Like I told you guys even if SE plays this current Croatia team many times we are not Winning. QUALITY always show itself and even our 1994 team will not beat this Croatia team. You don’t get to play for
REAL MADRID, BARCELONA, Juventus, atlectico, Inter Milan and Ac Milan week in and out if you’re JUNK

Dude keep quiet. Are the Argentines playing backwater league in Azerbaijan?

Compare Argentina players vs CROATIA own and see who’s better. We lost to a much better team just support your guys and stop denigrating the coach.

So Croatian players are now better than Argentina players? Is it on paper, or plastic please?

Paper, or plastic? That's such a hilarious one, metalalloy. This bow is for you!

You didn't watch this game brother. This game was squarely on the Argie coach. He was desperate. Argentina was desperate. For me, this loss had a lot to do with Argentina than it had to do with Croatia. The mental lapses from the Argie side was obvious!

I think first game Croatia were themselves scared of Nigeria and so they were not as adventurous. The Croatia we saw today can and will beat almost anyone. Against Naija I thought Croatia were poor by their standards

They were poor against NIGERIA stop lying. They played to their tactics and formation

It's as much Croatia as Argentina. Starting with the personnel.

Not much can be done with this unbalanced Argentina team. Messi did well to get them to the WC. Take him away and they probably wouldn't be here...or be getting seriously beaten.

I definitely think Croatia outmatches Argentina individually in the back and midfield. And certainly collectively. Save for, of course, Messi.

Up front? Rebic, Mandzukic, and Kramaric together offer more than a combination of Higuain, Aguero, Acuna, and Pavon. They play better together and are more versatile: pace, power, skill, and some guile...serviced by a good midfield and backed by a strong defense and sure keeper.

Argentina didn't have the parts for a balanced and complete team. No one player could make up for this. Nor coach.

I didn't see anything too wrong Sampaoli did, aside from how he built the team up to this point. But on this game day, he did what he could with the players at his disposal. Croatian players collectively were better, playing the right tactics and having the optimal spirit.

Give us some credit. We're 2 - 0 and scored 5 goals. The burden of proof is on us to go farther, but I like what I see so far.

FIRST GOAL WAS A GIFT, AND...

...2nd goal, the defender allowed Modric to pick his spot instead getting in the way to block it.
3rg goal came after Argentina poured everybody into the offense.

Not taking anything away from Croatia - you make your own luck. Argentina didn't look their typical self and even Messi was MIA.

Argentine goalkeeper for sure does not help

Croatia did not play well against Nigeria.

O could care less if they won the world cup.

They did not play well against Nigeria.
And neither did we play to our strength.

Croatia are not a strong team, they are taking advantage of the disaster that's in front of them.

Had Argentina not conceded the early goal...it may well been a different ball game.

Croatia did what any smart team does; capitalize. Croatia wasn't good at all for both games but Argentina and Nigeria are both playing far below what they are truly capable of. On a regular I wouldn't bet on them to take on good teams and win but now they have momentum built on confidence so I wouldn't be surprise to see them go far.

The first goal was as much an error caused by poor defending. Otamendi should have headed out an easy high ball but he barely jumped and allowed the Croatian forward to reach the ball first. That was what led to the backpass and the error as the goalie was put under pressure.

No, a disjointed argentine team made Croatia look too good! Argentina came with too many individual star names and not a team, thats why they played like amateurs in the group

So the verdict is in: Croatia got lucky against both Nigeria and Argentina. 5 goals scored to 0 conceded worth of luck.

Fair enough.

I hope our luck continues.

I'm rooting for the Super Eagles to win their next 2 games. Maybe we get a do over in the final?

Credit goes to Croatia for winning the game. However, Argentina have the personnel to at least get a draw against Croatia but their goal was to win the game. If the Argie goalie didn't gift Croatia that first goal we may be singing a different song today. That goal really changed a lot for Argentina as desperation set in for them. You know what happens when you are desperate? You don't think well, and that's what happened to Argentina. Croatians were smart enough to recognize this andtook advantage. For crying out loud Argies were out of Substitution by 70th minute?!

Watch Atlanta 96 games between Nigeria and Brazil / Naija vs Argentina. Watch how our boys played under pressure and see how they technically defeated those loaded Brazil and Argentina teams, then you'd understand what I am saying. Argentina showed desperation and they lost.

By the way, SE vs Croatia game should be an example as well. The SE didn't show any desperation despite the fact of being down by one goal. They were very unlucky in that game. Although you make your own luck too. Good luck to Croatia. You deserve your points.
