Sampaoli is effectively on gardening leave. Certainly dresses like he is.

A midfield that actually does the job of a midfield!

He's just class. Everything he does.

Was it actually him that played the great pass to Messi? I missed the replays.

Yes - and the pass that led to the free kick from where Messi hit the post.

The only worry is that we'd have 4 center mids who would expect to start.

Not sure that's positive for squad balance.

You're reading my mind Ricky. I'm so done with midfielders who can't play in both directions.

Yep, it was him. 25-meter pass right on the foot (or thigh, as it were)!

I don't think anyone aside from Ramsey and Banega have the right to expect a start.

Mirth

I knew Mascherano would let them down. Complete idiot.

Sure, its just a comment on the inconsistency of standards. I think it's the right call here, wish it was applied across the tournament

Croatia score against Iceland.

It wasn't a harsh penalty - players have been warned about it, they've seen what's happened in other games.
Mascherano is just thick.
