Argentina goalkeeper screws up their chances with a howler against Croatia.
Argentina have been woeful....such a shame considering how amazing Messi is and how good some of their other players are, but again like England teams of the past those guys just don't work well together.
Argentina are gone! They have been humiliated by Croatia.Quote:

Argentina were woeful. I don't watch a lot of Spanish football but have always felt that Messi was the better player of he and Ronaldo. Now, Ronaldo seems to have adapted better to advancing years and a pretty rank average team of players around him when he's on national duty. Of the two you'd say Messi has the better support but he just seems to be unable to influence a game in the way Ronaldo can.
Argentine humiliation. Only Egypt and Saudi Arabia have had as many or more goals scored against them to this point. Facing elimination by Croatia and Iceland. Incredible. :o :o
I haven't seen Argentina defend so badly since 1982 ;D
Brazil only scraped through with 2 late goals against Costa Rico.
They played almost the entire game on Costa Rica's half of the pitch, though.
Credit to Navas, for keeping it close till the end.
Nigeria drops Iceland and Argentina is still alive.
Unfortunately, Argentina has to play Nigeria next. They'll probably get thumped.
Game changed when Firmino was put in....how does he not start for Brazil?Quote:

Brazil are strong and if they can leave out Firminio and Firnandinio you know they are good.
Well..... Mexico just took down South Korea. Looks like they're moving on, while Germany is about to face Sweden in a do-or-die game.
Obviously, I'm rooting for Sweden. ;D ;D
Sweden 1 nil up and could have scored another 3.
Lets hope they hold it for the 2nd half.
Damn. They have turned it around.:(Quote:

Damn....... the clock didn't move fast enough. The Germans just kept pressuring and pressuring and sure enough...... the Swedes wilted.
Crap!!
Panama getting OBLITERATED by England.
Sshh...Don't jinx us. We could lose the 2nd half.Quote:

I would rest the whole team against Belgium and come second in the group. Easier side of the draw I believe.
Fucking brilliant result. Bit worrying how much we lost our shape second half though. It seems we have a strong starting 11 but the squad is not quite as consistent. Young players that will improve and it was nice to actually get recognition of the blatant fouling in the box with the TV replays. Think he will rest a couple key players against Belgium and it will give our defenders a chance to sort their shit out because Belgium look dangerous. Fortunately for us I think they will rest a couple key players too as this will be the last chance before the knockout stages. Senegal the strongest of the four we could meet look quite beatable. Bring on the Flems.
England and Belgium have the same goal differential. How do they decide who finishes 1st if they tie?
Most goals scoredQuote:

At 5-0 they were always going to take their foot off the gas. Some things they need to work on still.
No ones going to get carried away it’s only been panama and Tunisia but we’ve made hard work of such teams before. There’s definitely a different mood and bond between these players than what we’ve seen in the past.
Sod who we play next. Keep winning and keep momentum.
Quarters a real possibility. After that a bit of luck and a big moment from a player and anything is possible.
But as I said. No one is going to get carried away.....
Spot on with all you say , EXCEPT, that EVERYONE is getting carried away. You obviously aren’t, but..........Quote:
