David W Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Croatia absolutely cruised it against Nigeria, and they cruised it again tonight. Class team, who the so called "big guns" will want to avoid in the knock-out stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Argentina literally just gave up defending after the second goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s not. Caballero and Romero are better goalkeepers, who have played at a far higher level than Speroni. Picking some Crystal Palace jobber over either of them would be ridiculous.

I've yet to see him put in a single solid performance. Caballero wouldn't get a game for Scotland IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of the post was clearly you trying to white knight a former Dee, despite the fact that he’s well below the level of the ‘jobber’ that played tonight, regardless of a bad mistake. Scotland are lucky to have a few good options in nets, so you might be right about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I gather that Rebic I think it was who opened the scoring for a them should have been sent off before that for a horrendous tackle, but survived even a VAR review. If he had been sent off I wonder how events would have differed. Well he wouldn't have scored for a start!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got my first choice pick of Brazil to go at least, with Spain as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 First half Argentina were poor and left massive spaces in defence. Croatia just went for them after the break with a strong midfield performance. Argentina really are a fucking mess. I'm not one for Ronaldo vs Messi but this was a good illustration of a top player being adapted for their country. Ronaldo plays for a workman like national team he digs in and drags them through matches and the team play to this. Argentina do f**k all coherent and give it to Messi expecting miracles, it's never going to work. For f**k sake scotland are a better organised team and that's saying something.

banana Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Messi hasn't been carried by teams of superstars around him, though. He's the GOAT byraway. He'd win the Champions League with Stoke, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Argentina ended up playing five attackers and five crap defenders and just asked Croatia to give them a doing. Their only plan was give it to Messi or Aguero and hope for the best. Having a keeper like Caballero didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullard Bluteau Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Although born and brought up in Rosario, Messi has spent the majority of his life in Barcelona and sounds like a Spaniard (a dim one as well) when he speaks, which antagonises many Argentines as they feel he doesn't try as hard for his country as he does for his club. Where have we heard that before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
