OT - World Cup 2018 Thread

This Argentina performance so far is exactly what I was talking about the other day. There is no shape, no clear direction or strategy. They're a clown car of ineptitude.

Perez misses a sitter of a shocking touch by the Croatian right back.

Mandzukic returns the favour. Backline fell asleep and he misses a header a few yards out from the back post. Dreadful.

Absolutely awful game. Yet entertaining, weirdly.

Because Brazil in a final is something different...

Argentina's best performer by a mile so far this tournament is the one player the fans didn't want there - Javier Mascherano.

The clown car provides another laugh.

1-0 Croatia.

Willy Caballero somehow decides the best pass he could play is a deft chip over the attackers head, unfortunately he forget he was Willy Caballero and instead Ante Rebic hooks the ball on the volley into the top corner. Great finish, even worse howler.

And during the celebrations Argentina have brought in Gonzalo Higuain, not to help Sergio Aguero though, but to replace him.

The coach should be fired.

No llores por mi argentiiiiinaa

Wow Croatia 3- Argentina 0..... just wow

Surprising outcome. Nigeria's loss doesn't look so bad now. Bet they're feeling a sense of urgency now that Argentina, the team that was supposed to own the group, is sitting at 1 pt only. Now or never for the young team. Iceland is good. Won't be easy. Hopefully they can control their nerves.

Glad argentina lost. Can’t stand them. Now they need Nigeria to win tomorrow. Anything can happen. I am not surprised in anyway that Croatia won this game. Croatia has some nice players. I saw it as 50-50 coming in.

By the way that was some goal by modric. I think Croatia can make a run here. They could likely face Denmark in the round of 16. Winnable game.

If Iceland wins tomorrow Argentina is F****d

Losing by 3 goals is deveststing for them.

I was thinking about that. Allowing that 3rd goal could be costly. Iceland needs to play aggressive tomorrow and try and win by more than one goal. Won’t be easy though even against Nigeria.

So did Argentina looked like fukfaces in that match, or am I just a dumb newbie?

That one guy kicking the ball while the other dude on the ground was crappy as hell.
