a killin and boppy gets it for the last 16 clash with poland. ah, joining me in the studio for the show is football analyst, chima solaire. we'll get her thoughts in just a moment. we have our 1st 2 quarter finalists off to a dramatic opening day to the woke up knockout stages. in the past hour, argentina advanced off the beating australia with leon al missy. again, the key man. it is $1000.00 korea game. messy schooled he 700 and 89th gold to give the south americans the lead is 13. go in the last 8 matches for club, and country was the only shot on target from either side. in the 1st of all, justine, of it was a doubled, often error from australian keeper, mass ryan, who over to bondage to make a to know in the last game of this tournament at the mud, been on the stadium,

the all these go to flights of law when a shot from substitute been goodwin deflected in or in the finance days it was given as an own go. australia had hope. macy was at the heart of everything origin . tina did well but could not find a 2nd go and like so many game here and it was a forensic finish. geron cool, almost snatched an equalizer for radio, but argentina held on the when to one plenty of twists and turns from the fence to enjoy it. the mother been ali stadium and enjoying the match for us. was paul reese? yes, pater lots of good evening to you how messy bill once again. just hello good. he is leaving. so i interrupted you about that better. yeah, lots of happy and perhaps relieved argentina panels leaving this stadium. amazingly

. that was little message. first. ever goal in a world cup, knockout round. and let's bring in one iran go off. i can't tell twice. 22 football analyst. when do you get the impression from watching that that little massey can drive argentina all the way to the final maybe to the driving. he can be a catalyst, but he's not going to be the driver if you will, because you need a lot more pieces to be able to come through at this stage of the tournament and beyond. messy yes. can you make a difference? yes, but you need to see the other players loved martinez wasn't playing his best game. bubblegum has struggled a little bit. there are some players that really did have some struggles and add to that a little bit more drama towards the end when australia got one back. and you saw the part one of the very last place of the manage. the will martinez had to come in and save argentina from going into extra time. why do you think margins either were so nervous? they're against australia. you get nervous when you don't start finding spaces. when you don't start being able to find the clarity necessary to be able to come

through again, australia is a very tough nut to crack. so when you start seeing how they play, you need to be patient. you need to be able to find the way which they did towards the end of the 1st half. but as time progressed, you saw in argentina got much news or, and as they got much looser, they created more opportunities. while i say they regain that clarity and the lotta lotta stages, argentina now go on to a course of final against the netherlands. they might have to raise that level again. if that's a full fell, what little messy will hope is. his woke up destiny. pizza, full res. thank you very much for that. now. watching with the fans back home in australia, sarah clark is in brisbin and our latin american edit salisia newman inborn us. i res lucio a few nervous fans at the end. but the lights that argentina managed to go through oh yes, it did, and i was absolutely a nail biter. i mean,

it was just seconds from the extra time in the 2nd half that australia. oh my god mag goal that equalizer. and you should have heard the sigh of relief here. people couldn't believe it, but on the other hand, they were as usual, overjoyed. and what i'm seeing right here in this same park, this is the 3rd time i've been here, is that every time there's a game more and more as argentina, advances in the world cup to a new stage, more and more people come out. i mean, there's just this kind of feeling that they're getting closer and closer to that dream of actually winning this world cup, which certainly didn't seem like it at the very beginning as everyone remembers with that shock defeat a saudi arabia at the very beginning. but now they really feel like they've got their groove back, that they're playing better and better and messy was clearly enjoying this game like, like really never before. you almost had 4 or 5 more goals in there. and that made

people sort of laugh and be joyful and sing his name out, which i hadn't seen for a long time. i don't know if our, if our viewers can remember that at one point when argentina lost the got badly very fell order for the 2nd time. a lot of argent times were blaming messy, saying that he played better for barcelona than he did for argentina. and that it was all his fault and he resign. you said he was never going to be a part of the national team again. and that's when argentine suddenly said, oh nope and begged him to come back. and ever since then, i think there's a greater appreciation for mercy and for their team. and so are in a next in about a week or so we're going to see more and more people, tens of thousands of them here in this park again under the sun, cheering for their team. and hoping that they will go in to from the quarter finals into the semi finals and then into the final of the world cup. newman is when osiris there o'clock is in brisbin. there. it was in very early start for the fans in australia,

disappointment with the result. but an achievement for the soccer is to get into the last 16 again. absolutely. look at a guess. he said a huge disappointment. not just for the sucker, ruth, but the 1000 millions of australian fancy chewed in very early here in australia to watch this guy. but we did into this match as the, the invincible to the, the underdog that we were up against the will come favorite thing, argentina. so despite the fact that we did lose, thank goodness, we did get that one goal. but there is appointments, but it's, it's heavy to say. and i think most of strains and the people saying is happy to say that this will cup has reinvigorated the interest and the football fan. bice, across this country, it was a solid game. we have played argentina before, but we've only ever been the one that was back in the boston daniel gold cup. so the expectations were relatively low, but the energy was big and we had thousands of people around the country, including here where i am. and bruce been watching this time with great

disappointment, the quick to disperse, but certainly everyone feel fulfilled that this was a well cup played very well from a team the strength team that didn't expect to make it to the last 16. so a strain will be happy and i think it's fair to say that the football team has turned a corner and we certainly have a reinvigorated football team. thanks to this time. and this world cup and soccer success said thank you very much for your report. i want to speak to jemison. now, here in the studio, jimmy, we thought beforehand that origin heated with a favorites when they did so to want to movie last 20 minutes for them off the let's be honest, bit of a freakish own goal as well. how happy of a to just get through this match. sure, they are very much relieved. then probably they were unexpected and expecting either so complicated to game and it was a very uncomfortable especially 1st house. as we expected, i was trying to try to build a cage or a non p missy plan,

and it was quite well because of the 1st 2025 minutes. and you couldn't get so many both. but you cannot do messy. i mean it's very tough to do these for 90 minutes. so eventually he put his quality. he started for display that ended with his 1st goal. and you can, you could see the says his quality, of course, no surprise. he was elected the men of the much and with that goal, everything seemed to be easier in his much $1000.00. so to go in the work up, eventually he passes a model as a gentleman with motor goals, work up and you use it and you wouldn't say that display, it has 35 years old because he ended 90 minutes injury time with so much phase. and he's so important, he's the inspiration, absolute inspiration for the theme i would like as well the, the role of the various and so fed of 9 this,

these 2 youngsters have definitely bought the ticket to the start of 11 of color into and but being said, that i think that our gen dina has yet to combines us during 9 to minutes in this woke up. all right, we're going to talk about their opponents in a moment. because next up for the origin times it's the netherlands. the dutch overcoming a spirited usa team, $2.31 in the round of 16 and counts in the united states government. it is from the star satellite international stadium. only a great say from under locker prevented christian krusik giving them the lead in the 1st knockout tie of 2022. the netherlands in their traditional orange opened the school in that they faced meaningful attack memphis de tie with the goal. he is now sick and on they all time scoring list with 43. robin van percy is the record holder with 50. the dutch double they need on the so to house on daily blend was to

go to make it to know the us food one back at the start of the 2nd half substitute how to you right? given them some reward for their hard work, but it was the middle into one thanks to the clinical finishing denzil, dumb freeze. put the gloss on a $31.00 victory to end american hopes. the u. s. so out there next woke up, match will be in full year's time when they are co hosts. so i'm very happy dutch fans around the khalifa international stadium to the waste of the capitol. doha. so hale malik was watching the match with them and spoke to some of the fans off to the game. the fans leaving the khalifa international stadium were treated to a really professional performance by the dutch national team. now they were hoping not to be the latest victims of a giant killing here. i caught that 2022. lucky for them. they didn't face that. and you can see many of their friends over here. very high, very happy and lots of relief. possibly. they're now going through to the last date,

the 1st team to qualify. it's a massive turn around for the dodge. they didn't even qualify for the last well come. now this moment is one that bounds going to enjoy and rejoice. as i look forward to the rest of cutoff 2022 guys tell me how much you enjoying yourself off that when i think amazing. yeah. i was, we were a little bit scared coming up the match, the united states and made really well and so on that evidence. they go all the way . it's gonna have a good. they keep me like this. yes. what's your message to the duck team? does that to you guys? you guys are growing in your, in how you played a field. i'll just keep it up and i'm sure we'll see what the role title back a

there is dutch delirium in the netherlands at that result. step fosten has been with parting friends in amsterdam. oh, spotty going on, and it's called kathy and anthony, a final grade for the management people here to read the finals again and to wait to find a 3 times and every but number one, the world cup. so there's a lot of excitement that that may be within reach right now. so i, i in english or into an english, i'm feeling great. we be view as a, a grade next step to the next round. i couldn't be more happy model. okay. number one, the world cup, you think that's possible this time?

absolutely. i mean we have louis bow, which is a great guy. we're going to win. okay, go, we go. as you can imagine and the, the rolls around the balls wrong. this not only happening here in atlanta, but all over the people are really, really excited and very happy with the phone. let's go with so the usa now has the next we'll come to look forward to on home soil. gabriel is on bo was watching with fans in one of the host cities for 2026, kansas. clearly a lot of disappointed usa soccer fans are so match just ended and thousands of fans or now leaving just watch tardy on it's very cold day. here in kansas city,

missouri vans were excited. they showed up more than 2 hours before the match even started chanting singing songs. and they were hoping that the u. s. good when in advance further in this tournament. but it was not meant to be the world cup will be back here in kansas city in 4 years because kansas city is one of the whole cities holsburn years for the 2026 world, got 4 years from now. all right, the netherlands move on to the quarter finals where they will play argentina jemma . the school was 31 against the united states. did it feel like a 31 kind of game? yes, it was not a brilliant game by the netherlands. i think it was quite pragmatic, all day ward, that height pressure, any glass effect, if that force said the lot of mistakes of their american tea men and they did their birthday, chances are well memphis that by, with his 1st goal, i think you might be kind of relieved because he arrived to the tournament a still

a little bit injured after 2 months not being able to to compete. and he's got, he has said, pays now or it wasn't. there was a know, well of course he got bought the ladies one of the brilliant youngsters of the, of the netherlands. and i would like to highlight as well. danny blinder who that to neil just after a very clear chance from the americans that they couldn't a getty there and who was one of the most important men of these game with that goal was the see. so with many clearances, 7 recoveries, and it was a pragmatic performance from the, from the t montalvan got it, and louis from fall is one of the mos tacticians of wolf football. he'll tell you he's the most experienced coach ap of tournament. can he mastermind have when over the argentines? it's gonna be a very tight game. i think for what i was mentioning earlier today that they haven't seen a 90 minute good performance of argentina. they have probably more quality

players, sir. especially in the final 3rd though more spectacular. ah, at the same tier dime they are more competitive, but maybe the netherlands are morelia reliable, especially in defense. so ha, i cannot tell i, i have to think about my, my e. i think that again, dinner will go through because see to one of my candy that since a very beginning. but it's anything can happen in that part on this is to be an exciting match and they have history at the world cup as well. ok, and xena and the maryland now for teams are busy preparing for the last 16 games on sunday. it's france up against poland and england sizing up synagogue did edition says he french team will watch poland, captain robert leben dorski very closely. either mine is obviously, he's a very clinical striker. and with that type of player, you have to try to restrict his influence in the game because the less he receives the ball let he can do that. obviously he's a very clever player. he's technically very gifted. he knows how to use his body

very intelligently. he didn't get a low ball in the matches in the group stage, but with just one chance he can be very dangerous and put on. ponens boss says he's players, belief in themselves will be crucial. and if they see or france, they can go all the way in the tournament. the only way from the shuttle. they are the raining will champions. if you can play against the world champions. well, if you, when you become a world champion, i think if we win against france, we could become the next world champions. we know that france is a wonderful team. they have a great manager. he won the world cup is a plan as a coach as well. they have experienced players, young players playing against france. we need to dream about scoring goals, and we'll do it as much as we can. fighting words they from mission year, which can poland stopped. france, of course they can for the started, they have an amazing goalkeeper to say. he has proved that he can save his team and

they have live on the sky as well. and he has an inspirational lay and millage and the rest of the, of the players. i can find him, of course it could stop front. but being said that for me front is one of the main candidates. they have the dual impact on those is great. but i thing live on the sky is too much alone up there. and why are you so well it's rhonda france has monitor to overcome the course of the injuries players, the being the defending champion so much they were a top of the group and for me, the performance of poland has been one of the most for again, one of the better. so now let's talk a little bit about the world champions. you mentioned they ravaged by injuries coming into the truman. pop up is the probably be the, the most high profile of the, of the ben summer. but they didn't seem to have had much of

a problem in that aspect. what did they need to do against the pulse to make sure that they avoid a lot of 16 exit? do you think? i think they need to show they, they and it is a growing team because a force or we're talking about been semi can by him. most of these names would have been in the starts. so they need to grow as a team because we have seen good performances and we have seen not so good. they prove again, surely that they, they make mistakes as well. so now it comes reality for them the time that a mistake means being out of the work up. so i think the chums needs to prove that they are a team a together team and they can be once again, champions. absolutely. and that will be the 1st time since $962.00 that it seems successfully defense. they will cup crown. now synagogue coach l u c say has been unwell, so he's assistance gave they pre match news conference, the school confidence of making the quarter finals for the 1st time in twins. the

use that one on logistical and legal, more beating england would be a tremendous achievement. i don't know how important it would rate compared to the victory in 2002. that was an important victory as well. but i'm sure it's almost as important. and for all of the players, the objective is to show that we are capable of playing one of the top 5 teams in the world. they are known before, i think. but if we can beat it, seem like that that sends out a very strong message of the progress that we have made. as for england, manager, garrett southgate is under no illusion. the house of their opponents will be great competitive spirit. a lot of belief in the, in the team some excellent individual players who can cause problems, but a good structure to the team as well. so i think there was done a fantastic job. they were very lucky not to qualify from the group in russia, and deservedly done it, it's time so we know exactly the size of the task ahead of us. alright,

now we mentioned earlier that's in a go in the last 16 for the 1st time in 20 years, but it's only the 2nd time that they qualify for the absence of a skewed tactic. what chance to do the senegalese have more against the english? they have nothing to lose. they manage to get into the last 16 with all their biggest start, saw the money. they are the african champions. so it's a group of confident and talented players that they have no fear, nothing to lose just they can make a big surprise. i expect to rely on to dominate the double lions, i think, into what we could expect. and i think it's a serious theme. this english towels gave half hour call, maybe more to dollars, what we saw them in the euros in the nations, especially the nations, the relegation. and those problems in the, in the back line. so for me, england,

our favorites, clear of favorites, but anything that we have seen, many surprises and i hold there is at least a team from, from africa going to the next round it because we haven't really seen a big upset yet in the last not yet. do you think that the families could be the 1st ones to put it up for unlikely? i mean, we talk about africa teams. i think maroka have more chances, but you never know. all right, thank you for that, jim. and we will see you again tomorrow. i'm looking forward to your company and that is tomorrow, quarter finalists. that will be confirmed here at cost of 2020 to $2.00. tonight lean are macey guiding is origin seen a theme into the last a being of a parent to the radio. benevolent now away off the baby, the usa that they thought will have more than a special that the 8 that the gmc, the joint son and jimmy in the morning for that year on algebra here, i will see you again, tomorrow night, put your company,
