Messi can't be bad 3 games in a row. Has he ever had 3 awful games in a row?! Surely the Argies will step up, but would be brilliant if they didn't.

Lionel Musa to cause them all sorts of problems.

He has, but not recently.

Well, I thought since he asked three times, we might have to answer three times!

Also @Berserker is it the majority or just a vocal minority that feel that Messi is 'pecho frío'?

A minority, 10 years back it was the majority.

I would have thought the ´retirement´would have reignited that feeling.

I thought he was decent against Iceland tbf.

Argentina with the revolutionary tactic of playinga midfielder who can actually control a game and pass the ball to the front three.

So, if you had to chose to watch only one of these games? Which do you chose? 

Argentina vs Nigeria for me.

Messi vs 3 Leicester players is what it really boils down to.

Why is there a guy holding Maradona around the waist? Is Diego already wasted and unable to stand up on his own?

What are the chances he outlives Pele despite being 20 years younger?

I like Argentina having a front three numbered 11-9-10. Lovely stuff.

Just read on Twitter and I thought this was interesting: 

In the Argentina starting XI only Rojo and Tagliafico are under 30. 

Contrast to Nigeria who have the youngest squad of all teams.

@Berserker how do you feel about Armani starting?

I think today he will show the world why he's the most underrated keeper in world football.

[Azeem]

Why are all teams kicking off with one player ? Have rules changed ?

This is something I've wondered for a while but never have bothered to ask - didn't want to sound ignorant

It's nothing special. I spent two days in Rostov and wasn't impressed. Surprised they got some of the matches there.

So many over hit balls already, maybe nerves but don't see any turn around here from Argentina. Maybe a scraped win and then embarrassment in the last 16.

Don't see France embarrassing them unless a miracle happens.

Musa and Moses are the same name.
