Argentina to win it by 2 goals.

 

[barcanuck]

Never know with the Blatter backed Swiss but if Argies don't win it's a travesty.

 

[King Leo]

Argentina will win it and Messi will score another goal. Not an easy one for Argentina though.

 

[jamrock]

if argetina start gago they will lose

 

[Egert]

Sabella trusts Gago

 

[FCBarca]

Will be tougher than you might expect but will depend on which Suisse side shows up, Leo remains the ultimate difference maker...3-1 Argentina

 

[Chainsaw]

Argentina will never make any match easy for Argentina.

 

[linetty]

Easy for Argentina to be honest... Messi with a hattrick once again.

 

[zanela]

A last 16 match, and all we get in the OP is the squad list. Only Josh.

Argentina will never make any match easy for Argentina.

Quote of the tournament.

 

[FC B]

Messi to score decisive goal(s) and get the MOTM trophy

 

[dakt]

If Di Maria will have a good day, with Messi...their defense will look like swiss cheese. But I really want for Di Maria to score.

FYI, no such thing as Swiss cheese - there's Emmental which is widely publicized as the Suisse cheese but it is one of hundreds and not even the most popular (Gruyère)
