    No, he just thinks reading stuff out beforehand is stupid....and he's right

    This will open it up now and force Belgium to play.

    Van Buyten ducked out of the way, he could have got a block on it.

    Higuain playing well and with some confidence will give Argentina a totally new dimension. Ominous for the two teams they will potentially face in the remainder of the tournament.

    Kerr is a tremendous commentator, easy to listen to and talks a lot of sense.

    The general quality of free kicks and corners in this world cup has been absolutely shocking..

    Belgium look like having more success attacking from the left. Belgium look weak at right back.

    Good goal from Higuain, maybe there's still hope for my bet for him to be top scorer?

    Ok maybe not...

    Belgium massively over rated. Good team on paper, a good FIFA team.

    Kompany, Hazard and Courtois are the only genuine very good players.

    Fellaini and Witsel in midfield? Probably the worst midfield left. Mirallas/De Bruyne...decent, nothing more. Verthongen has had a shocking season and isn't a LB.

    Lukaku has potential but his game is far from finished.

    A 36 year old has been in central defence too.

    Wonder will Hazard get a pass for his largely underwhelming performances in this World Cup if the Argentina see this out. Not seen much criticism for him.

    Hard to explain as the "ui" pronunciation has no english equivalent.

    But it's more like the "ou" in out.

    Same for Kevin De Bruyne is more like "Brown" not "Broyne" or "Breen.

    This girl might help.

    It seems like Alkin and Kerr are having a competition of who can pronounced people's names in as many different ways possible.

    Good balance to this game. Belgium look a lot better in position but Argentina far more dangerous up front.
