They're the most fun team to watch so far.

I was going to make a similar statement, except with Harry Kane instead of Ronaldo.

In hindsight, you probably took the better route.

Argentina still has a good shot of moving on, but with the way south american teams looked you never know even against a young Nigerian team.

They have less than 5% of chances of moving on, would not call it a good shot. They depend on other teams now plus they need to win their last game by a lot. If Iceland wins vs Nigeria ( which I am fully expecting) they are 99.9% out. Croatia will not push to win vs Iceland by more than 3 goals in the game which means nothing to them. They will rest their best players for playoffs and milk clock to get a tie which would get both teams in. Yeah, I am pretty sure Argentina is out.

''playing for a tie'' easier said than done, one mishap in final game and they're playing france next round. only way Croatia plays reserves if Iceland loses points tomorrow.

as bad as Argentina is, Messi's display tonight was embarassing. The guy refused to show up, did not even look for the ball
