World Cup 2018

[Blaugrana Bull]

Finish was incredible but that pass man. Smooth as hell. Banega with more creativity than the whole team in the first two matches.

How good was that ball over the top.

Huh, would you look at that? Finally he gets an elite ball going forward and he scores. Shocker I know.

He did do a run and he did play more advanced there going for it instead of playing retreated and asking ball to feet.

This is more a Cristiano Ronaldo type of goal. Run on good service, then killer shot with the weaker foot.

 

[TitoTata]

I recognise this ref !!!

Pretty sure he's completely inept !!

Finally, he was the one at the end of the pass not the one who created it.

Works both ways. Half the folk on this forum claim such runs are pointless as no one can find him.

He made those last second runs all the time against Croatia and Iceland. If anything, that was the kind of movements he was trying most. Di Maria and Mascherano constantly failed to see him or find him.

Need more goals to be secure.. Don't let up

 

[shadows]

Finally some one who can create from midfield.. Now if Argentina goes on to win, the likes of Enzo Perez,Di Maria etc will never get dropped..

No he didnt.

He is playing in different areas tonight.

Messi and the team are playing better so far.

I didn't see it vs Croatia at all. He was mostly lethargic. Vs Iceland he was more active, but was too loose with his finishing. This game seems to be somewhat active with pinpoint accurate shooting. It helps that he's playing more wide and closer to the 16m box.

He was and was not making those runs nor against Iceland where there was not the space to.

Messi is playing better and so is team. Hopefully keeps up.

Guess Banega failed to do so for 40 minutes of the Iceland game too. Or was that Banega not getting enough ball to his feet. Anybody but Leo's fault it seems.

Mascherano I'm sorry buddy but you are past it.

I’d play dybala over Di Maria
