Emergency game is about to start thread - Group D - Final round - Argentina vs Nigeria and Iceland vs Croatia

[GunmaN1905]

What exactly is the point of Mascherano in this game now?

He's incapable of making any creative passes, he's too slow to cover on counters. Just a walking red card in the making.

[ReggaeBwoy]

Surprising that Etebo agreed to join Stoke so early. He has been impressive this WC and you would think top tier teams would be in for him, had he not joined Stoke. Wonder if he has little regrets.

Also crazy how Argentina makes an attacking sub and again Dybala is not the first choice to come on. Bizarre.

[daylight]

Di Maria absolutely ****, may as well take him off and play with 10 men for all the good he is doing! 

[ReggaeBwoy]

Aguero also needs to come on for Higuain.

[Redshift]

He got Van Gaal'ed.

[toon_84]

Somebody put Di Maria out of his misery

Do you really need to ask that?  In what world would Argentina ever qualify with 2 points...

In a different world where Croatia had won all their games and the rest ended in a draw?

[craigcwwe]

Di Maria. So bad. 

[Darius1998]

di Maria.

[Flyman]

Di María's been horrible since last millenium

[Andrew_]

Nigeria need another as Aguero will come on and score.

[deltablue]

Mascherano looks a lot like a sinister henchman in a James Bond movie.

[Haguey]

Messi tracked back, GOAT confirmed. 

[Baptista_8]

Di Maria is surely better on the right anyway.

Obviously in reference to previous results in this group dummy!

[Weezer]

How did Di Maria get so bad?!

[GunmaN1905]

This Argentinian team should star in the next Space Jam, because someone obviously did something to most of them.

[Redshift]

Ooooooooooffff thought that would be a banger.

You didn't specify! I answered the question as given!

[Darius1998]

What a chance for Bjarnason.

[craigcwwe]

That was close. 

[Nordan]

Meza ffs

[Icelander83]

ANOTHER FREAKING AMAZING MISS This **** is getting really tired

[Armistice]

Can't Croatia just lay off a bit?

[ReggaeBwoy]

Meza comes on instead of Dybala? ...

[ryan045]

Still plenty of time for Argentina yet.

[Icelander83]

Wonder if anyone ever considered for the Croatian team has played for a less valued team/league than Sævarsson in the Icelandic league

[Baptista_8]

Meza...jesus

[enigmatic]

Meza 

[VamPook]

Hahahaha... this Argentina side. Di Maria subbed by an even more useless player

[ArsenalFan7]

Does Sampaoli want his head on a spike? You're going out of a world cup and you ignore Aguero and Dybala for a player half of us haven't heard of  

[Wiggins Top Boys]

pen!

[GunmaN1905]

Meza

Penalty for Iceland, there's Lovren we all know and love.

[georginho_juventusygr]

What a dribble. 

[Haguey]

Would have been better keeping Di Maria on than bringing useless Meza on.

[daylight]

is this all being set up for the commentator in the 95th minute to yell "It's Sergio Agüero".

[artest]

meza  bring di maria back on

[Icelander83]

LET'S GO! (until the inevitable second, unprecedented penalty miss from Gylfi....)

[Darius1998]

Iceland level.

[GunmaN1905]

1-1 Glyfi

[Icelander83]

Clear as day penalty too

[Icelander83]

THE **** LOCATION: GOTTEN IN!

[Haguey]

Come on Icemen!

[Heartwork]

Nice pen. Now go get a winner.

[Redshift]

Nigeria almost score there! Went begging!

[Armistice]

COME ON FFS

[craigcwwe]

What. A. Miss. 

That was curtains right there for the Argies. 

[grff]

Interesting!

[Andrew_]

That did look like a handball.
