Cade Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Last game of the day. Argentina struggled to break down an impressive Iceland in their first game. Messi had a penalty saved and generally looked out of sorts throughout the match. Croatia got an easy three points against a woeful Nigeria side in their first game, but still needed an OG and a penalty to settle things. They performed alright but will have up their performance tonight. Croatia's "golden generation" vs wee Messi. Could be good, could be a stinker.

John Findlay Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Argentina need the win more than Croatia however, I think Croatia are the better team and can see them beating the Argentines by the odd goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky_26 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The fact that Croatia will attach should help Argentina. There should be more space in behind for Argentina's attackers and they won't face the constant pressing and harrying that Iceland did. On the flip side Argentina's defensive frailties can be exploited by Croatia's creative players. A hard game to call, probably only one goal between the sides. I'll go Argentina 2-1 Messi and aguero with their goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviskan Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hoping for an Argentina win personally...and can see this being one of the games of the tournament so far. If Argentina's attacking players click, then I think they'll get the win they need...I'd 100% start Pavon in this game, based on his cameo in the last match.

chuck berrys hairline Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Said Croatia after first round of games and sticking too it.

Shaggy2 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 On 4/9 for over 1.5 goals. No been many in the second round of matches. WC needs a good game and this looks the pick of this round.

Either going to go that way as he seems to thrive on pressure same as CR or complete opposite. Croatia are very organised and lot of talent so that back line of Argentina may take a pasting. Should be a good game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
