I thought I heard the same from France... 

You heard it from an American commentator.

[Spike]

I thought the 'G' in Tagliafico was silent because it is an Italian name?

[The Artful Dodger]

Argentina are absolute shit, Mascherano really poor.

[Azeem]

Both are losing possesion cheaply.

[Eco]

Argentina already putting in their best performance in this tournament. 

[Marc]

That's awful from Ineanacho. I rated him when he first hit the scene but can't remember when I last saw him have a good game

[The Artful Dodger]

Yes!

[Stan]

GOAL ARGENTINA!
Lionel Messi. 1-0.

[Spike]

Commentator complimented Mascherano's tackle. No! He shouldn't be complimented or resolving his own mistake.

What a site the Icelandic clap is

VivaBanega

Okay I will stop posting in this topic because I'm behind you guys by at least a few minutes.

It was a great goal all around, but the finish was wonderful. Top left corner, impossible for Uzoho.

[Eco]

God that must feel great for Messi

[DeadLinesman]

Can’t argue with that. Absolute genius.

[Inverted]

Lol who'd've thunk that playing a good midfielder would make it easier to score a goal.

Sampaoli tactical masterclass.

[Fusion]

Greatest athlete of all time.

last 2 games of the season against Arsenal and Spurs he was fairly good.

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

Not sure if he is the greatest athlete but him and Ronaldo are the best ever footballers in my opinion

Lo Celso should be stating still 

[The Artful Dodger]

Need a couple more, at least, because Nigeria will surely score at least one and can't bet against Iceland doing something.

Still think Argentina look ropey.

[Azeem]

This Turkish ref was good in Iran Morocco game a game which had s lot of grassrolling and play acting.

Maradona is still the best of all time for me. Most complete.

Can't say I followed him in context but I've seen him in the old world cup matches they occasionally show on TV here. He was a master.

Mardonna's celebration off his nut.

Great finish, first ouch made it, he's finally arrived
