Why can't players take a proper run up nowadays. it was an odd effort, nothing wrong with disguising your kick with a short run up but if you’re waiting for the keeper to move just hit the target, looks like he still tried to pick the very top corner.

Unless Iceland beat Croatia by the same or better score as they're one goal better off on goal difference. I think the Argies need to sack their manager and get someone else out there ASAP.

VillaChris Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Nigeria were good today (only saw second half). Always felt their pace and power would give Iceland trouble. Problem is a midfield of Mikel and Ndidi is not capable of controlling play like Modric-Rakitic so Argentina will get more of the ball and Nigeria always look like they have a mistake in them. Can actually see Argentina scraping through now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Nigeria beat Argentina in a friendly recently in Russia and also gave them a good game in last World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Well good news for Iceland is Croatia's manager admitted he will rest players for the group stage since they are basically guaranteed first now. Iceland will likely face Croatia's B team. Nothing would make me happier to see Argentina beat Nigeria, but still fail to go through because Iceland beat Croatia.

BOF Posted June 25, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2018 I can see Argentina getting through. They'll beat Nigeria and if Iceland fail to beat Croatia which is highly likely, then the Argies finish 2nd on 4pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very unlikely to be Iceland, so it really just depends if Nigeria can draw with Argentina or not. Unfortunately, I think Argentina will just about manage it too.

At the moment I'd fancy Villa to beat this Argentina team so I would probably put Nigeria as favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Croatia's manager said he will be resting players for the Iceland match, so there is hope for Iceland. Argentina do not deserve to go through. I hope either Iceland or Nigeria finish 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
