I watched the origin last night (finally) and I thought the TMO worked quite well there. I know it's had it's criticisms, but I like the fact that once it's up there, it's up to them and they clearly explain what they are seeing etc.

@majorrage In the NRL does that MTO TV audio get played in the stadium? If so it's good development, however they only have to deal aussie ref's and TMO's no language issue. In union we have an issue with English not being the TMO or refs first language and then you throw in accent to the mix.

Took a full back finally putting in a good cross (that the wingers had failed to do) and a centre back with a superb finish (that the strikers had failed to do) to get Argentina through. Not sure what their strategy is but it isn't working - yet they survive and the French to play next.

Straya gooooone.
What was hilarious were a couple of OZ commentators pre-game talking about how the French needed to step up and show something or else they will get done next round.
Oz needed France to win and the obvious elephant in the room was that they needed to beat Peru.
No and no!

Normal stuff when a team is underperforming - coach is a knob / has lost the dressing room etc.
France won't be bothered about facing Argies

France haven't exactly been ripping up trees either, I suspect they have a soft underbelly. Once you are in to the knock out anything can happen. I was reading a football book with CF Jnr last night, was reminiscing about WC 82. Eventual champions Italy won a close game vs the Argies in the final group match, and got two uninspiring draws vs Peru and Cameroon. They went on the beat Zico's Brazil and Carl Heinz Rummenigge's West Germany along the way to the trophy.

Argies looked lost again but their 2 goals to win it were goddamn sumptuous so I suppose they deserve it.
Maradona was on top form, the mad bogan. Luckily fans aren't drug tested.
That shit always catches up with you in the end

Check out the watch on each wrist. Can't be that unbalanced.
Think I read that in his heyday he'd have a giant steak and bottle of red wine every day... for breakfast. Now that's some solid paving for the road to ruin.
I remember the story of the Argentine Minister of Beef(?) a few years ago, he had a large heart attack. Go figure

Is the girl to his left his nurse? Day release?
Maybe she sorts out his drug intake dosages
