World Cup 2018

[Norbert Rassragr]

I would be happy if Rovers signed a couple of the Peruvian players, not that we can afford them. They've done well against the 'better' teams and seemed to have a lot of pace and heart.

And how bad is the defending in the Argentina vs. Croatia game?

And yet still nobody can score. Did Spain and Portugal use up most of the group stage's quota or something?

I heard a rumour that Donkey Murphy is on the BBC stream. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Different groups DE, but it is a mad game tonight. Awful defending, worse finishing and some really bad fouls. Iceland may have a chance for qualification.

[Norbert Rassragr]

I meant for all groups tbf, but at the very least this one has been quite entertaining. Croatia would be happy with a draw I think. Argentina would obviously much prefer a win, although even if they draw they should still qualify.

Argentina look rancid so far

[AdamRochina]

Oh dear oh dear willy 

[Norbert Rassragr]

Whoops! Goalie muffed it for the Argies in an epic cock up.

The Argies may be looking at the exit doors now. They are rancid.

Is he really the best they have in goal? Deary me. What a plonker.

Isn't it great when the keeper can play out from the back...

[davulsukur]

There are some terrible goal keepers about.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Maybe Jason Steele has an Argentine grandad.

[DE.]

This has to be up there with some of the worst Argentina sides of all time? Ironic that it comes during a period when they have one of if not the best player in the world at their disposal.

[Blow-in]

Surely to God this Argentina team should be doing better then this. I know people are saying the def is not great but they are not losing games 4:3.

They have about 500 million of attacking talent between Messi/Aguero/Higuan/DiMaria/Dybala any coach that can't get goals from that should be dragged into the street and shot.

To be fair they wouldn't be in the finals without Messi

[Admiral Nelsen]

Not surprising given they have Modric & Rakatic, but Croatia look capable of giving anyone a game.

Think the eariest that they can play England is the semis fortunately.

[Audax]

GOAL

MODRIC

THAT WAS LOVELY

2-0 Yeah, love seeing that..... unbelievable that one was going against the odds if one picked Croatia.....

Bye bye Messi? It is 2-0. 

[bob fleming]

Goal. Game over.

[DE.]

Wow. I do not want to come up against Croatia.

[Norbert Rassragr]

 

[Husky]

Croatia dark horses.
