    WTF... Why did they just stop!!!

    Assumed it was offside
    I know but you NEVER stop... Keep going till the ball is out of play and then deal with it, especially with VAR

    Messi is a world class club player and a terrible international one. Never thought i'd say that.

    Even goal difference cant save them now

    What are you on about? They're still able to get through with a big win over Nigeria so long as Iceland lose to Croatia and draw to Nigeria which looks realistic if I'm honest! .

    Poor Messi, the players around him are just not up to his level according to commentary.

    Some of the best players in the world in that line up. Dominated today and drew with Iceland. But poor Messi.

    now argentina are reverting to type cheating and hacking. pathetic

    TBF Croatia should have been down to 10 in 1st half
    Could your nose be any further up Messi's arse?
    Dont get it, I never mentioned Messi.

    @Manicmania said Argentina were resulting to hacking and cheating.

    All I said is Rebic should have been sent off in 1st half.

    Did I mention Messi's name no, so maybe read things first.

    Croatia look like they could be a dark horse, for the semis least. If they come up against Spain or Portugal in the quarters they would give either a tough game.

    Argies throwing toys out the pram wankers, lovely viewing hopefully Iceland win tomorrow night and then Iceland and Croatia can have a nice draw
  • Messi is a world class club player and a terrible international one. Never thought i'd say that.

    Well he's Argentina's all time leading scorer. Can't really say it's his fault that their defence is shocking and they had no real game plan. Also Sampaoli's team selection was dreadful.

    Seeing Maradona nearly crying was good.

    Fingers crossed Iceland win tomorrow.

    Yeah for some reason Portugal know how to utilise him whereas Argentina dont with Messi... You have to remember that they only Qualified thanks to Messi

    Multiple reports suggest you mean "Messi's team selection"

    embarrassing by Argentina. one of the worst performances by them ive ever seen.

    also very poor by the Argentina players going straight down the tunnel and not really acknowledging the thousands of fans that have travelled half the world to see them.

    I'm not talking about what he has done before i'm talking about now. The guy is supposed to be their captain - what did he do to rally the troops? getting his players by the scruff of the neck or even trying a surging run to boost the players around him? No he sulked in the centre circle for 25 minutes and fell over a bit. He is a terrible international captain, and he hasn't stood up for his team at all. Not four years ago, now.
  • Wow!! All the so called top teams are looking shite.

    This is our year!! :smiley::smiley:

    Been to both Croatia and Argentina. Great countries with lovely people... Having chatted about football, nothing amused me more than seeing Argentina getting a thrashing

    he shouldn't ever have been their captain. then again I'm not sure they have anyone else to give the captaincy to.

    But who is worse, Messi or Sterling? There's only one way to find out...

    one of the players I really like in that Croatian side is Mandzukic. bloke just gives his all the whole time he's out there. does the same for Juve where he mainly plays closer to the wing. he's not the best forward but its all the other stuff he does during the game. never gives the defence a break.
