No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

oh that was magnificent

Wowee

ahhhh he's just the best

Amazing.

RIP Argentina.

Top notch great.

What a fucking match this is. Feels like the first really high stakes game of the tournament.

kick his head off, nice

that's a red imo

lol nearly a 3rd there

red

hahahaha

3-0, argentina not even bothering in the end

HOLY FUCK

3-0 better than a red imo

OK glad I'm watching Legally Blonde and not this :(

This is almost as great as that 1998 quaterfinal.

LOL they are shit.

Terrific match - really physical (just short of boiling over, which is what I like) and a mess at times, with some hilarious and brilliant stuff.

also enjoying commentator repeatedly saying nizhny novgorod tbh

Yeah yeah Ronaldo whatever, Modric today is probably the best individual performance of the tournament and it doesn't look like Argentina had any plan whatsoever to deal with him. Or that they even thought about it. Their midfield is just shit.

Congratulations to the goat.

OK glad I'm watching Legally Blonde and not this :(

ok lol what how come?

lmao Argentina have some great players but they are not organised to any fucking shape. Its not about Messi rescuing this!

I bet Iceland are kicking themselves now.

Iceland will get to play an already qualified Croatia for their last game, I think they have a decent chance.

Yeah, beat Nigeria, hold against Croatia for a point, they’re in.

Depends, Croatia are hungry. Better Argies are knocked out now rather than squeak

I meant they must be kicking themselves they didn't beat this shower.

(One of) the obvious problem with Argentina is that they haven't had a decent coach since forever.

Actually, what is happening is good karma for selecting Maradona as coach for the 2010 WC.

Multi xp

Cos my daughter's in the cast - it's the musical - and I'm tired of Arg breaking my heart

Think Iceland will beat Nigeria fairly comfortably fwiw.

cool NV - well they aren't worth it this time around

lol what happened here

argentina manager now just being called "yerman" on rte

bodied

and thats by the anchor, not one of the biyiz

tbf to Sampaoli, he had a very decent record with Chile.

They’re ludicrously unbalanced and have no Ortega / Veron figure to create anything in midfield. The domestic league is one of the most grindingly attritional of any country.

"A coach with sleeve tattoos? Fuck that imo"

innit, get back to your fork-lift truck you fucking degen!

well I found watching argentina burn themselves out quite cathartic anyway

Until Simeone or Pochettino want a shot, Argentina should prob go with a European manager.

Basically, in front, Argentina played with two wingbacks and 2 strikers and an out of position central midfielder who scored 9 goals for club and country over the last 2 season. No attacking midfielders per se.

Antonio Pulis (xp)

Ha. Really hope they don't go like Enrique, who would be a horrible fit, followed by Bielsa stint number two (but can totally see that happening)

Why is Pastore isn't in the squad?

been put out

Did Di Maria even get on the pitch? Not that it would have made much difference.

I think it hurts because every time they flop it gives ammunition to the idiots who underrate Messi

Why is Pastore isn't in the squad

He's barely played for PSG for the last two or three years

Also that was terrible darragh
