One of the pundits pointed out that Argentina had 5 attackers, 5 defenders and no midfield, and he was absolutely spot on. Look at Modric's goal again, a line of 5 defenders backing off, 5 attackers in a line not bothering to track back, and Modric with all the space in the world.
Croatia are a decent side, no doubt, but Argentina are possibly one of the worst here.
I still reckon Nigeria will beat Iceland - but on this showing they could go on and beat the Argies too

Silly old bat
The Falklands Twitter account has been brilliant during Argentina's matches.
Nigeria may ask Argentina what score they want and then ask for their personal bank details, allegedly.
Did you not see the Alan Sugar thread? Some on here will call you racist for that comment.
He had Popeye shaped arms as well. Not a good look on a short stumpy man.

I apologise if I stereotyped a country that does a con trick. However, I would never ever make a racist remark about someone's skin colour or say they look like so and so.
Being compared to that idiot, Alan Sugar, is a bit hurtful. But I am truly sorry if you or anyone else was offended by my post. I hope we can draw a line under it now.

The midfield domination is a good call and I agree that Croatia probably have the best combination in the tournament. And let's not argue about little things on such a glorious night
I think my clumsy, three pints down, point is that no matter what happens with team selection there were errors tonight that were so uncharacteristically Argentinian (and as you point out we've seen it in our own team). If the final policy of a calamitous campaign is to select the "best" players for the sake of it then those players looked technically inept tonight.
Believe it or not I backed the Argies to win as part of a treble today because I got evens on them. That, to me, was basically a 50/50 shout on Messi winning it by himself or not. I thought they represented value - the Argentina of yesteryear would have been long odds on against Croatia. I'm absolutely delighted to have been done at the post. I’d never have backed them for the tournament. As [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] says they were stupidly short given their qualifying.
If they've any sense they'll use this as an opportunity for a massive clear out
they looked overwhelmed and therefore disinterested ......good to see maradonna choking in the crowd.....cheating ****

neither country is a race is it...??
It was more a reply to the negative people on here who said the Argentina side was miles ahead of England - when it wasn’t.
As [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] pointed out the goalkeepers are the worst in the entire World Cup.

A different kind of pasty
You've definitely not watched the two Saudi Arabia games. They've tried two and they've both played like Graeme Smith.
