well hello and welcome for the first time this season to everybody around when at the expense of the other would be the ideal scenario for both a flying start is certainly required and nobody in this atmosphere can hide from the truth about how much this game matters the scene overflows with color and passion things have got on way here pretty promptly now it's demell oh that's a key interception and he can clear it away deple and they can counter here that's a shade optimistic it's always nice to see the silky smooth skills of Robert pz a really exceptional Talent he could play alongside anyway yeah I'll go along with that and I think when it comes to his position I'm going to say probably space is is is it because he finds it with such graceful movement and his invention does the rest a slightly better ball would have led to a very different outcome there ah that was just poor decision making and a weak execution Hernandez spots it and intercepts and it's D Maria a kuna hit into the middle and he's cleared it back out the oh that was di Emme Akuna defense has got rid of that now that's been intercepted some good work on the right flank here and it's messy kundai calmly anticipates now it's G that's good play from him oh the defense proved infallible then but that won't be the last they'll see of him that has not gone well he looking to set free a runner and he was quick to react deple Gonzalez now it's Messi now it's Di Maria that's very neat great hit that is decidedly lacking it was very much worth a try and I've seen worse that should tee him up nicely for his next attempt at least [Applause] and it's Messi Gonzalez they've been denight a chance to develop any rhythm in the passing Department ah that was expansive and incisive the type of move to please any coach couldn't squeeze it hit one go top man top draw and that is as cool as they come he picked his spot expertly well Peter I think the keeper knew straight away he was never going to get to there's the end of the first half number 20 number 18 here we go again Maria well one n may be good enough so they may ER on the side of caution and get more players behind the ball instead of running Beyond it they could even try to to spoil it from here we'll see rero kept his eye on it and he's there driving forward oh he's enjoyed that he evidently loves the contest there's the hit a potential not the best distribution ution from The Keeper now it's Martinez and that's another good win of the ball just coming up to the hour mark and it's still 1 n Alvarez and he's searching through tole a that was a and he's taking no chances there he's gone for go for this match was everything he had into that maybe better look next time and he's quick to snatch it back Argentina are totally dominant in the middle of the park and no way through Zone mbapp your impression so far Jim well I think it's pretty clear the message is to get the job done and the sooner the better that's just playing it safe and simple Fernandez Messi cut it out played out towards the right wing Griezmann that is great defending so alert should have go oh so close to Drawing level oh that'll be a major disappointment for him that should have got his team back in the game kundai cuts it out now it's Messi and he's away can finish it's run loose who's going to get there Argentina have themselves a corner I think kundai with the clearance [Music] auna niceties are not part of this approach this is actually quite aggressive and here's Messi and he's got the and Messi and yes it's there it was a great finish he put it away with great Poise Dead Eye accuracy no other outcome there that was bang in the corner Unstoppable two up and he's had a shot terrific effort just off Target well the keep four added minutes has been [Applause] indicated and he cuts out the supply he'll try from distance that Argentina can C have exactly what they craved any Reflections on what you've seen Jim from the manager's perspective Peter I don't think he could have asked for much more well certainly result wise this is a game they wanted to win for so many reasons and his players did a sterling job carrying out the instructions thoroughly enjoyable my thanks to Jim we both wish you a very good
