[Football] Argentina v Croatia

Exactly. Since Sampaoli took over he has tried 47 players and changed system every single game. You just cannot do that at any level, let alone at this level when you have even less time to work with players.

MASS confusion here. Whats the fricking score? My dad paused the game to walk the dog. Then my sister calls and says it 3-0. No its not. That was replay of the second goal on her telly though we are 4 mins behind now

And now it's 3-0 confusing
You have to be a team, showed with the third goal he could have gone for glory who would have blamed him 2-0 up no he squared it to make absolutely sure it would be 3.

have to say that was disappointing game until the goal, because both teams seems to play a game of "can i foul and get away without a yellow".
Messi. not realy very effective, couple of bursts, some passes, but generally he seem to let the game drift past him. contrast with Ronaldo who continues to fire up his team mates and get about more.

Those who properly watch South American football, before the WC, said they're awful. So it's proved to be.
Several of their defenders and midfielders were either once quality but now they're old, or are just not very good.
I didn't see the nuggets of young quality in there, simply requiring a great coach to turn them into winners.
Changing the subject, I thought Shearer really exaggerated the brilliance of Croatia just then. The best midfield in the tournament! Has he not watched Spain. Iniesta, Silva, Isco and Busquets have been brilliant.

Will be about 1/2 odds the draw if not shorter if that is the case
No of course not, but as England fans surely we recognise what we are seeing from this embarrassment of an Argentine side. Good players picked out of position with no tactical plan. Argentina ceded the midfield to a team featuring arguably the best central midfielders in this World Cup. They played three at the back when they do not have wing backs in the squad. Then players freezing under the pressure from back home. Pretty sure I have seen this story in most recent tournaments from England.

Could even go through with a loss since they lost 3-0 Argentinas goal difference is so bad.

I have definitely enjoyed that match the most (apart from our game obviously)
