So we take the lead, great goal by Aguero. I'm thinking, yep just what we wanted, early goal, this wil suit us as they will come out now and we can hit them on the counter attack. Of course they equalise within 5 minutes and they look the more likely to score a second. Messi needs more movement ahead of him.

Well, Spain and France also conceided after taking the lead. France found the winner near the end of the game and hopefully if we're going to win this one, it wont take that long.

If Sampa doesnt change something, then its going to be 1 point or Iceland making a big news by beating us.

I would take out Meza at halftime, absolutely no penetration and we need it against a team clustered in the back half. Either Pavon or take a risk with Dybala.

Rojo is bad but it's a waste to sub out a central defender, he should not play again though.

Sampa can also put the jersey's on and replace Biglia.

Sampa has been playing it save 100% by fielding mostly the 2014 squad. If Romero didnt get injured, then its almost entirely the 2014 squad all over again plus few different guys.

Every opponents must have known how to stop Di Maria at this point, and younger guy with skills and braveness like Pavon should have started!

I'm happy to come on in place of Rojo

At least Mascherano is still Mascherano. But Biglia and Rojo have to go, or it could be a short WC.

Bring in Pavón, see if he can help break their defensive wall.

At least probably Pavon could win foul or penalty with his dribbles.

Armani for Caballero

Passarella at the age for 65 for Rojo

Gallego at 63 for Biglia

Labruna from his grave for Sampaoli

exactly what Meza should be doing except he looks kinda too nervous to do that? Dont care if dybala is useless on the sides it cant be worse than any of this

Everyone and their uncle knew Iceland were going to play like this but our team looks like it has no attacking plan. No movement,slow passing and Messi crowded in the middle. Players are shit,coaches are shit,everyone bar the fans are shit.

LOL, guys at least you are making me laugh

Leon12 · Jun 16, 2018

We scored less goals in qualifying for w/c than Bolivia. Another commentator fact.

argentine soccer fan · Jun 16, 2018

At least we know we are good at passing the ball around in midfield. But so far we cannot break their disciplined defense, and we cannot stop their sporadic attacks.

SupaMario · Jun 16, 2018

Iceland is knocking on that door.

SupaMario · Jun 16, 2018

Banega is coming on...

LOL

At least it is for Biglia...

Don't say that please

At least biglia is out......

Christina99 · Jun 16, 2018

well, at least BIGLIA is out

HollywoodHayat · Jun 16, 2018

Banega, hasn’t trained with the group, is first off the bench.

I’m starting to think Sampaoli is a real idiot

argentine soccer fan · Jun 16, 2018

Relax guys. The strategy is to lure them out by playing horrible defense.

Pekerman · Jun 16, 2018

Banega is a turtle. What a slow release shot

SupaMario · Jun 16, 2018

PENAL!!!

Christina99 · Jun 16, 2018

LOL

Volrath · Jun 16, 2018

Mascherano, Biglia, Banega,...

These guys are all past it. Where are the next Redondos, Riquelmes, Aimars, Cambiassos?? What the hell happened?

Pekerman · Jun 16, 2018

Horrible penalty. He needed to go low

Pipiolo · Jun 16, 2018

Color de hormiga

Leon12 · Jun 16, 2018

I had horrible feeling Messi was going to miss that pen.

locoxriver · Jun 16, 2018

Salvio adds an interesting option to our attack, but dear lord is he a defensive liability. Iceland has exposed his sector time and time again, just imagine a real team like Germany or Spain

Mercado must start from now on, good thing the proof was given early on

Pekerman · Jun 16, 2018

Banega walking pace and he only got in 5 mins ago...
