June 16, 20187 yr It's wrong, but I find myself annoyed with the Iceland schtick. It was new and novel a bit at Euros...now meh (and I don't give a shit about Argentina or Messi)

June 16, 20187 yr I was really surprised that the ref didnt call a foul on the keeper on the first run- he blasted the shit out of the icelander striker AFTER having punched the ball away
June 16, 20187 yr Willy Caballero is going to be the death of Argentina. I didn't think that Sergio Romero's injury was going to be a big deal, but holy shit does Caballero suck at commanding the box.
June 16, 20187 yr This is prob Messi and Ronaldo's last world cups so I'm rooting for their teams to advance. I like Iceland's team though. It's a model the US should follow

June 16, 20187 yr 7 minutes ago, AUS-97HORN said: wow that might be a handball Probably the correct call, but Agüero was making a run and would have had a shoot side shot if that ball hadn't hit the defender's hand.

June 16, 20187 yr Just now, SimonBolivar said: How did Iceland score? Kicking the ball into the back of the net. Turned the defense around and found a rebound. https://streamable.com/g51p4
June 16, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, SimonBolivar said: How did Iceland score? Argentina keeper is very suspect so far, he keeps punching the ball in play. In this case Iceland had 3-4 tries at goal in 10 seconds and finally converted after the keeper fucked up

June 16, 20187 yr Argentina playing like pussies, falling down in the box with any contact looking for calls.Glad ref called the handball off body first.And like someone said, I keep thinking it’s Bradley at CM for ísland

And like someone said, I keep thinking it’s Bradley at CM for ísland I haven't seen one dive in the box. I haven't seen a dive in the rest of the field. I did see an Icelandic defender deliver a body check before actually trying to make a play on the ball that wasn't bad enough to call a penalty, but would have possibly been called a foul elsewhere on the field. I would say that Iceland is diving more than expected and they're playing with a bit more 2010 Dutch squad "passion"/"improvisational physicality" than I expected as well. And anyone thinking that "Messi is going to have a response to Cristiano Ronaldo's performance yesterday" hasn't watched Argentina play for the last 8 to 9 year, nor the way Messi is defended in matches for the national team... especially when the opponent is vastly less talented, but parks the bus, and sticks to their defensive game plan.

June 16, 20187 yr iceland's passing is pretty bad.... but then again they do something a lot of other teams dont do- when close to the 18M mark they actually shoot the ball, even if its not an optimal shot. you never know when something will sneak in Edited June 16, 20187 yr by AUS-97HORN
June 16, 20187 yr Willy Caballero does not know how to hold onto a ball when it is sent into the box. Giving an extra shot to the opponent every time they have the ball is not a good recipe for a win.
June 16, 20187 yr I know they have been talking about it during the game, as well as the last 2 WC's, but fucking christ Messi is a cherry-picking sonofabitch. just stands around waiting to make a run or a shot Edited June 16, 20187 yr by AUS-97HORN
June 16, 20187 yr Argentina needs some more of that messi...just dribble around everyone...almost went thru 4 guys Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk
June 16, 20187 yr Argentina wants to go through Messi in every possession, Messi has tgeee guys on him. Everyone on twitter saying Messi is having a bad game is a fucking idiot.
June 16, 20187 yr did my local FOX station not get the world cup memo?So awesome when local stations override the programming. Are they showing infomercials?
