The confidence Franco Armani has given this defence is immense. With Caballero, everytime a ball was kicked up into the box, it was a dangerous chance because of something stupid that Willy did. Armani is showing he's a proper keeper that is up to the task. Not been threatened yet but his organization of the backline is much better. No coincidence if you ask me.

Iceland should be ahead.

Croatia getting a couple of very good blocks in but Iceland have to do better there.

This. Otamendi and Rojo look so confident. Rojo putting in a better shift he ever had with United. 

Argentina are moving the ball a lot better but still struggle in the final third. Do they sacrafice a midfielder for another attacker?

Di Maria off for Pavon. Its the most logical thing to do.

Watching Messi in the replay for that goal was poetry in motion... great little touches and superb ball control. 

[God is Haaland]

I hope Argentina can pull this off. England - Argentina needs to happen. I have half a GB of ready for this.

[Stan]

  

as the camera was on Messi just then with the team, the BBC commentator just said 'and there's the manager of the Argentina team, sorry, there's Lionel Messi', so sheepishly  

 

[Stan]

Penalty Nigeria!!!!

If Argentina get out of this alive, Mascherano and Di Maria has to be dropped.

[The Artful Dodger]

Mascherano at fault again.

[Stan]

Looked soft but one of those 'why do you give the referee a decision to make'. He's pulled him down but I've seen worse not given (even in this tournament).

[Panna King]

Troost-Ekong  another Dutch born player in this World Cup.

[Dalmore]

Very harsh decision in my opinion. Let's see what AFA can do now. If they want to go through they must prove they deserve it. 

[Stan]

That's a very calm penalty. Nicely done by Moses.

1-1!

Yeah Masch has been very poor tonight in almost everything he has done.

 

It was a soft penalty decision though for me.

[Inverted]

Honestly don't get how people can criticise Messi when he's surrounded by these bums.

[Eco]

Masherano is outdated. He's need to retire. 

[Panna King]

Argentina might as well go home, they will get hammered by a decent team again with this defence. 

[Stan]

Di Maria man ffs

[Stan]

Badelj scores for Croatia!!
