Nothing doing at half time with Argentina 0 Colombia 0. Not an easy watch. Neither side has had a shot on target but Colombia have had about 4 or 5 off to Argentina's one. The players trudge towards the tunnel, one or two of them shaking hands with their opponents already wtf. Maybe it's where he was positioned on the field when the ref blew up but Messi is first to cross the touchline off the field of play and en route to the tunnel. He looks like he's just played 90 minutes, not 45. They all do.

One of the Rolls of the tournament surely on '52 from Barrios. Saravia hacks him down outside the area and the Colombian rolls over four times, stops a moment, then throws in another two for good measure. Total roll count : 6.
The free-kick comes to nothing, though.

Argentina finally get their first shot on target. It's taken them an hour. But keeper Ospina is comfortably behind Pezella's drive.

Messi, trying to get a run together, is brutally sandwiched off the ball by two Colombians, and there is aggro brewing. This game has come alive.

Otimendi in the area forces a save from Ospina, but it's only a parry and the ball sails out to the head of Messi. He's six yards out but his header goes wide of the post!

GOOOOOOOLLLLLLL Would you believe it? Against the run of play the ball is hoofed forwrad from the halfway line and is picked up by Martinez just outside the Argentine area. He shifts it on to his right foot and powers one in, keeper no chance. 1-0 Colombia on '71.

Messi is lining up the free-kick from, what, 35 yards out. He drives a left footer low but it is an unimpressive effort and troubles no one. 12 minutes on the clock.

Lots of worried expressions on the faces of the Argentina fans. Even the babes aren't flashing their "hey look at me' smiles now.

GOOOOOOOLLLL! It's two. Again it started from the halfway line up to Zaoata who twisted and turned outside the box and moved in and unleashed a clean strike past Armani. Argentina 0 Colombia 2, just minutes left now.

He hasn't had that much to do, but what little Argentina have thrown at him Ospina has dealt with very well.

Messi floats in the free-kick with the ref about to blow up. Otemendi meets it but his strike is gathered easily by Ospina yet again.

There's a bit of bother as Lerma gives Messi a clout to the back of the head. Messi goes down and Lerma is carded. That's it, the ref blows up. Colombian fans are in full voice. Messi stands there for a moment then begins walking in slow aimless circles, shaking the odd hand every so often. He doesn't seem to know quite where to look. He had his chances, though, which is more than you can say for Aguero who was poor. 3 points for Colombia in a much improved second half.

The Colombian fans are celebrating outside the stadium. The wives are out looking for their husbands and poor Matius Hernandez had his celebrations unexpectedly cut short...

2 bloody nil! How the hell did that happen? MickeyMouse cup Not sure if you are serious, but in case you are: Colombia is not their neighbours Venezuela. They are no pushovers. And if that result means it is a Mickey Mouse cup, then the last Euros were a Goofy Cup, or have you forgotten Iceland beating a certain former World Champion?

Just tuned in to Uruguay vs Ecuador at the 60rh minute. Uruguay leads 3x0. Man, Suárez looks terribly out of shape! Is he still at Barcelona? They don't seem to be working him up very hard over there!
Lots of advertising in Chinese at the stadium. Weird.
