their manager used to be a dentist, or still is, as well!

Yea that's great and all but I don't go down the pub to be bored stiff talking about molars and braces... Zombie films however will get my attention and probably a free pint... 

Nigeria enjoying themselves today..

Don't know why people see this 'giving Argentina a chance'....Nigeria will batter them.

Probably, but it at the very least keeps Argentina alive on paper. They need to win and hope Iceland don't.

Fuck off Nigeria. With that 1-0 I would have gotten loads of points in the prediction league

less of that.

At least we have a chance mate, besides we always beat Nigeria in the WC, although it's always difficult and i'm not saying that's 100% going to be the case, just a nice stat.

Oi, I wanted them to win, just 1-0 though

Well - Argentina are absolutely fucked. Nigeria will run laps around them. 

[Machado]

Nice solo goal.

The same Morocco that were unlucky against Portugal 

Who gave an open header within 5 minutes to the best goal scorer in European WC History.

I would love it if you got through and had a good tournament, after all this but I don't see it.

Another Nigeria goal would help you, then you'd just need to win and win by more than Iceland to qualify.

Good, let's just hope we can turn things around.

Yeah, another goal would certainly help.

[The Artful Dodger]

Oh dear...Probably going to be a penalty to Iceland.

I never knew that... bet that is going to make for great conversation down the pub in later life... 

He also directed the video of Iceland's entry in Eurovision a few years back, and a Coca-Cola commercial for this World Cup, haha.

[Eco]

That's a penalty.

Also, historically Argentina always beat Nigeria. It´s incredible. Off the top of my head, I can remember them beating Nigeria in 1994, 2002, 2010, 2014. 

What´s the tie breaker if Argentina and Nigeria both finish with 4 points? Goal difference? If so, 2-1 Nigeria would be the best result for Argentina.

[Stan]

Penalty to Iceland. Correct decision to overturn.

And was the better team against Portugal?  Why are you fliping your arguments? Your Ronaldo agenda is becoming more and more clear. 

[Machado]

VAR is good. Clear penalty.

Argentina and Nigeria can't both finish with 4, a draw would put Nigeria at 4 and Argentina at 2 

[The Artful Dodger]

Stupid how long that took. Not enjoying how VAR works so far.

[Berserker]

Fuck, motherfuckers, should have denied Iceland the pen like they did to us against them.

[Berserker]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[bozziovai]
