HOLY SHIT-  the Nigerian barely, barely touched him, and was already tripping himself

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.

Rojo and Otamendi are such idiotic CBs.  Who the hell puts a foot that high in the 6 yard box when you're that close to a forward?

Rojo is so mediocre in everything he does.

My guess is that at 6'6", Federico Fazio would be too slow to react to the shorter, quicker Nigerian strikers, otherwise, I have no idea why he isn't getting the start.

Fucking embarrassing.  God dammit.

Wakanda forever!

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.

Penalty! Nigeria! 

Nigerian out Argentined the Argentine.

Yes, that's a PK.  But Harry Kane's been treated worse like 8 times in 2 matches with no PK.

Messi can play however well he wants, his team's defense still fucking sucks.

slightly weak fall, but he was being hugged by the Argentine

Every corner kick would be a PEN if enforced in the EPL.

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...

If it was enforced they'd stop doing it

He’s slow as shit.

Maradona is scrambling for more coke right now. 

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

That was one of the weaker pull-downs we've seen in this tournament.

Mascherano seems like he sucks

Well...WHICH IS IT?!?!?!?

All the Argentines are thinking "come on Messi, do some of that soccer shit". 

No era penal.

Di Maria needs to actually get to the ball before he can dive.

PS- Croatia has scored.

iceland came within a wisker of going all square

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.

Although I wouldn't put it past Argentina to somehow screw it up.  

I rest my case

Hopefully this ends the era of hugging on corners, but that's pretty weak for a penalty.

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.
