Amigo :cool:
If anyone has tickets for the Argentina games, I could probably get you a profit.
The Argies to get destroyed.
It might be that I want Argentina to crash out more than I want England to progress so I can lol very briefly at Messi. Not sure if I'm petty enough. I guess I'll soon find out.
Croatia 1, Iceland 2.
Argentina are going to get fucked.
They'll get out of the group no sweat. Nigeria are a mess at the back and Iceland's 2 best players are coming off injuries (and their 3rd best wasn't even called up due to injury), so I think Argentina and Croatia will get through easily.
Kolbeinn Sigþórsson is a good player and everything (when fit) but calling him the third best player for Iceland is dubious.
He didn't play a single game in qualifying and the last game he played for Iceland was in the quarter-finals against France in 2016. He's been a complete non-factor for two years.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's finished as a footballer.
Yeah argentina have too many good players to not perform. Sure they only just qualified but they did qualify, and the World Cup is a massive stage, so everyone in their team will be well up for it.
Argentina are trash. The defence is lol and the attack doesn't work. But yeah, they should come 2nd.
I thought Sampaoli might get them figured out, but they really just don’t seem to work as a team. Bad defence, average midfield, with a couple of great attackers, which in a knockout tournament can often be enough to go a long way.
Do they think they can camouflage themselves or something?
That top is disgusting.
I like it. Its reminds me of those really bad old goalkeeper shirts from many years ago.
The image didn't work.Quote:

Argentina are the most unpredictable team in this tournament but moments of quality from their stars will see them claim top spot but only just. Nigeria rock bottom.
Argentina
Croatia
Iceland
Nigeria
I'm just hoping and praying that Amigo's lot has a massive fist fight against Croatia for second so that my work's sweepstake has some spark into it. The Argies can't chuck this group away surely?
They can and they will.
Predicting our line-up tomorrow:

Ragnar S still going strong. :drool:
Ireally hope Amigo destroys the twats.
Messi and Co are serial chokers now. If Argentina goes out at the knockout stages again, I think he may just end it all.
I don't like Argentina normally but I hope they win about 6-0 in this.Quote:

I think Messi will drop to midfield and act as a playmaker at some point.
He already has surely? You see him picking up the ball in his own half trying to make things happen.Quote:

He probably is playing for balance purposes. Im expecting to see an Argentine Park Ji-Sung.
Isn't it Messi that keeps Dybala out of the team?Quote:

Iceland 3-0 here.
FFS Bjarnasson.
Let's go Iceland.
Maschy is playing? :harold:
Great finish.
Nice goal.
'mon Amigo.
It's genuinely sad that Aguero has spent his whole career at City.
C'mon Iceland 1-1
Gylfi :drool:
All hail the Icelandic Jesus.
:cool:
There's no way Argentina are going anywhere this tournament - the defence is eternally shit.
Fucking Polish commentators were saying it was Sigurdsson when he put that in.
Why? :DQuote:
