2018 FIFA World Cup, Group Stage: Argentina 1 : 1 Iceland 2018-06-16

in #news6 years ago

Lionel Messi had a penalty saved as Argentina were held to a 1-1 draw by Iceland in their World Cup opener.

19': Sergio Agüero scores a goal.

23': Alfred Finnbogason scores a goal.

64': Lionel Messi misses a penalty.

Bullshit Time:

If Argentina want to win the title, they should learn from Iceland about how to defense superior. What Iceland did is really great. Argentina didn't have much chance and Iceland grabbed the few chances they had and scored a goal.

Messi really need to improve his penalty skill. I would like to see Argentina go further, and Argentina will need Messi take penalty again if they go  further.

Man of the match: Hannes Thór Halldórsson, 194cm, 89kg, is 34 years old.

Game End

Not a very good start for Messi, but he's too great not to turn this World Cup around really quick...stay tuned.

Messi 7.8?, what?, how?, his offensive play was kinda terrible, missed the penalty, missed a bunch of free kicks just outside the area...and he wasn't all that great defensively either.

Argentina:

  • Lethal front 6
    Terrible back 4

The equation for an awful lot of goals in this tournament at both ends, i hope they progress to the later stages for the entertainment value.

Iceland:
Such a well organised outfit, battle hard and to the end, could provide a few shocks again like they did in the Euros. One of them teams everyone cheers on. Nice to see such a small nation doing well (and there captain plays his club football for my team)

iceland: such a well organised outfit, battle hard and to the end, could provide a few shocks again like they did in the euros.

I think in the match is very interesting. Argentina is very superior. They continued to attack the Iceland defense. The ongoing Argentine strike was unable to break the very strong defense of Iceland. Probably because the Argentine team had not found their best game yet. And Messi was too arrogant.

I'm an Argenina's die-hard fan since 1978. Have had some happy moments along the way. Have waited for Messy to second Maradona for the last 10 years... Have to regretfully admit: this is not going to happen, not with Messy, and with this team. Sadly they are past their peak, which as it turns out was in 2014 - have they played Di Maria in the final, the things may have been different back then. No Di Maria is going to make any difference now, or Messy for that matter.

Messi is hands down the most exciting soccer player to watch.

Los ultimos 7 penalty cobrados por Messi en la selecion de Argentina a errado 4.... Los zurdos tienen mas probalidad de errar un penal que un diestro.... Por estadistica a sido asi...
