeria goalsQuote:

Iran scores, Bosnia gets it right back. 3-1 Bosnia. Looks like Nigeria is all but through
