Argentina vs. Scotland

pumas fan 2

Hi there. In an hour and a half -more or less- is going to start what, perhaps, is the most important match of Argentina's rugby history.

I´ll like to read some comments, if someones wishes. Thank you all.

Argies for the win, but as a Bok fan I'd prefer to play Scotland in the Semis.

Should be a cracker.

Well I've just put down €16.31c (my online account emptied out!) on Argentina at 1/3. If thats not confidence in the Pumas I don't know what is!

Argies to win, by 11-20 points and score 1 or two huge long fought out pushover tries.

Scotland to defend well in the first half, fading nearer the end of the 2nd.

martu

Yes, but 30+ difference.
Go Pumas!

Vamos Pumas vamos, ponga huevo que ganamos!!!!!

You bet every last cent in your account?
Impressive :cool:

18pt win for Argentina, 40-22 or thereabouts.

Easy_81

20-30 pt win for the Pumas tonight. They have been playing out of their skins in recent weeks. Can see it continuing tonight!!

is_that_so

Argentina to win +10.
Just think of the spin EOS could get out of this: "beaten by two semi-finalists (or better) so it's no surprise we went out.":rolleyes:

Scotland to win, Patterson & Parks are untouchable with the place kicks at the moment, depends if the ref cracks down on the Puma infringements at the ruck.

Hi. I woldn´t be so confident. Scots are hard to beat. Of course I wish our Pumas to win but I¨ll be very glad with any result.

Nope, thats not what I'm saying, All teams try to gain an advantage at the breakdown, Puma's are specialists at slowing the ball down, if the ref penalises them, and with kickers like Patterson that can be costly.

Scotland to win with a drop goal from Patterson in the last minute! Hopefully they'll win.I've always liked Scotland for some reason and I really don't want to see Contepomi on the winning side after his goading against Ireland.

Dont no but Ireland probably hold it.:)

This is a disappointing game compared to the other 1/4 finals. No atmosphere in the stadium at all. You'd swear the place was empty.

13-6 HT

Guy:Incognito

HEHEH How come its always the samll people (no offence to any small-fry's readin) that are giving it large and fighting. The little Argie guy looking to fight everyone on the way off.:)

The other quarter finals took a while to get going, so might be a better second half. Scotland making a few too many mistakes

mikeruurds

Scotland looking aimless.

Guy:Incognito

Scotland are not gettin gback into this.

Guy:Incognito

Just as I say it they go on a great counter, super bit of play. Still going to be a struggle though.


If Argentina get a quick score of some sort I can see th eScots heads dropping.

zAbbo

About time they started playing whats in front of them !

ROCKMAN

Game just came to life
SCOTLAND TRY

mikeruurds

Finally some action from the Scots.

Edit: And we have a game Arg 19: Scot 13

conversion in off the post when needed
did this not happen to the french last night

hmmm

Ghost Train

scotland really need this try

Jello

Dull match up to this point. Hopefully it'll get better.

Blisterman

Will we see the third upset of the weekend? I hope so. 10 minutes left.

Ghost Train

still a chance for scotland

Its much of a muchness really. It's pretty much a play-off to see who gets to lose to SA. Or I could be wrong and Scotland could win the WC.

mikeruurds

Well done to the Pumas.

It'll be a tougher test against the Boks next week.

Guy:Incognito

They wont cause SA much trouble playing like that, the'll really have to up their game.

is_that_so

I have to say I thought Scotland blew it and Argentina almost did. Fair play to the Scots. Congrats to Argentina.
SA won't worry if that's how Argentina play.

Ghost Train

Not great from argentina, and good effort from scotland (compared to the other performances against argentina)
Good to see argentina stay in the competition

I would like to think that, but the Boks didn't play too well today either.

It'll be a good semi. I hope that the Boks play to their abilities and pip them at the post.

Guy:Incognito

Scotland really should have kept trying to run it there near the end , they were never getting under the kick with 2 or 3 argies over in the corner.

mikeruurds

Argentina have a very good tactical kicking game, but the Scots really played to the Argies strengths by kicking so much good possession away for most of the match.

It would've been nice to have seen Scotland using their back line a bit more in the early stages of the game.

Ghost Train

and the four qualifiers from the pool A & pool D groups into the semis

Creamy Goodness

god why did they do a cross field kick 5 metres from the line.

they should of kept going through the phases a bit more.

scotland were unlucky they put up a good fight, which was a surprise for me.

Don't know about that. SA are probably favourites but it's wide open IMO. Fukc me. Who'd have thought Argies and England in the SF and France in the wrong one too.

bugler

Neither team can take much credit from that. One of the worst games yet. The only impressive facet of Argentina's play was their ability to turn over Scottish ball almost at will.

I didn't see the SA game, and I know they had a struggle with Tonga earlier this WC, but if they fire in any way I'd expect them to beat Argentina.

pumas fan 2

I know it was not a nice match, but I´m too happy to think about that just now. WE´ll see now what happens with the boks. Thank you all. By. By.

admsitio

Come on Argentina! it was a nervous game, but it's was quarter finals... all the games are very closed... i hope Pumas-Boks will be a good game... ahhh i want Argentina-England in the final game.

pumas fan 2

One more: may be you are not aware of how important is this for argentinian rugby. Perhaps this result can, finally, produce the miracle of seeing our Pumas in a 7 Nations (or 4 Nations) tournament. Again: thank you all.

I hope so too pumas fan 2. It would be great if your team could play in the tri nations next year. We really need the injection of new talent.
