Ideal starting position

Post by marutimon »

I have to underline that the win vs Iceland could have ended with a much bigger scoreline, but it's best that this didn't happen.

Actually 2:0 (or any win by two goals) was the ideal score for us.

Why? Because that means Iceland keep a goal advantage over Argentina. Argentina will not only have to win, but win by two goals, especially if Iceland - Croatia is heading to an Iceland win or there is a prolonged draw there.

That will mean Argentina won't be able to sit back and protect a 1:0 lead, but will have to open up.

Hopefully though Nigeria score first, because if that happens I can see this Argentina side crumble.

I only see a Super Eagles win.
I pray Javier Mascherano still plays DM and Otamendi plays CD.
