Magnificent. Goal of the tournament so far.

Nat atall. Honda or RvP still better than that. Great goal nontheless.

Great goal by Messy, Hopefully that's the start of it from Messy.

Just about to comment on his shocking free kick and he then pulls that out of the bag.

I was just about to say that he needed to let go of the ball sooner! Then he comes out with that.

For 64 minutes nothing, a dormant volcano whose great fire had burnt out. And then, an explosion of Messi proportions. Only Messi can do that, the world's greatest footballer has lit up the World Cup with an eruption of pace and frightening skill and precision.

Is it really his first WC goal since 2006¿

The one and only Stephen Alkin.

Any chance it'll be taken off him?

It was just about on target with the deflection. Was probably going wide otherwise.

Washington Irving

Will paint over his poor performance up to now. Nice goal though

Bedtime so.. night all

Good idea, sure teams never come from behind do they?

Higuain has changed the game.

Did he mean the deflection? It could easily be marked as an OG :rolleyes:

Great stuff by Di Maria.

Eh...his performance is measured by goals and he's just scored.

Too Tough To Die

Textbook Messi goal, even had defenders falling over each other for dramatic effect.

Shockingly, writing a player who scored over 40 goals this season off just because he hadn't scored after 45 minutes playing in a completely disjointed system, seems to have backfired on Neil Lennon et al.

:pac:

Wouldn't have gone in only for the little touch by the defender. Technically an own goal, but never going to be given as one of course.

Da Shins Kelly

I feel sorry for the Bosnians. They just don't seem to be able to finish off goal chances though.

BOHSBOHS

messi moves clear of gary breen in the world cup goals charts

You really are a parody of yourself at this stage.

Robben has already outperformed him against your golden boys with eruptions of frightening pace and precision in case you forgot.

Nothing from you either, shame you had to ruin it.

Corholio

Did anyone mention the deflection? :pac:

Gbear

I'm convinced that someone has kidnapped DiMaria's family and will kill them if he uses his right foot.

keith16

Alkin coming out with some off the wall stuff on RTE....saying Argentina will be dancing in the streets of Rio tonight and throwing stones at the ITV studios

Talib Fiasco

Di Maria's style of dribbling is really unique and looks actually awkward at times but it's bloody mesmerising and unreal to watch.

Lightbulb Sun

OG? Ha, good one.

I do wonder how someone can be so blaise and negative when you've just witnessed genius in real time, the kind of genius that previous generations witnessed with Pele and Maradona and talk about for years, you've literally just seen the defining player of our generation in full flight, at his devastating best.

Lukker-

For Messi's goal, the No3 who the other Bosnia tripped over tried a stupid reverse back leg tackle. Most pointless thing ever, sort your feet out and put in a real challenge.

With the amount of money at stake for top goalscorer I'm sure it'll be looked into.

Bbc text commentary:

The crowd have woken up, I hope you have too. Brilliant goal and Lionel Messi now has more World Cup goals than Gary Breen and Matthew Upson.

And none last WC with Maradona over them the whole thing was disjointed, Sick of all the pundits already.

Da Shins Kelly

Still think Argentina are a very beatable team though.

English pundits seem to have some bias towards Argentina...dunno why.

Messi is brilliant and it was a good goal. That's not what we are negative about. We are negative about you and your over the top posting style. There is a difference.

I love watching Messi.

Nonsense. I know more money has obviously been lumped on Messi but there was no debating Robben's first goal the other night after Ramos' deflection and there won't be for Messi's either.

Stephen Alkin, ****ing hell:

I'm well aware of what I'm looking at but you seem to be trying to make full use of a thesaurus you got for christmas

fuzzydunlop85

Bosnia have thrown in the towel.

Can people stop quoting it?

Lawro is commentating on Argentina in the Maracana and he still has the gall to moan and groan at every little thing.

The post I quoted, Dempseys, didn't mention me, only looked to find negatives in a truly magical moment, which is why I responded to that post. Frankly, I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me thus I feel no reason to reply to those posts.

Just stick him on ignore then

I'm sick of these constant thread derailments over AIGs posting style. It's not going to change so if you don't like it, ignore it.

Get over yourself.

Just don't read the damn thing.

Aguero has been poor tonight. Hasnt linked up with fellow players well.

Corholio

Argentina have been better in the second half but they have been hardly been brilliant either. A better team up front will punish them no doubt. Their midfield have struggled a bit too, even with the changes, Bosnia have still bypassed them on a few occasions.
