Really uninspiring looking Argentina team

Unfortunately I'll be missing this one cos I take daughter swimming today. Love watching Messi.

 

[TruXta]

Obviously rooting for Iceland, but I think Argentina will win this.

 

[Supine]

I want to see some amazing Messi skills but Iceland to win

 

[Dandred]

2-0 to the Argies in my predictor

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bah! What a start that would've been.

As commo says, might not get many more chances like that...

 

[editor]

Ooh that was close for Iceland!

 

[Lord Camomile]

God holy damn, so much indecision and wasted that break.

C'mon Iceland, sort it out

 

[editor]

I want to see some amazing Messi skills but Iceland to win

I'd like Messi to score 4 goals but Iceland to win 5-4.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bit scrappy, so far.

 

[editor]

I fucking love that Icelandic chant.

 

[Mr Retro]

Bored of Iceland’s dopey fucking Viking Clap now

 

[Lord Camomile]

Iceland getting a lot of players up, they're not sitting back and relying on a lone man up front.

 

[Mr Retro]

Have backed under 2.5 goals in this

 

[Lord Camomile]

That boy is fucking good.

Should have put him in my FF team

 

[binka]

Aguero so fucking lethal

 

[TruXta]

Fuck.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Iceland getting a lot of players up, they're not sitting back and relying on a lone man up front.

That's the first of the tournament

 

[blairsh]

GET IN!

 

[Lord Camomile]

My God!!

 

[TruXta]

JA FOR FAEN

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Best atmosphere so far

Best atmosphere so far

For a country so ridiculously tiny, Iceland have got fantastic fans who make a hell of a lot of noise.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Normally when 'minnows' go a goal down you have people thinking "where will they get a goal from?", but Iceland are going hunting and getting their rewards.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Iceland have had 27% possession, but still match Argentina's 7 shots on goal

They aren't just here to show up, they've come with ambition.

 

[editor]

I'll be amazed if Iceland don't end up being stuffed, but I love this team. Real passion.

 

[Lord Camomile]

How many close chances have Argentina had? They've been putting pressure on, but I can't remember that many where you think Iceland have been lucky or got away with it. They're snuffing most stuff out before it becomes really dangerous.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That's nae a corner! VAR should have a word.

VAR spoke to the ref and didn't say, "Oi, the Argentinian kicked it off"

 

[editor]

Is there a limit to how many VAR requests can be made?
