That's as much a pen as Ronaldo's was last night and more than Griezmanns earlier.
Is anyone else getting sick of commentators and pundits acting like Iceland are complete **** and are just playing way above their levels?
They're a genuinely good team. Call them that ffs.
This will be Argentina's hardest group game, for certain.

I eat my words about Iceland, great display from their lads. Messi firing blanks too, who would have thought it
Yeah I don’t get that re the VAR. surely that should have been seen as a stone wall penalty by the video ref?
Ronaldo was the same in Euro 2016 against Iceland, he did **** all all game because Iceland hounded him all game just as they have Messi today.
Defensively, Iceland are ****ing superb.
I'm happy that VAR isn't being used constantly like it was in the FA Cup games. Particularly when it's subjective calls where there isn't a universal "correct" decision. I don't agree with the refs interpretation on a lot of the decisions so far but at least it's still a fluent game of football where everyone knows that's going on and we're not having goals overturned afterwards.
While it’s always nice to see the dirty Argie bastards lose I don’t really get the massive clamour for underdog teams to get results in the World Cup. Especially teams who play anti football ala Tony Pulis/Sam Alladice coaching manual. For me the World Cup is about the worlds best teams and players showing their talent on the biggest stage. Not **** players constantly fouling better ones, or pumping 40 yard throws into the box.
