Group D: Argentina v Iceland

[Bad Blue 2000]

Otamendi is the same height as Linda Carter or Shirley, from Pepsi & Shirley.

[Octavio]

VAR is ruining football.

I was undecided on it but over the past season I'm now very anti.

Hate the delays and who wants to get everything 'right' all the time anyway? Fuck-ups are a great part of the game.

Plus pundits and commentators banging on about it is boring as hell.

[Carlos J]

Plus players thinking they are dear old Lionel Blair playing charades giving the TV sign.

This group is way open if this stays the same. Super World Cup stuff.

[Carlos J]

Oh. last chance Messi.

[Jonathan]

Little Lionel

[Carlos J]

And nope.

Group is most alive.

Sharing the spoils, Octavio.

[Bad Blue 2000]

Not one of the Iceland players asked Messi for his shirt.

Cool fuckers

I agree 100%.

Waiting minutes to find out whether a goal will stand takes the spontaneity out of football which makes it so enjoyable.

[Octavio]

And nope.

Sharing the spoils, Octavio.

Happy with a point there! Will watch the other group match with interest later.

[Carlos J]

Clattenburg. Bring back Jeff Winter on 'Superstars'. "Duane Ladejo 10 points".

[The End]

Argies could be in a spot of bother. Don't look like a team. Croatia and Nigeria are both rock solid outfits. Interestin', Garth.

Despite a poor penalty, I actually thought Messi played quite well considering he was being marked by a cluster of defenders the size of Trumps Secret Service special detail every time he got the ball.

PS What is it with all these assistant coaches, doing what look like detailed presentations on Ipads to players about to come on as substitutes.

They are footballers FFS, not corporate executives.

Or maybe are they showing them fun vines from the Simpsons or Family Guy?

I'm just noting this to tell you a tale about my brother, TM. Too much detail now, maybe Monday as busy tomorrow. It ain't that good though, but interesting to me and maybe you about coaching.
