Kowabunga 313 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The color commentator in the Nigeria-Croatia fixture have just told the "Fabril" (the "b" side of Deportivo de la Coruña) has two players in the world cup (Francis Uzoho and Ismael Díaz). Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Croatia bit like Argentina, very obviously trying to play through one man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor 1,457 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Growing up in the 90s I got used to a Nigeria side that played beautiful football. Finidi, Kanu, Okocha... Since then, part of me always expect that kind of football from Nigeria and I´m always disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Nigeria have been abysmal, in fact in this half they've had more of the play. Maybe to be expected but Croatia have been very disappointing.

Inverted 1,776 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Moses is such a weird winger. Not quite defensively good enough that you would want him stuck around your own box too long; not creative enough to be much use around the opposition box. Credit to Conte for managing to find a role that got a good season out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted June 16, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2018 Disappointed with Nigeria. Expected more of them even when they were losing, to at least chase the game or provide some threat to Croatia. Then you go and give the most stupid penalty away right in front of the ref. On a par with what Umtiti did as well in the other group earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Messi had a good first half imo. But fuck me he bottles big penalty moments. Give them to Aguero or Higuain. After the pen he was useless, trying to do too much to attone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am reading this morning that Messi is 'Angry' with Icelands tactics against them after claiming they did nothing but defend and attack with long throw ins.. Funny that, apart from some throw in's they also scored a goal and saved a penalty... A couple of major contributing factors to the end result I thought...
