    World Cup 2018

    I think Uruguay could beat either of the two but useless twats Spain aren't going to win the group.

    World Cup 2018

    And then an advantage in the final because the other team will have worn themselves out beating the better sides.

    World Cup 2018

    Russia in the last 16. You've got to laugh at their luck. Probably Croatia in the quarter finals. England or Belgium semi final.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    He's got it in his head this is his last chance with Argentina and at a World Cup and the pressure has got to him combined with the frustration of knowing the team is awful. If he had Coutinho and Neymar on the team (let alone Xavi and Iniesta) he'd be different. He's been carrying mediocrity...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    In modern era CL all that matters sadly and you can't win that without a midfield and a misfiring striker (Suarez). Nobody outside of Spain cares about Copa Del Ray unless it's part of a treble including CL. Even Real get themselves knocked out early. La Liga immediately gets overrided if your...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I think the cumulative awful luck he's had since 2015 combined with everything going for Ronaldo has finally took it out of him. CL final probably the final straw. Rather than firing him up the Ronado hat-trick the day before Iceland only added to the fatalism that the gods are with Ronaldo and...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Nigeria is Leo's last chance to salvage the rest of his career. Potentially his last game at a World Cup at a badly declining Argentina in a tournament Ronaldo is beasting after winning the Euros. He's probably already won his last ballon d'or whereas Ronaldo probably has another 2 or 3 (or at...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Suarez is 31 and plays like he's 41, same with Rooney at 32 and since turning 30. Ronaldo in his 30s has basically adapted his game to goal hang and make the most of set pieces. These are all players with so many miles on the clock. Messi slowing down past 30 has got the problem of declining...

    If Iceland win Argentina need to win by one more goal than they do.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Reality is though Kante, Matuidi, Pogba, Griezmann, Mbappe and Giroud are far better collectively than what Argentina can muster. France have even got far more in reserve. Argentina would kill for N'Zonzi and Tolisso in midfield or Mendy and Sidibe at full back.

    I can't see them being Nigeria without big changes to the team and bench. Sampaoli needs to go and Messi needs to get his head right.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Said that before the tournament. Have to win the group, then can beat Denmark and see from there.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    His head isn't right this tournament. Too weighed down by having to carry a whole team.

    Argentina

    If Messi left they'd probably end up with more of a functioning team as they'd be forced to cut loose the serial losers - use Lo Celso, Pavon, Dybala and maybe Icardi. Lanzini and Romero back. Run more off the ball, get the defence better organised. They shouldn't be as bad as they are.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Enjoyed watching Leo's career, sad to see Ronaldo piss all over him and his legacy since 2015 Copa America choke. Reality is nobody is too bothered about La Liga or Copa Del Ray. Ronaldo has been winning the big prizes and making a huge splash on the big stage (World Cup). Looking like a...

    Luis Suárez

    We can't have a starting striker who can't control a football and has lost his sharpness and pace.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Ronaldo goes missing in most finals, knocks in a Penaldo at some point and steals the headlines (usually after being bailed out by Ramos or Bale).

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Ronaldo is having everything go his way for club and country while Messi's career is sadly petering out with a whimper. The sad thing is Ronaldo has actually declined more as a player but he's just become all about the goals and waiting for service and set pieces in and around the box. As he's...

    Luis Suárez

    The pub player gifted a goal by a pub team. He's found his level.

    Luis Suárez

    If he ends up here for 7 seasons (14-21) and is awful for 4 and a half of of them as Barca's striker (17-21) then he's not a great signing. Compare to what Real have got out of Benzema for 10 years. He had a good 18 months-2 years and has been either shocking or suspended for the rest of it...
