World Cup 2018 FIFA World Cup-Group D Thread (Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria)

[Jatz]

Does Messi owe Argentina now or do they still owe him?

Well seen as he's the only reason they're there, I'd say they still owe him.

Don't get why you would do this at a World Cup

Messi never looks like he enjoys playing for Argentina. Maybe he feels a significant level of expectation on him and country, therefore tries too hard to make something happen. Whereby he doesn't need to prove anything at Barcalona and has always had team mates who can take some of the pressure off.

tis the difference between messi and the great maradona - could you imagine messi leading a team like napoli to greatness?

The entire setup of the Argentine side is built around him - and I've believed for a long time that it's unfair on Messi. This doesn't happen with Barcelona at all. Not having Dybala in the hole to add some creativity along side him is ridiculous

Even Maradona's Argentina had some handy players that would crush you if you focused on Diego solely, who honestly in the current team can do that?

After a busy first 20 or so minutes it's fizzled out a little. Both sides should be on the board.

Agree, both sides have fluffed great chances.

Though it really is not an attacking game. Both midfields playing tight.

Rebic is useless. Was useless last game too.

I can’t shout it too loudly as I’m in Brač, Hrvatska atm and locals are riding every pass.

No Dybala is another pig headed decision from a national team coach.

Edit: and then he scores. lol

* yes! You ******* legend Modric!

He still has it. That was like the goal he scored when he knocked United out of the CL

 

[RPCB]

This is the most Argentina performance ever. They play s**t and then proceed to turn violent.

InB4 Messi bitch quits again.

 

[RPCB]

OMG! I love these guys. 3-0.

 

[ossie_21]

Come on Iceland! Would be great if they went through ahead of Argie

 

[Jivlain]

Yeah, but decent chance we come up against them if we survive the group and they looked pretty scary out there.

Easier to do when Argentina is quite so dismal, true enough. But still.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Haha lol Argentina

Rakitic should be MOTM. Had Messi in his back pocket most of the game.
