WOW! One more Nigeria!

Nigeria are getting in decent position but are making the worst decisions on the final third. Shooting when they should pass and passing when they must shoot.

Most of us here are Barça fans so we all love him but I must say, some of the characteristics (laziness & lack of motivation) he displays on field are things I’d be extremely critical of any player especially a top (generational) player like Messi. Before the Croatia match I was expecting him...

After the two Copa America disasters they should’ve been able to incorporate players like Dybala, Icardi, Paredes, and Lo Celso into the squad but nope, they stuck with the old guard.

This sort of half sorts of makes you understand why Argentines aren’t the biggest fan of him. At least give the impression that you’re trying ffs, open it up for other players then maybe they’ll find space.

How does Dybala not get in this side? Sampoli is pathetic, this game is literally crying out for someone no name Messi who can play the ball with their feet. At least against Iceland it was Messi playing below his standard and being unlucky. This match he’s not getting the ball at all due to...

Are they only playing with one true centre back? He cannot believe that will actually work.

It didn’t do much for Ronaldo in 2014 while Argentina made the final. The thing is we live in a ‘what have you done lately’ world so it would hurt for a bit but I believe Messi would carry on.

This Portugal side is only helping Ronaldo’s case, they are terrible.

He wasn't good today but the thing that bothers me the most is I don't know whether he'll be up for it when they face Croatia and Nigeria. The moment of "Messi magic" we were so use to every single match appears to be diminish fast. Of course in 3 out of every 5 matches he's unplayable but...

Argentina is the only NT who would neglect the 3rd possibly 2nd most talented player.

Agree 100%. Di Maria only works if you’ve got a striker with decent height, he’s useless aside from that. For Sampoli, the Dybala cannot play with Messi arguments are somewhat valid but in the 90 minutes he’s got to find a way to get him on the pitch. His tatics aren’t working anyways so...

Mascherno has been great in the 2nd

It’s funny how his match currently is the complete opposite of Ronaldo’s yesterday. Ronaldo proably had the most km ran while Messi is walking all over the pitch. Ronaldo makes pen, Messi misses. Ronaldo’s hyping teammates up and Messi has his head down most the time.

Terrible placement No Power

Its come to the point now, the sole reason I don't like him is that he rivals Messi and he may arguably better. For as great as Messi is, his footballing skill leap on Ronaldo is much lower than the intangible leap Ronaldo has on him. In a matter of three years, he's basically countered most of...

Although unfair, there’s really no lie to that. Iceland is a team they must beat convincingly. Nigeria and Croatia won’t be pushovers neither.

Better than Ronaldo but not exactly good at them. It’s only been last season where I’d call Messi a great FK taker.

Before the past season, hasn’t that always been the case?

Worst player on the pitch tonight.
