Genuinely baffling how shit this Argentina side is. Same with their manager, played extremely exciting stuff with Chile and Sevilla and now this horseshit

Sampaoli has the look of a nightclub bouncer.

Thought the tactical steup/formations are interesting. Sampaoli over reaching and Croatia knowingly reacting to Argentina's lack of a midfield.

We've seen a number of good chances (unfortunately missed) that have been a result of both team playing to their strengths.

Also though the ref has got the game spot on and let them play, as both teams are playing with an edge that isn't over the top but aggressive.

Plus....Modric is awesome, I could enjoy a game spent just watching him.

Second half's been better though not really a contest as Argentina are a no show relative to the talent that they have at their disposal

And even if there is one, it's a joke to reduce it to this.

If you are the GOAT, you can't be 0-4 in major finals with Argentina and also failing to qualify from a group with Iceland, Nigeria and Croatia while missing a crucial penalty. No matter how you look at it, that's going to taint Messi's legacy.

Holy hell, this is so good.

Wow thrashed

Argentina always look so shit. Why can’t they hire a manager that isn’t batshit crazy?

It's a team game. Winning or losing is about so much more than Lionel Messi.

I feel sorry for him having to play in this shambolic setup the Argentineans have put together. He's got no chance.

Clrnc

Sad that Messi will never win the world cup now.

Jens

Nigeria to advance from the group at 6/1. Any takers?

arsedocmd

whatever good chances happened in the two games for argentina happened through messi. But they so totally refuse to play through him. Baffling.

Gunner89

Was a bit sore loser-ish walking straight down the tunnel there.
