As a non soccer fan, who should I be pulling for today?

I am thinking Argentina because France won last World Cup. Is Messi a douche or generally regarded as a good guy? That will help me decide who to pull for, I guess.

He's generally regarded as a good guy. But as a professional Barcelona hater I cannot root for the guy

To my casual view people seem to generally like Messi even if they aren’t particular fans of his teams.

I love watching Messi. That pass from Messi was incredible; it set up the Di Maria goal.

Messi has been a douche this entire tournament. But he finally has that edge that can help his team, because Messi generally plays the way people want soccer players to play. He gets hammered a lot, he doesn't milk it, he never fakes injury, he pops right up, he takes a beating, he never cries or complains. That's been his history for 2 decades.

Then this tournament he's done all these things I just described and reversed himself.

That's OK. He gets a pass in my book.

Watch the 2nd half because Argentina will make it ugly. They are going to start fights, fake injuries, waste time, basically a lot of what the Brits call S_ _ _ house soccer.

I hate the way that Argentina play. That foul on Lloris was horrible and cynical -- the guy should have been sent off. Also, the penalty looked like a dive. But the second goal was a good one. So I'm afraid it looks like the bad guys are going to win.

@slam and @ArchAngel007 have confirmed my choice to root for Argentina. And now that they are up 2-0, I am liking that!

France under shock
Let see if they will be like Min Vikings yesterday

That 2nd paragraph alone is enough for me to root for Argentina. Good to know!

Cup needs to come to America, so ARG it is.

Yeah 5 straight games a team gets awarded a penalty is insane.

 

[Guts]

The French look defeated already.
They still have 45 min + to do something about it

Substitution of their two main attackers in the first half by France is a pretty drastic move, right? It’s not like they’ve even had much chance with the ball.

Giroud out is a surprise

It's interesting though. They took their two goal scorers out.

Look how one sided it is
