Messi is supposed to do what he was doing a year ago. He used play against better teams and defenders than today and he wad efficient as hellz


Higuain was really poor. That's like saying the Heat had Wade in the finals. Di Maria was meh. Their gameplan was to stick 2 defenders to Messi at all times and make sure they're up against him whenever he received the ball. They forced Argentina to play from the wings and the wings lacked any creativity even when they had space.

Kolasinac not playing, Sunjic at CB is a concern. I sure as heck hope Susic knows what he's doing with this lineup

Fun fact: Dzeko & Misimovic combined for 15 goals in the world cup qualifiers. Turkey scored only 16. :box:

Time for Pjanic to step up today. He was good last game but I know he can do more.

Is there a more disappointing non-top-tier team in this WC than Nigeria? They have talent, but they look like **** often. Emenike is beasting all over the place and his teammates can't even trap the ball.

Very entertaining start.

I dunno why you guys are so down on Nigeria. They have quality in midfield and up front.

Great goal. Sadly the ref had tomatoes on his eyes.

Misimovics passing is obviously still there even if he might not be fit enough to run for 90 minutes.

Misimovic forgets he's too lazy to run whenever he has the ball.

He's had a couple good runs this game.
