In fairness the Croations started it with the possible leg breaker in the first half.

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.

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

Myles Anderson. I remember reading that he was potentially the best tackler since Franco Baresi. Mismanaged, could have been a contender etc.

Steve Bruce 0 caps...what the actual f#*k??????

They should mic up the ref and the var official so we can hear exactly what is going on between them, as they do in the rugby. At least that way you can tell if the ref has asked the var official if he has seen any holding in the box etc.

Agreed, but I think Belgium will get a hatfull against these so even a win against Panama and a close defeat to Belgium would see England through. Thats if this ends in a draw.

These guys will go to pieces in the last 15 mins, they will drop deep and England will pick them off with crosses into the box.

You should have know better, he's a flat track bully he will score against the likes of Panama but will disappear after the group stages when they are playing the likes of Germany or Spain.

Only half? I must be getting better.

Apology accepted.

I wasn't speaking about England and I am not the only one who said Tunisia look appalling. I already said England will bury these.

?

Haha yes, but I see what you did there.

You need to get Sterling and Lingaard playing as out and out old fashioned wingers, the keeper couldn't catch a cold bomb crosses in.

Has there been a more inept example of defending in the tournament so far? Every other team have looked organised if a little blunt up front, but these guys are like are like a pub team at the back. Not bad going forward I suppose.

It shouldn't matter much Harry Kane could get the golden boot from this game alone, these guys are comically bad in defense.

Its a stone wall penalty, be reasonable.

Have to feel sorry for the keeper, that's the best save you're going to see in this tournament and it will never be mentioned again.

Italy lost their first game at USA 94 before making a run to the finals and technically not losing in the final as it was decided on penalties.

Who makes the decision there to look at it? If the ref is not interested does that just mean you're screwed or can the var guys pull the ref back and say "you missed something you blind arsehole"?

He single handedly got Argentina to this world cup and he got them to the last finals. There has been non stop crying on this site about the nasty sergio ramos messi has destroyed him. Diego someone's athletico have got to be the toughest team in the champions league. The physicality of the premier league is overstated. Its fast of that there is no doubt but 60 to 70 percent of players in a premier league game are not even British so what does it matter where the league is.

We're all big boys on here you didn't need to edit it. Anyome who doesnt think the Argentina def is shaky needs get glasses.

Yeah i suspect if he only had one review he would have saved it for more of a sure thing.

We will see how Brazil do but it appears European teams are more dominent then before
