June 26, 20187 yr 19 minutes ago, AUS-97HORN said: wow, that looked like a legit tangled fall on nigeria, not a takedown 18 minutes ago, AUS-97HORN said: HOLY SHIT- the Nigerian barely, barely touched him, and was already tripping himself 18 minutes ago, HenryJames said: You can tell it was a legit tangled fall because Di Maria didn't have time to fake it. It was incidental contact, that's why it was only a yellow card rather than a red. It was the right call and there was no acting on that one. Di Maria knows that if he dives, he doesn't get to take the free kick, so if he wants a goal, he stays up... but the incidental contact knocked his leg over to hit the back leg. Maradona needs to take another bump. Mascherano is the heart & soul of Argentina's squad. He may not have the legs, but at least in the first half he can make up for it with hustle. Don't see how he can play like this for 90 minutes on 34 year-old legs, unless he is seeing the Russian squad's trainers.

June 26, 20187 yr Croatia started a lot of reserves. Modric is still out there, but starters for the Argwentina match who are on the bench for Iceland are: -GK Danijel Subasic -Domagoj Vida -Dejan Lovren -Marcelo Brazavic -Ivan Strinic -Simi Vrsaljko -Ivan Rakitic -Ante Rebic -Mario Mandzukic So 9 Croatian starters are resting for the Iceland match. I totally agree with that decision on their part, but Argentina really needs at least a two goal win to be safe.

June 26, 20187 yr Penalty! Nigeria! Nigerian out Argentined the Argentine. Edited June 26, 20187 yr by InkaUtexas
June 26, 20187 yr Yes, that's a PK. But Harry Kane's been treated worse like 8 times in 2 matches with no PK.
June 26, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, AUS-97HORN said: slightly weak fall, but he was being hugged by the Argentine Every corner kick would be a PEN if enforced in the EPL.
June 26, 20187 yr Wow! Mascherano shouldn't have had his hands on that guy, but it was 100% a dive. I do not agree with that call. Also, how come some refs run over and look at the TV and others don't? Welp...

June 26, 20187 yr Tie game, Nigeria to 2nd in the group. Iceland would need a 2 goal win if this result holds.

June 26, 20187 yr No era penal. Di Maria needs to actually get to the ball before he can dive. PS- Croatia has scored.

June 26, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, Jograves said: That was one of the weaker pull-downs we've seen in this tournament. hard to feel for Argentina when they had a throw in go right to 3 of their guys and they pin balled it into a corner kick.
June 26, 20187 yr 50 minutes ago, ScottishHorn said: Although I wouldn't put it past Argentina to somehow screw it up. I rest my case
June 26, 20187 yr Hopefully this ends the era of hugging on corners, but that's pretty weak for a penalty.
June 26, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, Napoleon said: Nigeria is going to start diving like Guatemalans. I was about to say that Nigeria has been moved to Central America for the next 35+ minutes.
