Sure. Hit me. What's on the table? :messi:

Mario kempes was on the beach sipping margaritas in 86. Though the point still stands. Maradonna didn't do it alone. It's a team game and no one does it alone. He had a fantastic tournament. His hand of god wouldn't stand today though.

So, a draw? Iceland is a team but lower individual quality and Croatia is the opposite. No seriously, I can't see Argentina win if they put the same performance as today. Sure, Messi goes god mode or Aguero bags in 3 goals and they beat you. Slim chances that happens though.

Just individual quality and its enough to take advantage of that defence. I get it that you can be more than that, but just look at the chances that Iceland got. It's like they faced a team of Van Bastens and brazilian Ronaldo's. Headless chickens every one. Maybe Messi will have less harder...

Looks like a free kick. He has such an accurate shot with his laces and yet still does this soft kick.

You also attack better than iceland and against that defense if you don't score at least 2 goals you have done something wrong. The only one who gets a pass is Otamendi and even then, it's a stretch.

Still missed many more by trying to be cute. By now it's clear that he can't place the ball to save his life from the spot. If he hits it hard at least there's less time for the keeper or he can't handle it as easy. One thing is having to punch a soft ball, another is when a canon ball comes...

I don't know why he doesn't just smash the ever living shit of the ball when he shots a penalty. He always tries to be cute with it. He doesn't hit in the corner also. Just a bit left or right of the keeper. At least with a powerful hit you don't give time to the keeper to save it. All around poor.

Luft had a mare there. There are some individuals with a lot of issues who can use a break from the forums. The mods are sleeping like usual.

All on him. Can t use any excuse this time.

With that defence they would concede at every opportunity.

I'd send Biglia home right now. No need to keep a bench spot occupied. Messi's bags have more value than him.

Amateur defending. It's like I and 3 other guys from the block.

No arguments there. In fact almost all that back-line is stinking up the place. Maybe Otamendi was decent but that's about it. I'd try to bring on Banega and Higuain and play something like this: Back four 3 mids Messi Higuain and Aguero upfront Their wide players can't do anything anyway...

Their fullbacks are also pretty poor. They don's offer anything going forward. If I think more about it, aside from Messi and Aguero, none of the guys out there would even come close to starting for one of the other favorites. There's also Dybala on the bench. Rest are the definition of mediocre.

Biglia and Mascherano are their midfield. Let that sink in.

Iceland had 25% of the ball, yet had the better chances. Argentina defenders can't even check them 2 on 1. They are that bad.

Comical defending from Argentina. Utter trash

Pre- WC warm-up matches hardly show anything. Players mostly want to escape injury free. Germany barely beat the Saudi 2-1 a week ago. The Saudis were steamrolled by Russia. Iceland will give everything and then some. Will die on the pitch with Argentina's players in their mouth.

Yeah, low-key throwing Mats in there as if last season wasn't on par with the best in the world. Btw, there's no keeper in the world who doesn't make mistakes. Case in point De Gea last night. It's a difficult position and their errors always stand out a lot more than a mid or forward. Hell...
