FIFA 2018 World Cup Thread

For all their defending that was very indisciplined.

Clear cut.

I’d imagine Ronald is pumping his fist in his hotel room now.

Great save.

Argentina need to build this team around Dybala.

Hasn’t been the best of starts for Barcelona players Suarez, Pique and Messi.

Really poor penalty to give away as Messi had overhit the cross.

Dembele was rubbish today as well, Umtiti gave a daft pelanty away.

Gunnarsson taking the ball off Messi like candy off a baby.

Peno!!

WTF?

That’s what VAR is there for and the referee doesn’t use it. Deary me.

My beloved Pole ref surely should have given another pelanty there.

These Icelanders would die for each other.

Why can’t Ireland replicate what Iceland do? What ever about defensive effort and fight, it’s the composure to pick out a man when they do win it back. Something Ireland just can’t do. Please explain it to me.

Iceland are going to fluke a poxy win out this with a set piece or a deflection, aren’t they? It’s like the whole thing is building up to one big final punchline.

They’ve been defending on their edge of the box the whole second half. They’re pinned in.

They’re hoofing the ball away all game. They’ve completed 100 passes in 80 minutes. This is an Ireland display.

I know mate… Was that not an argument put up around here during the last Euros?

Only heaven knows how Messi has lasted this whole match while a class act like Dybala sits on the bench.
