TEAM NEWS

Argentina playmaker Juan Veron is available after recovering from a calf problem, while defender Walter Samuel may not be risked despite overcoming a thigh strain.

Newcastle's Jonas Gutierrez is suspended so Nicolas Otamendi could deputise at right-back. Back-up strikers Diego Milito and Sergio Aguero may also feature.

Greece are likely to stick with the side that beat Nigeria in their last game, with Dimitrios Salpingidis partnering Theofanis Gekas up front.

One booking from suspension: Papastathopoulos, Samaras, Torosidis, Tziolis (Greece); Mascherano, Heinze (Argentina)

Nigeria go one up.

Samaras is so fucking shit........nice hair though.

[french_tony]

Its like a lions mane...
McCarthy's fucking loving him too, bet he's at Wolves next year.

Although its negative Greece have so far found a way to keep messi quiet. Although whether they can keep it up for 90 minutes we'll see.
Would love to see De Jong given the role of following him around and kicking him all match.

How the fuck can that fat little toad justify leaving Zanetti & Cambiasso at home? Argentina's chances of winning the World Cup would be about 30% better with those 2 imo. It's scandalous.

The tradge has made a couple of almost decent moves tonight but was doing a lot of 'you're all shit & I'm dead good' exasperated arm waving in Greece's last game, plus running into stupid fucking positions & waving/shouting for the ball, then complaining when they had the good sense to ignore him. Made me want to fly over there & twat him.

[Slim]

You fucking chocolate teapot.

[Ted Hughes]

Wonderful moment when the tradge took that ball onto his left foot like Dennis Bergkamp & blammed it hopelessly wide.

[Ted Hughes]

.......aaand again.

Greek space program enters launch phase as Samaras takes another shot.

[french_tony]

Hes a funny one is George. Does some fucking good stuff and follows it up with complete dogshit. Should have scored earlier and what was that shot all about?!

[Slim]

Such is the curse of the uncut diamond.

[Sister of fu]

I'm going to loose £300 fake pounds if these Argies don't pull their finger out.

[Ted Hughes]

You could swap Samaras & Jo & everything that happened in the game would be identical.

[Crossie]

Samaras seems ot think he can play or shoot the ball through people. No George, human beings are solid form, you have to go ROUND them, not kick the ball through them, u Jesus tw*t

[Twobob]

The pitch has been kept really well I think - great contrast of greens with the two tone cut ...

[Sister of fu]

Get in!!
