I think we could all learn about patience from this ref. He doesn't seem like anything phases him. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Argentina are going to get pummled.

[Eco]

NIGERIA. Stan's Motherland has scored!

[Bluewolf]

Well taken considering all the crap going on before it... 

Now the desperation diving starts from Argentina.. We need to see at least one major shock in the groups...

I'm cautious today. Qualification on the line and Argentina have Messi who could score a last minute winner and break hearts. Holding out for the final whistle already  

[Stan]

Iceland hit the bar! They're missing so many chances.

[Eco]

Nigeria are already looking better since the goal. 

Argentina are getting thuggish. 

[Marc]

Softer than some but still a foul. Good to see refs clamping down on holing in the box, the refs have obviously been told to watch it so why do people keep doing it.

Argentina needs substitutions. This is where Sampaoli can win or lose the game.

Pavón/Dybala for Di María and Lo Celso for Pérez is what I´d do.

[Machado]

This fucking group !

I'm watching too. Croacia's second keeper has been enormous.

[DeadLinesman]

Jermaine Jenas is like a cancer to my ears. So full of shit.

[Stan]

Mascherano is having a shocker  

[Spike]

Mascherano is sooooo bad

[Marc]

He's awful. Thought he was going to foul Musa then

[Stan]

Finally Pavon makes an appearance. Should have started. Not sure what Perez has done this game.

[Eco]

Javier is a disgrace to Argentina with this performance. Unreal that he is even able to make this team anymore. 

[Spike]

WHY IS THIS COMMENTARY SO BAD

He just said Perez and Pavon is like for like

I've said it before but in other South American countries, playing in a country like China or in the middle east is something that is frowned upon. For some reason, the Argentinians and Brazilians let it slide. Colombia and Peru have both expressed that they will not call up players in those leagues. I think they should take from example. Guarin is a perfect example. As is Jackson Martinez.

[Panna King]

Where is Iwobi!

[ScoRoss]

Any talk of this 'much improved' defence is laughable. Nigeria are just running past them but lack the quality to do anything with it.

They were a lot better in the first half, also that Armani hasn't really been threatened.

first half they were good to be fair. Nigeria came out with more urgency and Argentina couldn't hack it.
