hmmmm

 

[King 88]

f*** Higuain and Dybala release the Pavon!

 

[robertmac43]

How has Messi looked in Barcelona lately? He looks like he's tired of this **** and would like to do anything besides football. Slow and unmotivated

that seems a little extreme. Hard to look enthused when you are up 14 points in your domestic league

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

And again..is VAR consulted here? Yes, no?

 

[TP]

Great D! Men of the match!

Good question. Seemed way to fast to have been reviewed.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I understand and respect the way Iceland defends, but Sampaoli needs to make changes the rest of the way. There’s no reason why exciting young players like Lo Celso, Pavón and Dybala shouldn’t be playing

 

[robertmac43]

Get Meza off the pitch already

 

[Shrimper]

I just want another goal for monetary reasons

Good question. Seemed way to fast to have been reviewed.

And yet I've seen those given. It's really confusing to me how and when they're using VAR in these situations. Either use it in all penalty shouts or none..

What’s the difference between this contact and France’s penalty that was decided by VAR today? Minimal contact on both but one was decided a penalty.

Di Maria was crap today. Start me Pavon next game.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I'm primarily interested - was VAR consulted in this call?

Nope. The ref didn't make a gesture suggesting he's in contact with the VAR.
Should've been a pk, tbf..

I think Iceland is doing a really a great job crowding him, and generally being very aggressive.

 

[Name Nameless]

Given the Ref has decided the Argentinians are just diving anyway, they should really try to stay on their feet.

I missed that game. Need to watch it later.

 

[GKJ]

Just barely missed again

Exactly my thoughts about the contact.

Pavon has looked fresh.

 

[The Hound]

Awful start for Messi’s WC so far

 

[Luigi Habs]

Higuain coming in. No Dybala.

 

[Make]

The tight passing and forcing through the middle does not seem to be working for Messi.

 

[Eisen]

I don't get it when a team tries to carry the ball in the box against a tight, low defense like Iceland. The shot from the outside is an option.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Argentina should score here as Iceland are clearly done here physically. Don't think they're used to 'summer football'.

 

[TP]

The tight passing and forcing through the middle does not seem to be working for Messi.

Seems to me that all he needs to do is draw 3 or 4 guys and that should open it up for someone to tap it in.

 

[TP]

What a save!!!!!

 

[KrejciMVP]

Hang in there Iceland
