Nigeria v Argentina match thread

[Sharpe's Fox]

Papering over the cracks. Argentina will get pumped by France like they got pumped by Croatia, the midfield cannot compete with Kante. France are probably happy they got them.

[Jattdogg]

Fcuk argentina. They squeaking through and wont do well in the next round . France to batter them 

[Jon the Hat]

Having Maradina in the stands is like us putting Gazza up there.

[Fox92]

Bloody Argies. Great goal from Rojo, mind.

 

Igahlo should have scored - two decent chances for him.

[ScouseFox]

can finally end the messi ronaldo debate on the plus side, 40 minutes when your team needs a hero and messi wasn’t even on me tele until after they’d scored. hiding. probably still take all the plaudits and then blame everyone else when they lose next round.

Giving the bird to the Nigerian fans. What a cvnt

[MC Prussian]

Why the belief that a France side that couldn't even put one past a stale Denmark team at this World Cup will beat a resurgent Argentina?

They now have the belief and the form to perform well in the knockout stages.

Not convinced by France.

BY THE SKIN OF THEIR TEETH!

Thought you were Swiss.  Why would any neutral possibly have any love for this Argentina side, let alone one who supports Leicester with 3 players on the other team? 

[Samilktray]

Nigeria just weren't good enough in the end

Because Argentina are shit and it's only that Ighalo is crap that they're even going through rather than having been beaten by Nigeria?

That doesn't prevent me from cheering for the team that I have down as WC champions in the pre-tournament prediction thread.

 

Go and see for yourself.

[Jonezy]

My Nigerian heart bleeds... 

[Finnegan]

Argentina still crap papering over the cracks blah blah etc. 

 

All very true. 

 

But France have been shit as well so I'm not sure why people think it's a forgone conclusion either way.

If you had seen Peru just put in that performance you would say France will batter them. Argentina are really bad and are living on their reputation.

Really? France have been shite. Struggled against Australia, had trouble breaking down Peru and couldn't got through Denmark. They've looked really poor. Lots of attacking threat but it's just not clicking.

[DennisNedry]

Gutted!

 

What a fat twunt Maradonna is.

[foxes_rule1978]

Clear penalty there

Argentina aren't shit. Sampaoli is shit, shit starting XIs, shit substitutions.

 

Leaves Icardi and Rulli at home and Dybala has yet to kick a ball.

Still better than Argentina, argentina struggled against Iceland, lucky today and got thrashed by Croatia
