They won one. They scored 0.75 goals per game. They lost to Ecuador, Paraguay and Bolivia. They drew with Venezuela. Tata Martino was sacked and so was his successor, Edgardo Bauza. With Messi, Argentina played ten matches and only lost one (to Brazil in Belo Horizonte). They beat Chile twice, Uruguay and trounced Colombia 3-0 in San Juan. In 10 games, Messi scored seven goals (including the all-important hat-trick against Ecuador to secure Argentina’s World Cup place). How important were Messi’s goals? For comparison’s sake, Argentina’s strike force of Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Mauro Icardi, Dario Benedetto, Lucas Pratto and Lucas Alario combined for three goals over the two-year cycle.

Also Tunisia have to attack in this game whereas first game they didn’t really. Belgium can be very good at times though but also seen enough to suggest they have flaws at the back. Agreed, the one thing that gives me hope is alot of nations seem to have flaws at the back this time round. Lots of attacking talent on show but been some dodgy defending even from the better teams. Did notice Belgium seemed a little wobbly after Tunisia brought it back to 2-1. We'll certainly ask alot more questions of their defense than Tunisia and Panama have.

Got to be honest and say that England’s defence doesn’t fill me with confidence, especially our left hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 VAR non use again. Swedish striker thru on goal, gets a push in the back and is clearly impeded but no action from the ref or it seems by the VAR officials If that wasn't a clear and obvious mistake then I don't know what is, Should have been a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think England will win the WC or even the group but they can get past 2nd round I think. Germany again not learned from the Mexico game as getting stung on the break a lot. Lucky it wasn't a penalty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 If Sweden can get a point here, they could play out a draw with Mexico which would guarantee progression for both sides and ensure Germany’s elimination. What a delicious thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
