Ronaldo would have scored...

Big let off there, come on Iceland

 

[tiger666]

Was a poor penalty

 

[ernie78]

Wow ?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

That time when the TV broadcast cut to Maradona right after he did a line...

Messi's always been a bit unreliable with penalties.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Looooooooool

[Nerine]

Shit pen to be fair.

For some reason I didn't think he'd score. Weird.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Good coach who hasn't had enough time with the team and won't be able to sort out a defence far too ropey to be able to win a World Cup.

I think he'd also prefer working with a good energetic collective, than this Messi-centric collection of ill-matched and ageing bunch.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Give Gylfi a free kick opportunity..

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Oh I absolutely agree. I just think that both Portugal and Argentina both tried to play mainly through their ‘main men’, and was trying to articulate why I think this works better for Portugal than Argentina

I get ya. Ronaldo can also play that central fulcrum type role, but I much prefer Messi as a wide right forward, drifting around.

Aguero has a better conversion rate despite not being prolific from the spot.

A couple of minutes later the ITV commentator said Argentina couldn’t get through the 2 thick white lines of Iceland

 

[glacierSpurs]

Omg, a clear penalty imo..

 

[tiger666]

Stonewall pen

 

[teok]

Omg, a clear penalty imo..

No var?

 

[hughy]

That's a far more obvious pen than the French one. So why no VAR?


It makes no sense!

 

[werty]

Messi needs to do that more. Can't have a No.10 who doesn't make runs in behind.

Too many grey areas for this to be something that is used so often. If you the fan can't understand then how can the official.
