Argentina have looked so bad that France must fancy their chances even though they haven't even got out of first gear in these finals.

Argentina is a mess. I feel massive embarrassment is coming. Messi may score a consolation goal but going with France 4-1 in this one.

France has looked woeful this tournament and Argentina somehow have looked worse.

Feel bad for Messi and would love to see Argentina thump the French but I’m thinking 2-1 France

France should win pretty easily. It's too bad we have to get this matchup so early though. As bad as Argentina has been, they still have Messi.

that win vs Nigeria did something to Argentina... that win and how they won gave them a confidence booster I can see Argentina somehow pulling this off crazy as that sounds... But France hasnt clicked yet and they made it to the round of 16 and what happens when they start to turn up..... it can get real quiet for Argentina as well... I say 1-0 Argentina with a Goal by Messi or somebody in the last minutes of the game!

If Messi will be just standing outside the penalty box with no interest in game, than France will will. It is all about Messi and his will to play football.

1-1. Going to penalties. And then anything can happen.
