    I'd be putting money on Argentina getting through and making the quarters. Even at their worst they are still one of the scariest teams left. They have enough tweaks left to get themselves back on track.

    Lol have either of you actually watched them the last two games? They’re a shambles.

    Are you saying that Argentina can't beat Nigeria? I know they are a shambles, but they still know how to play football underneath all this rubbish. My comment was basically not to write them off.

    First game

    They played a team who parked the bus and they found hard to break down
    Just like France when Australia played them

    V Croatia

    They missed a couple in the first half

    Gave the lead away when Caballero had a moment

    Nearly equalised straight away but the Cro keeper got lucky

    10 to go let another one in after a great strike from outside the box from Modric

    Then imploded in injury time chasing the game to conceed another


    Dont think for a minute that were not in that game the other morning

    They were they got reamed for missing their chances

    These guys deal with criticism on a scale our snow flakes cant fathom

    They be back

    I hereby propose a ban on the good Member for crimes against Griffs greatness.

    Even Hazaed did the Griff celebration after his 2nd goal.

    Hail Griff.

    At no point did I say Argentina can’t get out of their group. I simply said they shouldn’t be feared - this was in response to MFKS thinking France would try to avoid them and would rather play Croatia instead.

    My memory (and that could be wrong) is that Argentina really struggled through qualifying and only made it through on the last match day

    That doesn’t surprise me. Everything I’ve read on them, plus watching both their games is that they simply don’t know what they’re doing. They have zero cohesion, and it’s basically ‘kick it to Messi, and hope he can beat 2-3 players on the edge of the area and curl it in from there.’ Even their coach came out and said he can’t figure out to make them play together. Maybe playing Romero instead of Caballero would have been a good start, and that’s even before his **** up.

    Their defense is a joke and bare minimum for a country with that much talent is that they should be vying with Croatia for top spot, not struggling to squeak through in a group with Iceland & Nigeria.

    Argentina, France, Germany and Brazil all have the players that on their day, could win any/all of their group games 4-0 and nobody would blink an eyelid. They have multiple superstar players.

    Meanwhile the teams with good ethic, tactics and heart are getting results like Russia, Sweden (probably deserved more), Nigeria, Iceland, Japan, and you could probably even add us in there with our performances against decent opposition.

    That’s the beauty of the World Cup I guess, all these players from lesser nations are playing for pride.

    What’s the saying? A champion team will beat a team of champions.

    You get to join me in the pub lamenting the performances of both the teams we were selected and the method behind Pam selecting them.

    I'll be there as well. We almost got out of a very tough group tho, would have been a shock.
