I agree. I don’t think it was innocent as Napoleon said.

You wouldn't. 

Whether it was intentional or not, it was not nearly as egregious as #18 stomp on Salvio's ankle.

[ScottishHorn 172]

Let's get ready to rumble...45 minutes plus extra time.  

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

You wouldn't.

This isn’t tainted by Brazilian blood. I think both deserved it. Mostly because it is getting chippy out there. I appreciate refs letting the game play out, but there needs to be some control.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

I would bring in Dybala, simply for pace.

[AUS-97HORN 11,823]

oh wow.... thats a clear, clear open field takedown.... not sure why thats not a redcard instead of a yellow

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

Because it is at midfield with other defenders level or behind him.

[AUS-97HORN 11,823]

oh wowo.....    Argentinian keeper gonna die

 

big fuckup by keeper, and # 18 converts

[HenryJames 66,171]

1-0

[Napoleon 8,700]

Totally deserved.

Caballero should NOT be in goal.

[TexArcher 38,069]

OMFG, Caballero.

Jesus.

Shit.

[Bone3421 716]

What a fuck up

[Jive Turkey 12,644]

Caballero strikes again. 

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahagabahahahahabababahahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[WBT 20,669]

Lulz

[Jive Turkey 12,644]

Not an easy finish. But that was clinical. 

[SimonBolivar 10,959]

Good lord

[TexArcher 38,069]

Give him credit for that volley, tho.  Beautiful shot.

[ScottishHorn 172]

Lol...that will live in WC lore forever 

[SpiralOut 1,818]

This goalie seems like he sucks.

[AUS-97HORN 11,823]

was actually typing how many fucking times can either of these teams have a basically clear shot available on goal and not get a real shot on goal.

[kingkoopa6 8,377]

Wow. That was hilarious 

[Doc Sam Beckett 5,797]

Lulz what a dipshit

[Art Vandelay 1,712]

That goalie might be dead

[Jive Turkey 12,644]

Dybala better fucking play if he’s fit. Jesus. 

[SpiralOut 1,818]

The reactions of the Argentina coach are fucking hilarious.  Dude looks like he's having an existential crisis.

[HenryJames 66,171]

Liverpool’d.

[Bone3421 716]

Karius is probably happy

[MaybeACoordinator 8,349]

Should go in the books as an OG.

The other players will be picked up at the airport in limos.

His will be a hearse.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

I’m physically sick watching what happened just now. Another gut punch as a fan. How many do I have to endure 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

Maybe Karius can find a spot with Chelsea now.

[Firemans4Horn 18,123]

Coaches fault on that goal. Stop passing the fucking goalie the ball. 

[ScottishHorn 172]

Iceland may actually advance from this group

This.

Let your talent be talented. Stop throttling them.

Or stop having a goalkeeper you can't trust within 20 yards of a football.

I simply dont understand how underachieving Argentina is.

Stop inserting that Keeper into the Starting 11.

He even punched away another catchable ball after down 0-1 and after his punch away directly led to Iceland's goal in Game 1.

Caballero just sucks. You can see it several times a game. I would be shocked if he starts Game 3.

[TexArcher 38,069]

Poor Maradona.  His halftime coke rails are wearing off right about now.

A fan of a country you have no allegiance to and just like one player? You can always pull for Iran. 

My fellow Liverpool peeps know what a lead is like with Lovren in your backfield. White knuckling for 30 more minutes.

Maradona snorting whatever he can at this point.

This is the 3rd WC in a row that they are much worse than the sum of their parts.

Argentina has gone to 2 DFs...
