One Team In Keynsham Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just now, Super said: Croatia will still want to win the group and avoid France though. Exactly my train of thought. More from the angle of Iceland needing to win to avoid France (assuming they have won group C). Admittedly Croatia would just need to avoid defeat in that scenario.

JamesBCFC Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 1 minute ago, Super said: Croatia will still want to win the group and avoid France though. They would win the group. An Iceland win today puts them on 4, so a draw with Croatia leaves them 2 points behind Croatia. Argies will max at 4 points, but unless they hammer Nigeria would go out on GD.

Coxy27 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 12 hours ago, Portland Bill said: It depends if they have anyone playing behind them that can get the ball to them, the evidence seem to show they haven’t! They probably would have, if the manager actually played them. The whole set-up was bizarre. You'd think looking at the squad that they would be very well suited to a 4-3-3, with Le Celso and Banega the creatives in the midfield, Mascherano/Biglia in a deeper defensive role. Then that feeds the front three of Messi, and two from Aguero/Higuain/Di Maria/Dybala. How players like Meza and Perez are playing is beyond me.

Yes I do, this is the WC not a league 2 end of season game. I’m sure Croatia will change a few players, but those players will be desperate to impress the manager, they may not get another taste of WC football otherwise.

Ronaldo has shone more at this world cup, but Messi was better at the last, comparing them off of one tournament makes little sense. Both are world class players who deserve to be viewed in their own right, not in comparison with each other " Going down Greats " being the operative phrase to describe both players.

I believe that Messi is the superior player but in a game where it really matters I am always more confident of Ronaldo coming up with the goods.

Jesus is more of a direct threat, running in behind and getting in proper poaching positions. Firmino is a more creative forward. The manager I would assume believes he's got what Firmino offers from other players (Coutinho/Neymar) but not what Jesus offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
