The betting for ET: no further score is favourite, then a single goal for Argentina. Again, 10/1 available for a single Mexico goal...

So, do you still think it will end 3-1?

Probably not.
It depends if Argentina score early in extra time. If not, then it won't (as Mexico won't come forward and leave gaps), and it will probably go to penalties.

A little over 4/1.

theasfl · 06-24-2006, 05:59 PM

whats the percentage of extra time games that goes to penalties?

Chisanga · 06-24-2006, 06:00 PM

It often seems that teams prefer the randomness of penalties rather than risking being castigated for making a mistake in extra time. Can often lead to VERY boring extra-time being played out. Not always the case and I hope not here either

Messi nearly pulls Maradona's end to end run

Mexico snuffs another good Argentina run

That's often partly tiredness too; these don't really look tired.

theasfl · 06-24-2006, 06:02 PM

entirely end to end action now, no midfield build up

Sdpm100 · 06-24-2006, 06:03 PM

I'm just thinking if Mexico were to win, what it would do to the Argentinian people. After their first round exit in 2002, and after playing so beautifully in the group stage this time, to go out this early would be tragic.

Germany would love them to go out though.

magnet · 06-24-2006, 06:03 PM

Mexico needs to be a bit more aggressive in finding a good shot; their defense is keeping it tied.
