World Cup 2018

He didn't have those blunders that led to a goal but remember a lot of random incidents of him having brainfarts and errors.

Not that many but all keepers do have some especially if asked to play like Mats.

Anyone here that still believes Di Maria should start over Pavon? You cannot hope for Di Maria to do something he's capable of doing once in a blue moon. He's a liability otherwise.

 

[Neymessi]

Iceland have done nothing.

This is just on Argentina not stepping up when needed.

Argentina were trying their best, iceland stopped them with good defending. Defnitely not iceland being mediocre and argie chocking.

 

[Morten]

Idk what anyone still sees in Di Maria, on the very top level, he has been non-existent for years, he is done.

 

[DonAK]

I don't think people should shit on Iceland. They held Portugal to a draw in 2016 and beat England too. They're ruthless, combative football team that most teams will struggle to break through.

With all due respect to Nigeria and Croatia, their defence isn't like that. They have different strengths, but if they defend deep like this they won't hold up like Iceland.

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

I wouldn't get cheeky. These types of players don't often have two bad games in a row. Most of his teammates will feel the need to step up too. For many of them it's their last shot while they're in their prime.

Another Barca player that played like shit after Pique, Umtiti, Dembele and Suarez. Rakitic next.

LOL ur actually right. Hahaha hopefully it doesn't go on

Where was Dybala?

Iceland just do what they have to do, cant expect tiki taka and skills with a squad like that, they keep qualifying for tournaments when they shouldnt even be close, creds to them for making the most out of what they have.

I think Argentina actually played very well, lots of chances and good play. If they keep this up they can have a word against top teams. Messi wasn't at his best today tho.

They're not even bad technically. Had several nice combinations. Technically they're actually quite good and very underrated. When people see Iceland all they think is some blonde long haired men lumping the ball forward, but it isn't exactly like that. They've proven it again and again and again.

 

[DonAndres]

Iceland were anything but mediocre today. Closed down at the back as well as any defensive side I've ever seen. Very disciplined performance, lots of hustle.

Argentina should've done better, and by god Sampaoli's lineup is fucking terrible. Biglia?? Di Maria?? No business playing for the NT. If Lo Celso doesn't start the next match it's over for them.

 

[Neymessi]

Fair enough but I don't think neuer makes a lot of mistakes but then you can say he is experienced etc etc.

Remember a lot of incidents where he passed to busquets and busquets luckily got to the ball in the nick of time before the striker etc etc. and did not lead to goals.

 

[DennyCrane]

10/10 anti-football by Iceland. That feeling when you park the bus worse than every Mourinho side ever but get a pass anyway because the country's so cute.

Iceland had decent shape but Argentina fluffed their lines and should do much better than that.

Wouldnt be surprised if Iceland dont get another point.

Is harsh to say did nothing though.
