    We really need another goal, or at least win by 2 goals. I don't trust Croatia keeping a draw.

    I can’t stress how important it is to finally have a proper defense again. I feel 1000x more secure with Mercado in there for Salvio

    Also all of you talking shit about Enzo — he did his thing. A lot of running and pressuring. I definitely feel he is a better fit than Meza, don’t even let me compare him to Biglia

    Man Sampaoli changed his entire system and the ironic part is that Icardi/Paredes are perfectly suited for this system!!!

    Yep, I'd put in Aguero and take out Higuain when he started to slow down. This is a game that Aguero could simply get a goal.

    You can tell they are a lot more comfortable in this configuration.

    Mascherano scares me with his turnovers though.

    Banega at least gives us a semblance of two way play in the midfield.

    I wanna see Pavon play Enzo’s role. Enzo has been amazing but Pavon would make that right side soo dangerous and this team would be unstoppable.

    and he always stays close to Messi so Messi has a close passing option all the time on the right side.

    He probably will play if still no more goal after 15-20 minutes. Hopefully we could get another soon.

    All 3 forwards have put in good work defensively. Hope they have the legs to finish strong.

    I like Pavon, but Enzo provides more defensive stability and necessary balance in midfield. The change would be Pavon x Di Maria, although Angel is playing well today

    That was an insane reach by rojo to kick it away. :D

    Much much better than first two games. Need more goals - apparently Iceland is creating chances against Croatia though still 0-0.

    Pavon to come on for Di María after he has no gas left.
