LIVE COMMENTARY… FINAL SCORE Argentina 0 Vs Columbia 0
That's the ball game folks, Argentina getting another draw. Thanks for coming.
90 mins: Colombia have a late chance to steal the match but it's a let down from all angles. Video up soon.
82 mins: Argentina are getting more than desperate to get a winner... with shots like Messi's a few minutes ago they have no chance.
78 mins: Free kick to Argentina just on the edge of the area at the corner. Wonder who will size this one up? Yep, you guessed it, Messi. He has a left foot trained and WHAT A SHOCKER!
75 mins: A couple of corners to Argentina but poor delivery from the magical feet of Messi. Game has become a little stale needs a goal... and it nearly comes as Martinez pushes away a Higuan effort. Video up.
65 mins: Tick, tick, tick goes the clock and pressure, pressure and pressure is building on the Argentine backs. Of course, the pressure must also be building on their front men cause they are in serious need of getting a goal or two... or even on target!
62 mins: What a break by Colombia as they sweep nearly the length of the pitch before Pablo Armero fires it inches past Romero's post. Video up.
59 mins: Couple of substitutions for Argentina as they get desperate for a goal. Tevez does well and makes a nuisance of himself in the box but the shot is blocked.
50 mins: Colombia again looking the more dangerous of the two sides. Things a getting a little tetchy out their and we are seeing two-footed tackled and anger building in players from both sides. Back to the football, and Mascherano ha dig from about 355 yards and Martinez can do nothing bot somehow fend it away. Argentina also hits the post from a Messi header but it wouldn't have counted. Video up.
48 mins: Messi has returned for the second half though he seems to be running a little gingerly on that ankle.
HALFTIME 0-0... see you after the break. Slight ankle injury to Messi. Will he come back out after halftime?
44 mins: It's been a great game - entertainment aplenty - and you'd definitely give the advantage to Colombia.
42 mins: Romero fends off a great effort by Colombia. What a strike by Falcoa as it dipped and diced in the air. Video up soon.
41 mins: There's the beautiful game in action as it's tapped back and forth between the Colombian strikers and straight through the heart of the Argentine defence. A volley was on the cards at the end of the movement but Ramos takes a touch instead.
38 mins: The longer this one goes on the more confidence Colombia will gain. Argentina's coach is right though - his team is no Barcelona.
34 mins: Martinez stands up to the one-on-one as Argentina splits the Colombian defence wide open. Martinez spreads well, getting a foot to the shot and the chance for the home side to go 1-0 up is lost. Video up.
30 mins: Argentina breaks out and Tevez beats the offiside trap but the through ball is too strong and keeper Martinez handles.
26 mins: Penalty to Colombia!!! No, no penalty!!!!!! Geez, what went on their as Ramos tried to round the keeper and was brought down by the cover defence and the open goal was then missed by Dayro Moreno as the ref called play on. Video up.
25 mins: The home side is trying to settle things down again after that chance at their own end. Pass... pass, pass, look up, pass, pass... foot in, pass... Colombia steal the ball and break and Moreno has a crack for an acuteangle. Hmmm... great effort but very, very ambitious.
21 mins: Colombia should be 1-0 up but it's put over the bar by Moreno. WHAT A CHANCE! On target and Romero wouldn't have had a chance in between the Argentine sticks. Video up.
18 min: Columbia have a long range free kick and it's in row z... well, it is now.
15 mins: you get the feeling that a goal could come at any time. Another dangerous cross from the Argentinian side. Video up
12 mins: First real shot on goal by Argentina, Banega letting one rip from distance.. Video up.
8 mins: Ohh Argentina looking dangerous and create all sort of problems for the Colombian defence. Video up.
4 mins: Colombia make their first surge into the Argentine box and win a corner. It's a poor one though and from the melee a Colombian player is chopped and Colombia win a free kick which is likely to be swung in. Another poor effort. Video up of Argentina's first attack.
2 mins: Colombia is yet to touch the ball. Argentina passes it around the back and then trying the exploit the edges - very patient from the home nation.
1 min: 47,000 football fans watch the ball being rolled off by Argentina. We're off! We'll get some of the great video highlights up - which I'm sure are on their way - as soon as they occur.
The national anthems are being sung and we are nearing kick-off. Can Argentina bounce back from what was certainly a shock draw against Bolivia? Messi looks like he has his game face on.
Kick off is not far away in the meantime watch action from the Argentina Vs Bolivia match.
Pregame
Argentina, Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez have a second chance at the Copa America, and anything less than a victory against Colombia will turn up the heat on coach Sergio Batista and his two star players.
Batista is expected to attack again today through Messi and Tevez, with support from Ezequiel Lavezzi and Ever Banega. The problem is: Messi and Tevez have seldom played well together and notably didn't in the opening 1-1 draw with Bolivia.
Batista can't bench Messi. Tevez, the most popular player in Argentina, is also untouchable. That puts Batista under non-stop scrutiny, with Argentina hosting the Copa America and expected to win the tournament for its first major title in 18 years.
