BlaqOptic Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It's either going to take some excellent interplay or a ball over the top for Argentina to score. Just too many bodies in the box for Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Aguero has been very good despite having very little of the ball. Hes held up the ball well and his little layoffs to Messi have been the most dangerous thing Argentina have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Maria is pretty good but I think Bernardo isnt too far behind. I'd take Portugal's backline all day long. Keeper is definitely advantage Portugal. I guess they're pretty even but this just feels like even more of a one man show. You're right about the club vs country thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguero chose Messi to be his son's godfather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their combination today is probably the only bright spot for Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 VAR penalty? Surely as much as the Australian one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAW Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Argentina has a better roster than Portugal. Portugal plays better as a team. Cristiano makes a huge difference. Argentina, like France, doesn’t play like 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqOptic Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Doesn't he have to call something there? Either a penalty or at least a yellow for simulation if he doesn't think it's a penalty right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 That ball from Mascherano to Messi is exactly what Argentina miss. That was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really weak contact and didnt really do anything, Pavon was doing nothing with that ball. I'd be furious if I had that call go against me.

LeeEvans Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Pavon should start next March. Hes been positive and runs at defenders, he offers more than just someone who plays a square ball to Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
