Messi continues to dominate in this world cup and another good goal and its impresive how he finds the space and scores the goal. Australia was attacking decent in the first half but just couldnt score and Argentina and Messi punished them this now means that Australia has to attack even more so there will be more room for Argentina to score.
Argentina dominated the first half well, there weren't many chances but once they did, Messi immediately scored. Messi showed his quality and he really made good use of the opportunity even though 3 Australian players tried to block him.

In the second half, I think Australia should appear to be attacking rather than defending and counter-attacking because their strategy in the first half was completely unprofitable. Argentina will score more goals with the way they attack, but if Australia do better then the game will be very interesting.

Well Argentina have found the lead with beautiful goal from Messi but Australia will sure change their tempo to find themselves and equaliser. It sure is tough but a single mistake can turn around this game and Australia will looking for those opportunities. It's time for Australia to bring in something different into their plan if they want to find an equaliser in the second half.
Argentina must avoid set-pieces, I see Australia being dangerous here. So as much as possible Argentina should not commit fouls in the area of ​​its defense, so that will make their defense safer. In the first half Argentina played well without making any mistakes, so I think their tempo will increase in the second half.
Argentina had good possession in the first half and managed to score 1 goal. But Australia is playing full defensive. As this is the knock out phase, Australia will look to make goals pay in the second half. Argentina can score more goals in that opportunity.

What a day to be alive and making history as Messi's marked 1000th match, and also scored his first goal in the knockout stage. That goal was quick with great assist from Otamendi, you just have to love Messi's speed in getting in between players, they fear him whenever he has the ball and approaches him with fear. The game isn't over yet, but I'm guessing we already know who will be awarded man of the match.

If Argentina eliminates Australia from the knockout stage, Argentina will have to face the Netherlands, who have yet to lose any match.

First goal for Argentina from Messi, that was a great goal
Australia was a kind of proving to be strong to conceive goal in the first 30 minutes of the game, but finally Argentina legend Lionel Messi had done it again.

Despite the goal Argentina needs to put more pressure to get a second a goal in order to secure the game, hence what happened to them during the Saudis match might repeat again and in this stage right now, there's no next opportunity to correct the mistake because this is knock out stage.
You are absolutely correct, there is no second chance to correct any mistake in this stage, I personally believe the goal from Messi wouldn't have happened if not for the foul an Australian player did which awarded Argentina the free kick that resulted to this goal, but thats football, something must happen for goals to be scored.

Argentina shouldn't relax though, Australia has indeed played a very defensive game so far, and they have indeed proven to be well coordinated and supportive to each other, Argentina must put more effort to score a second goal, if not, I see this match ending in a 1:1 draw because i know Australia will try all they can to score in the second half.

You are right. Argentina won't be ahead by 1 goal. Argentina now need to increase the goal difference with more pressure. Because a goal can be paid at any time. But I expect Argentina to perform well in the second half and be able to score goals.

Most of people think this as an easy game for Argentina but Australia are also no joke. They have been one of the surprising teams in the WC so far. Although Argentina are better with the squad and all but some tactics can surely change things around if defence are not aware enough. So far WC has already surprised us so I am still not eliminating chances of Australia surprising Argentina at all.

It will be interesting to see what game plan Australia come up with in this game because they normally wouldn't win against a squad like Argentina.
Australia is not to be underestimated, they are also very dangerous when counter-attack. So far Argentina has dominated the game with ball possession, while Australia has tended to stay in its defensive area. Nothing exciting yet because neither Argentina nor Australia have managed to create any chances, but I don't think Australia will have many chances if they play like they are at the moment.

Argentina will win this fight if they continue to put pressure on Australia's defense, but so far I don't see anything interesting in this match. The first 25 minutes were a bit boring, but I hope the match will get more interesting as time goes on.

Well Argentina have found the lead with beautiful goal from Messi but Australia will sure change their tempo to find themselves and equaliser. It sure is tough but a single mistake can turn around this game and Australia will looking for those opportunities.

First goal for Argentina from Messi, that was a great goal
yeah first goal by Messi from Argentina . The goal was due to a mistake by Australia.  Due to a foul by an Australian player, Argentina got a good chance to take control of the ball near the penalty area.  And Argentina took advantage of that opportunity to score a goal through Messi . it was soo great
Australian players are after MEssi - they want to injure him so that he can leave the ground and they get a chance to. play
This is my prediction

Comparable to them controlling the ball because indeed this is certain to happen especially considering the current conditions that Argentina is indeed very superior in this match.
I think it's really difficult for a dark horse to beat a team that is considered big in the play-offs this time even though there were some surprises in the group phase but I'm not too sure about this phase.

I think Argentina will do three goals while Australie will not be able to make a single goal - the whole game is controlled by Argentine.

yeah right. and it's only a matter of time. but Australia's defense is pretty solid I think. so the first task for the Argentinian players is to be able to penetrate the solid Australian defense. although Argentina continued to dominate the game. but as we can see the Australian defense has not been penetrated by Argentina. while Argentina is sometimes careless in the area of ​​defense. for being too focused on attack. this can be very dangerous. because this reminds me a little of the Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match. at that time Argentina was too focused on attacking and the defense area became weak.
Aussie are in defensive style today
They just don't want them to score a goal. 25 min and the game is slow needed a Saudi spirit in game
yeah and finally Argentina can score. like I said its just a matter of time. because even though Australia's defense is so solid. but if Argentina continues to pound it then a little gap will definitely open up. and now Argentina is 1-0 up. congratulations to messi who has managed to score the first goal in this first round. and now Australia had no choice but to change their strategy to be a bit more offensive.

First goal for Argentina from Messi, that was a great goal, and that push from the Australian player to the Argentina player which awarded Argentina the free kick that brought about this goal was uncalled for, the player(couldn't get his name) acted like he had previously had a fight with the Argentina player he pushed...
But anyways, this is football, sometimes, things like this are indeed required for a goal to push through, I am happy for Argentina that they were able to turn this into a goal.

I am currently watching the Argentina vs Australia match right now, many rooting for Australia to win the match, but if this happens, it'll be another surprise.
Fingers crossed.
Argentina controlled the course of the match, but the defense that Australia built was very well so far that it was difficult for Argentina to penetrate their defense for at least the first 25 minutes. It was not surprising when Argentina took over the course of the match because they did have the ability to. Australia is very careful to get out attacking because they don't want to be hurriedly doing that. Because if Argentina manages to win the ball and counterattack, it will be fatal for them.

10 Australian players are defenders today. It is very difficult to score against such a defense. Argentina is not able to make any shots. They made several attacks. But they are not able to penetrate the Australian defense. If Australia somehow manages to score the first goal of the match today, it will be almost impossible for Argentina to win this match. Argentina's defenders will have to be careful. Australia will try to score from the counterattack. Argentina is likely to concede goals if their defenders are not alert.

So far, traditionally for play-off matches, the teams have played very carefully... In 30 minutes Argentina managed only one shot, which in my opinion is not typical for them, having such a strong line of attacking players... It will probably be very difficult for Australia to face Messi in the second half... I'd be surprised if this game ends 0-0 or any other draw... Although we've already seen a lot of upsets in this Championship, the first of which was shown to us by Argentina, but it probably won't happen again today...

Messi 1-0... Grin

Argentinian players are passing the ball very nicely to each other . Australian players are not getting the ball at their feet too much.
Possession doesn't win games, Argentina need to quickly get a goal just like Netherlands did earlier to prove their dominance. In this first half so far, I have noticed that the wing that Di Maria plays for Argentina which has been one of their most effective wing breaking through defenses is not the same and as effective as we have seen, the Argentina coach has decided to rest Di Maria due to the thigh injury he picked against Poland, so they decided to rest him from their starting eleven. I hope it doesn't become a problem for them, because with what I see and how defending the strategy of this Australian side, If they score first, Argentina will struggle to equalize.

That is correct -both the teams are unable to attack and there are no fouls yet both the teams are playing fair not to give the other team a chance
but Argentine seems to have more control of the game

I also think Argentina will win this match, but we should not forget that Australia beat Tunisia and Denmark. Although neither of these teams qualified for the 1/8, they were strong opponents. Although if you watch how masterfully Argentina defeated Poland and Mexico, Australia will not be a difficult problem for them. They have no right to make a mistake, as they did against Saudi Arabia.
well, Argentina should be able to win in this round of 16 match. and we can see in the first round that has just started, Argentina can control the game. Argentina continues to control the ball. just a matter of time I guess. and I will estimate or predict 2-0 in this match for Argentina win. And what Argentina needs to pay attention to is Australia's pattern of counterattacks which can sometimes be a problem for the defense.
I think Argentina will do three goals while Australie will not be able to make a single goal - the whole game is controlled by Argentine.

yeah right. and it's only a matter of time. but Australia's defense is pretty solid I think. so the first task for the Argentinian players is to be able to penetrate the solid Australian defense. although Argentina continued to dominate the game. but as we can see the Australian defense has not been penetrated by Argentina. while Argentina is sometimes careless in the area of ​​defense. for being too focused on attack. this can be very dangerous. because this reminds me a little of the Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match. at that time Argentina was too focused on attacking and the defense area became weak.
20 mins to the game - as if Argentine is in the practice mode -the ball is rolling in the feet of Argentine players
Australian players are just saving them coming close to the goal
I think Australia is playing a very good game from my observations so far, they already attempted the first goal which they missed, their defense is very good but I guess it is still very early into the match to really decide, they have also received one yellow card as well.

Argentina on the other hand are not doing bad at all, they are trying their best to keep the ball off their post even though they have allowed more corner kicks on their side.
