Argentina vs Iceland (Group D) - 14:00 - 16/06/2018

[Lord Camomile]

SHOW US A REPLAY OF THE PENALTY, YOU BASTARDS

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hate to say it, but that could have been a penalty.

 

[campanula]

VAR?

Oh well...

 

[editor]

Phew! Close.

 

[blairsh]

Messi looks tired. The Iceland defence stll looks solid.

 

[campanula]

Iceland - indomitable. Box argentina in (no point going wide against giants) and keep an eye on any chances

 

[Lord Camomile]

Two things from that shot of Maradona:

1) he was smoking a cigar. That allowed?
2) there was a guy who had the camera on his phone pointed at Maradona, rather than the game. Wonder if it's footage for a video or summat.

I spotted that and wondered why.

Selling that shit

 

[Lord Camomile]

Iceland defending getting increasingly desperate and ropey

 

[blairsh]

Awesome game.

Also, "movie director goalkeeper"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Final whistle blew and the Iceland players barely reacted. Look at their bench, just walking on like it's the end of a league match

Cool as... well, ice

Is Messi teeny tiny or are the Icelandic players all just really tall..?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is Messi teeny tiny or are the Icelandic players all just really tall..?

Both.

<edit: Messi is 5'7", same as me. So, y'know, not "teeny tiny"... >

 

[butchersapron]

V small

 

[Lord Camomile]

Because he's so good* they make him play further away than the other players.



*today notwithstanding...

 

[Lord Camomile]

"It may not be the most attractive football" - fuck of Pougatch, they played some properly decent football, stringing smart passes together rather than just lumping it forward.

Messi is far away

 

[Sprocket.]

Good result Iceland, I’m chuffed for stalwart ex-miller Árnason.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Fair play to Iceland. Fucked my accumulator right up!

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Brutal. Shots fired etc

 

[Favelado]

When Messi missed the pen, one of the Argentine commentators said

"We're "in the oven" (up the creek) if Messi is missing penalties. I want to kill myself."
