Ya, we are just not good enough to compete with the top teams in the world yet.

Good game Argentina.

Just totally outplayed and outclassed, Messi was in one those moods when he could have played in a recliner with slippers on. Free kick was so predictable: Guzan showed him the other side, Messi gave him the eyes, Guzan took half a step and Messi put it in the other top corner. Brilliant. The reverse ball for the fourth for Higuain was equally exquisite.

I hope Chile beat Colombia because they are the only team who can make the final competitive.

Well, after a storm of biblical proportions and a two-hour delay in Chicago, Chile finished off Colombia quite comfortably 2-0. Game effectively over after the first ten minutes or so with goals from Aranguiz and Fuenzalida.

The two best teams in the final and rightly so. Should be a cracking game and Chile will be hoping that Arturo Vidal is fit.

Argentina to win it - just.

Yeah, a massive tornadic t-storm complex rolled through the Midwestern US last evening. But they were able to complete the match.

Agree Ark. Argentina to edge it. But Chile are the holders and the pressure is on Argentina to win something, anything, after a 23 year drought. Sometimes pressure can have a funny effect on people...
