Higuains was the most embarassing miss, and the worst, but it feels like no one remembers that Messi had a clear cut chance to put Argentina ahead as well.

Yeah i also didnt remember it, just saw it last week when I watched the hightlights. Higuain, Messi and Palacio had top chances to score.

Messi had played a good WC final, he destroyed Hummels several times but he wasnt nowhere near his best. I think with 2015 Messi argentinia would have won. Di Maria was also injured and he was with Messi the best player in that team. By the way argentinia had to play 120 min against holland while Germany only played one half against Brazil and i think argentinia had also one day less to recover. Unfair as fuck.

Argentina were gassed. Could just about defend enough but going forward couldn't muster the energy even though there were 2 easy chances and one very good chance for messi there was no creation and those chances were: defending mistake (Higuain), long ball Palacio and Messi's was relatively early on so they still had some energy. If only Eder was Argentinian :(

What a game from him. This will shut up the haters, saying he only scores against the likes of Nagorno-Karabakh and Vatican City.

I was looking at the line-ups, why was Ronaldo played as number 9 against Croatia?
He was never that good as a lone striker, just because he drifts centrally doesnt make him a player who really operates in the middle.
2nd striker or wide-forward, thats the rule, you dont play him as a lone number 9.
