MC Prussian Posted 16 June 2018 Posted 16 June 2018 Ndidi has been rather disappointing in this match. Not sure if it was the best idea to bring him on already after his injury spell...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 16 June 2018 Posted 16 June 2018 Croatia have done next to nothing and are strolling to victory.

The Doctor Posted 16 June 2018 Posted 16 June 2018 Prior to today 25% of Nigeria's games at a World Cup have ended in defeat to Argentina, can't see that changing this year...

Not sure if it was the best idea to bring him on already after his injury spell... I disagree. He has tidied up a lot in front of the defence. I’ve admired his work tonight. He isn’t the creative spark. 4

Cote d'Ivoire have been terribly unlucky with the draw twice and were millimeters away from progressing last time. It's fine margins, but I will concede that the development of Subsaharan teams has been disappointing since the promise of the 90s

Other than that, he was usually a step late in midfield when Croatia attacked, lost a large number of one-on-ones, not always in position, giving away possession also.
foxfanazer Posted 16 June 2018 Posted 16 June 2018 Oh Kel! Took it right off the toe of one of your players. Good play for once by Musa

The Doctor Posted 16 June 2018 Posted 16 June 2018 Just now, urban.spaceman said: I think I need a professional mathematician to work that out for me. Played at 5 world cups before now (94, 98, 02, 10, 14) - 3 group stages each, plus round of 16 in 94. 16 games played at a world cup before tonight. Lost 2-1 to Argies group stage 94, 1-0 to them in 2002, 1-0 to them in 2010 and 3-2 to them in 2014. 4 defeats to Argentina in 16 world cup games. Only haven't been in the same group as Argentina once in 1998 1 1

Guest Col city fan Posted 16 June 2018 Posted 16 June 2018 To think that the club that won the Premier League then went to go on and sign Ahmed Musa is just bewildering. What on earth was going on that summer?

I like that we can disagree respectfully without descending into impoliteness.
