He had a PNFC daily, my Cotty, Marie, LME, and after possibly the worst 45 minutes we've seen

0:07.7

in the tournament. So far, Argentina came alive in the second half and got the job done

0:12.6

with a two-nil win, Messi, on the scoreboard. But never in doubt, LME, never in doubt at all

0:18.2

for this Argentina team. Never in doubt, never in doubt, everybody knew, everybody knew. Now listen,

0:24.4

the first 45 minutes to your point, well, no, I mean, it was unrecognisable from Leonos

0:30.7

Galani's side to be honest with you. But fair play to Mexico in the first 45 minutes,

0:35.0

they were just frustrating them. But you just knew that those legs were not going to last 90 minutes.

0:39.3

And obviously in the second half, little by little step by step, Argentina came in stronger.

1:24.8

the technical feed itself is probably not in the top half. But the scene with the way it came,

1:35.5

how quickly he got a shot off, all of that makes it, I think one of his most memorable goals.

1:39.8

By the way, I heard some breaking news because right here on my phone, I got a message and

1:48.7

it's a message from my FIFA guys. My FIFA guy who loves passing me on bits of information.

1:55.8

And you know that's been an issue with attendances in this World Cup. Are they real? Are they not real

2:01.2

and tonight? And I'm just going to read this to you verbatim. I mean, this is really fresh.
