Re: Argentina 0-3 Croatia | Pivotal Group D Match
Argentina will hope for a draw tomorrow, Nigeria will hope to win by a few goals tomorrow, Iceland will hope to beat Nigeria so they are croatia can play for a draw knocking out Argentina
The ball is in Nigeria court, Iceland is probably the world most improved side or its just that argentina are crap, tomorrow we find out, Iceland will not play an open game with Nigeria, they are smarter than that
They will look for mistakes and capitalise on that, if they score first, they lock shop

If Iceland were able to hold Argentina and Croatia beat them 3-0 when it really mattered, then it proves the Argies are crap2drama wrote:Wait ooo Friendly na Friendlycharlie wrote:Fair point,...Rawlings wrote:Result also puts our 4-2 victory against Argentina in a whole new lightcharlie wrote:Result puts our match against Croatia in a whole new light.
Very impressive side. Classy performance and dismantling of Argentina.
Now, our turn to take care of business. First against Iceland, then against Argentina, na war!
World Cup na World Cup
So, a friendly result over a crappy team should not be a measure of Naija's strenght

How do this small nations do it? Croatia population is only 4.8 people. Rivers state has more people.

Re: Argentina 0-2 Croatia | Pivotal Group D Match
Anybody who talks of Messi in context of the GOAT, I will personally direct the person to the nearest transformer so he can hug it in heavy rain and lightning. Messi is nothing but a club player. How many World Cups and Copa Americas will it take to show this beyond doubt? The man has no heart. No courage. Did anyone see him praying before the game instead of depending on his playing? Useless man without his Barca teamates.SylverEagles wrote:We can lampoon the Argentina defence all we want and they surely deserve it but what has Messi and co done up front? 1 goal in two games...

So now Argentina will be looking to beat us if they wish to qualify for the next round. I laugh in Spanish

Damn! Now I'm thinking of heading back to Russia to see Messi's final international game if Nigeria beats Iceland tomorrow.

I will NOT be surprised if Jorge Sampaoli resigns tonight.
That 3-0 defeat is apparently their biggest World Cup defeat since 1958!
Kai!

Re: Argentina 0-3 Croatia | Pivotal Group D Match
The ball needs to get from defence to midfield and then attack before it an find Aguero, talk less of a well guarded Messi. Oga Kun had fewer touches than a handcuffed Bill Cosby at a casting audition and yet, Oga is without doubt one of the game's finest forwards. When world quality can be reduced to absolute sh*te, the issue cannot be within the individual alone. Argentina don't know how to get the best out of Messi, rather have an unshakeable belief that stray passes in his direction and balls to feet when surrounded, are enough to initiate the super saiyan,
From a purely tactical perspective, it was as close to suicide as it gets today, 3-4-3, with no defensive cover wide, an uncertain, asynchronous press and a build from the back approach with half the team in the opposing field and ball shy centre backs asked to play David Luiz. Trailing, Sampaoli yanks Aguero for Higuain, changing little for large yet making no effort to close the gap between attack and midfield.
As an admirer of Sampaoli's work with Sevilla and Chile, this has been disappointing, in truth his whole tenure has been. Poor decisions and shocking systems of play. Granted Argentina don't have the legs of Chile, but what he pulled today was utterly abysmal. Paint his face black and any hoe of a Rooney rule are dashed.

Re: Argentina 0-3 Croatia | Pivotal Group D Match
Papa ohsee, no be only Messi. Just looking at the anthems alone I can tell that something is not right mentally with that with that team. I saw it with Iceland and I noticed it again today. From the games I have seen Argentina are the only team that do not project any sense of confidence or togetherness or 'spirit' when they stand for their anthem. Each player stands by himself, isolated, doing their own thing, or staring vacantly ahead and frankly looking terrified. Did anyone else notice this?ohsee wrote:Anybody who talks of Messi in context of the GOAT, I will personally direct the person to the nearest transformer so he can hug it in heavy rain and lightning.

Messi has not shown up at this WC but football is still a team game and honestly I have to wonder what Sampaoli has been doing with this team? They look awful and bereft of coherence in defense or attack.
