World Cup: Group D: Argentina vs. Iceland, 6/16/2018

[Wee Baby Seamus]

This Iceland team is so much fun

 

[robertmac43]

14 shots between both teams 30 mins in, thats what I like to see

 

[Suiteness]

How does Iceland have 7 shots on 27% possession?!?

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

That was a Rory Delap like throw-in..

There was that one burst early on, but yeah I Didnt believe it either

 

[GKJ]

Ref should get a card

 

[The Hound]

Argentina has so many options, especially with Dybala and Higuaín on the bench. I’d be shocked if they don’t win. Iceland play with such passion and hope though, very fun to watch.

 

[TP]

Just decided, since Italy and the US is out, I am rooting for Iceland to win it all.

 

[McCoy]

Iceland fightings Argentina in war game.

 

[robertmac43]

Aguero's first touch has let him down a couple of times thus far, uncharacteristic of him to say the least

 

[TP]

Good call again. So far so good in regards to the reffing.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Argentinians angrily surrounding the referee while wildly gesticulating and ranting is one of the World Cup's eternal certainties.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Less than 60% pass rate for Iceland

 

[TP]

ohhhhhh so close.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Caballero is not very good.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Passing stats: Argentina 333, Iceland 74.
Haha..

 

[Make]

Iceland has some good target guys in the box. Basically every time they get to ARG zone something exciting happens.

 

[KrejciMVP]

decent half for both teams

 

[GKJ]

When they get there, everyone believes.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Good game so far.

Let’s al applause Iceland for playing negative football though.

For Argentina Meza and Biglia are useless. Rojo making me fkn nervous. Same for Caballero. Mascherano still a boss. He’s in great form.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Iceland has been impressive. That Argentine RW is a black hole.

 

[MXD]

ARG's defensive block is very... interesting.

 

[robertmac43]

What do they feed Gilfi when he is playing for Iceland? Everton need to steal the meal plan

 

[QuietContrarian]

Lol, I have a sneaky feeling Iceland wins today, and gets out of the group.

They are not very skilled, but they are cynical and they fight 110% for each other in all situations.

You can bet all 10 field players will backtrack when needed unlike certain superstar studded teams.

 

[NyQuil]

Argentina with more possession but pretty equal in terms of dangerous scoring chances.

They don't look as confident in their own half.
