Messi is fucking losing it. 

[Stan]

why the fuck is the ref blowing up then?!!
 

Croatia carried on, Argentina carried on.

Then when Argentina attack he blows the whistle!? WTF?

That penalty miss is going to prove very costly. They'll go out now.

[Danny]

Refs outside of England are really shit for stopping play when they shouldn't. Not a head injury, let him play act

[God is Haaland]

[Stan]

if Argentina get a penalty, who takes it....

[Eco]

Ref has no control over this match. 

[Stan]

what a goal that is from Modric.

[Panna King]

Yesssssssss Modric 😁. 

[Azeem]

Lights out Argentina

[Stan]

Quality from Modric. thought the chance to shoot had gone first time he cut back but he's belted that in to the corner. 

What a player.

[Machado]

What a fucking player.

[Marc]

MODRICCCCCCC 

[El Profesor]

Great goal by Modric. 

[Cicero]

Quality finish to be fair 

[Eco]

Fucking hell. Modric what a fucking shot. 

[DeadLinesman]

Oh dear 

[Chaaay AFC]

What a goal. Modric and Rakitic have been sensational.

[Azeem]

There's absolutely no joy in anything Argentina do, the verve, the intensity Sampaoli was known for. It's like everything is a chore for them. Haven't seen a team look so obviously stressed since Brazil in 2014. 

[Bluewolf]

Boom!!! 

Game over... 

[Eco]

That is unreal, the skill, talent, strike, and movement. Such beautiful. 

Who's Messi?

I'll give my full thoughts on this game later, I've been watching without talking after my disappointment from earlier.

Preliminary thoughts, its a terrible game tactically from both teams. Besides Croatia's pressing which has been good, offensively both teams have too much individuality. I see the likes of Pavon, Messi, Rakitic going forward with no support. No overlapping or underlapping players, no players tracking up to go and join the attack, etc. Its extremely low quality. I'm tipping Denmark or France to beat either of these 2 teams.
