Argentine Malady: Group D Deciders

[Bored Of Education]

Did the BBC say, "Ronaldo, Kane and now Messi - all the big guns are firing." after the goal?

[Jah Womble]

...and Neymar. All now having scored.

[anton pulisov]

Nigeria only need the one goal

[Levin]

Is it ok to get a team mate to push people over in the wall then?

[tee rex]

The -ic scratch team has not been impressive. (And nor was that joke, sorry).

Iceland have had half a dozen set piece chances, including our old friend the long throw (one from 30m). They have real hope here.

[Satchmo Distel]

Nigeria should have had a penalty for the high boot against the head, I thought, especially as it was preceded by some holding.

Croatia 'B' looked better than Iceland in the bits I peaked on the second channel.

Sampaoli sitting on the bench while Messi leads the team talk in the tunnel,arrogant pricks forget it was them on the pitch against Iceland and Croatia

[Wouter D]

Croatia looked better for the first half hour, but Iceland had some tasty chances in the last fifteen.

It's pretty neat that both teams that would currently not qualify for the next round, can both change that by scoring a single goal.

[Third rate Leszno]

Oooh. Now then.

[Gerontophile]

Pytanel!

[SouthdownRebel]

Time to see how well suited Argentina's new keeper is then...

[Bored Of Education]

Argentina a good deal better, but still look only a duff ball from Mascherano away from a potential disaster.

....or hand.

[elguapo4]

Prayers get answered very quick sometimes

[Sean of the Shed]

VICTOR!

[Jah Womble]

Well, it wasn't a 'duff ball', but I was right in every other respect...

[SouthdownRebel]

#underthebar

[longeared]

Mascherano appears to have activated "West Ham Mode".

[Bored Of Education]

...and Neymar. All now having scored.

Oh yeah.

[Sean of the Shed]

Not sure how Mascerano can complain about that. Even if he didn't actually pull the player down he shouldn't be putting his arm around him like that.

[Mr Cogito]

Nigeria should have had a penalty for the high boot against the head, I thought, especially as it was preceded by some holding.

Croatia 'B' looked better than Iceland in the bits I peaked on the second channel.

I thought it had to be a penalty, contact or not. And did I hear the commentator say that it is the ref who sent Nani off in the CL match against Real Madrid? TAB to thread...

[Wouter D]

Well, that went South really fast.

[SouthdownRebel]

Messi back into walking slowly around mode

[anton pulisov]

It's almost like Mascherano is not a defender

[blameless]

What exactly is the point of Angel Di Maria?

[anton pulisov]

Agneta Fältskog is an Argentina fan. Who knew...
