wow.

Going to be a long night for my heart at this rate.

Jesus.  Now I understand why we had the bible thumping at the start.

[vancanman]

Crépeau saving us from our own corner,

Big save by Crepeau 

I don't think St. Clair saves that.

[Hawkguy]

Kone just awful. 

Great work by Crepeau. Absolute game changer. 

[kacbru]

Seems like a decade ago, but a good corner by Davies.

[Hawkguy]

Larin had an incredible chance to play us in and he poorly gave it away.

Worst is it leads to a chance for Messi (offside though) where he just missed.

[dyslexic nam]

Fuck me - this is going to be a long 90 minutes.  

[Hawkguy]

Kone needs to wake up a bit. Really easy through ball to Millar, but Kone played it awfully giving Liam no chance.

[gwsmith63]

Knife. Butter. 
 

Too easy right now for the Argies. 

[scullion44]

Our passing is so poor

[bwilly11]

Fucking hell Argentina is fast. 

[Free kick]

Seems that they figured out that we will play a high press and they decided to hit us with direct play , long balls or counters.   Our d men will really have to be on their toes.  They will be in one on ones a lot

I can hear the Canada chants on the telecast. Well done V's!

[Hawkguy]

Insanely risky pass from Kone to Crepeau, but his touch was magnificent.

[bwilly11]

Park the bus. Immediately 

[74 Whitecap]

Frustrating because we've had chances to play the ball through, but our passes haven't been good enough

[Hawkguy]

I'm pretty much done with Kone right now. He's been horrendous. Giving the ball away constantly. 

He needs to get his head in the game because he's so important to us.

[Joe MacCarthy]

Too many f'n giveaways!

[bwilly11]

They don't miss a pass. Holy shit

Romero a clown.

[nolando]

Millar doing exactly what we need. So far mostly so good from all 11.

And he's got about 17 giveaways lol

Davies is playing pretty loose at the back.
