Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
Argentina is looking too good, but above all the team chemistry is the reason I think they will win this. Will be very entertaining though as a rematch of four years ago.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
Argentina's goal-scoring ability + shaky Mexican keeper = 3+ goals.

**** your asterisk.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
This is going to be a great game, I hope it's at least half of what it was in 2006. Man that was one of the best matches of the decade.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
I expect a lot of cards and a few injuries.
Argentina should prevail as Mexico really hasn't shown me that much.

mexicos D has looked shaky, and Argentina will carve it up. And, Mexico's short keeper wont be able to deal with all those high & wide shots Messi will pepper him with.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
The 2006 WC matchup between Mexico and Argentina was one of the best I ever seen. The game was intense and exciting from the start to finish.
Mexico will have the rematch against Argentina on Sunday. I will expect a great game from both sides. If this comes close to the 2006 matchup, this is going to be awesome.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
That Maxi Rodriguez goal has to go down as one of the best goals in history. Not just in terms of skill, but importance and timing of the goal

Let's hope it's anything like last year. Still I see a 2-1 Argentina victory.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
Mexico get sweet revenge this year. As a Mexico fan, that goal still stings and the only thing that can cure it is this game. Mexico needs to win.

My god I had forgotten how amazing WC games sound without vuvuzelas.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
Man, no offense to anyone who thinks otherwise, but this is one of my least favourite World Cups in recent history. The officiating, the lack of goals, the crowd (i.e. vuvuzelas drowning out voices and drums), excessive diving, etc... . Personally, it's one World Cup that I can't wait to forget.
I'm saying this after watching that Mexico-Argentina Youtube clip. It was relief hearing actual people instead of the hornets nests they are blowing in right now.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
I want another one from Maxi Rodriguez. Argentina will win this, Mexico shouldn't be able to compete with them.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
One thing that has made this WC less exciting has been the lack of FK goals...we haven't had one due to the jumanji ball.
I expect Argentina to win this convincingly, exploiting Mexico's backline issues (Rafa tends to make runs up top, leaving the striker one on one with a fullback). 2-0 sounds about right. I then expect them to go on to winning the world cup.

Re: Round of 16 Discussion: Argentina vs. Mexico
Argentina's the team im rooting for this year, and with there ability to score goals and play together, I believe this easily win this game by a margin of at least 2 goals.

Jumanji

But although I agree with the fact that Mexico have their defensive liabilities, Argentina also have the same issues, and with Mexico's quite dynamic attack I won't be surprised if this ends up a thriller.
