World Cup 2018 | 16th June Matches | Next Game: Croatia v Nigeria 20:00 (BST)

Fair play to Iceland. They don't have a fraction of the talent but they get in your face, close down as a team and make it difficult to play against.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I do wonder if his knee had been bothering him for some time and the recent operation has done him the world of good.

Every World Cup, he's been run into the ground by our manager previously, played when not fit & arrived at the tournament unfit.

Pep gave him time off to fix his injuries.

We might see the benefit next season as opposed to him being double knackered when he gets back.

It’s hard to see Argentina going too far if Caballero and Rojo play each game.

Willy. Rojo. Hard. I see what you did there

 

[mat]

I’m just happy for Willy.

After everything he did for us he’s playing in World Cup for his country.

 

[typicalcity...]

Argentina just can't defend, simple as. Pep can hide and cover up Ota all he wants but fundamentally at the top-level he's a liability, and the weak-link in our defence going forward if we get to key CL games. Just not composed, decisive and mature enough.

Completely wrong. Otamendi is probably our most dependent CB in the big games. None of that was his fault, like pep said we wouldn’t of achieved what we did without Nico that includes Napoli away etc

 

[gaz76]

That's a poor goal to concede. Willy looking very wobbly so far.

FNARR FNARR!!

Argentina's Willy was exposed there.

whys everyone being so hard on willy

 

[01cravend]

Aguero is incredible, no striker better than him in the world just others on the same level. So glad he's ours for a few more seasons.

 

[Pam]

Otamendi saved your arse there, Messi.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Christ, what a bunch of thugs. How is Bjarnason still on?

 

[KS55]

Willy is a flop
