A couple of little breaks is all he needed says ronnieā¦ he pinballed it into the goal, bouncing off shins and kness and heads of Croatian players

Croatia completely out of their depth here. Thatās what can happen in a tournament structure when a team can make it to the semi final winning just 1 of their 5 matches and that against the might of Canada.
The Dutch came back from here. Well within the Croats ability
Luis Suarez esque that was

They lack punch up front, theyve the best midfield in the tournament and the top cb, theyre not set up to chase a game really.
Great save Livakovic
Would have been curtains there
Thatās the kind of goal I remember from the schoolyard.

That was a calamitous attempted hack at the ball for the Alvarez goal.

Tim Vickery made the point that in 2019 Lionel Messi made a conscious decision that if he was going to remain playing international football, he had to change his approach away from being stand offish into an inspirational leader who talked and talked and talked. He has done that. And Argentina have reverted to the best Argentine traditions of shithousery. This is a gloriously Argentine team with a gloriously hard edge.
