Group D (Argentina, Croatia, Iceland, Nigeria)

How was the Argentina Nigeria game, what was it about?

As for ours, good game, started brightly but as the game went on Iceland grew into it, especially once they started to get all those throw ins and corners from which they were really dangerous. Great goal by Badelj who before that almost scored a screamer. Lovren being Lovren made sure he made a stupid handball out of nothing. Finally Perišić scored in the end, he really needed that and I'm glad we won and kept the momentum. Kudos to Iceland they had a really good game.

Special mention to Modrić, without him it's all harder. When Rakitić came in it made a huge difference, he's playing a blinder in this tournament. Bad first and a good 2nd half from Badelj. Kova must leave Madrid, he really regressed. Kramarić wanted too much on his own, should have kept it simple. Pjaca, his injury really left consqeuences on him, I hope he'll be back to his former self. Ćorluka the veteran and the youngster Ćaleta Car had a great game as a CB pairing I thought. Jedvaj should have been better and a good good game by Pivarić.

Kalinić made few brilliant saves and he's our future between the sticks.

As for Denmark, we're a bettet team and should go thorugh but it's football, they have Erikssen and anything can happen.
 
I'm in a hope for the best mindstate. I and many family and friends always have fun during the world cup, sometimes drinking too much and acting melodramatic. Hopefully just some World Cup fun times.

Just reading some reports about medics intervened as he almost collapsed. Bloody hell, love the man but should slow down a bit ffs. World cup or not.

Edit:

Won't last till the end of WC at this rate

Very proud of my country! With a little bit of luck we would be facing France! We had so many good opportunities to score in every game and it was far from walk over from the big ones.

Kudos to you guys. Gave us a proper good game.
 
Nigeria had them for the taking. Should have had at the worst a point. Also, only 4 minutes of stoppage time was a farce!
 
Fecking gutted to be honest.
Hope Ighalo never plays for us again. Stick to China mate.

Well it's not his fault if the manager keeps picking him is it? Remember in all our friendlies right up to our first game he was head of Musa and Iheanacho, it took the Croatia loss to start Musa and Kelechi ahead of this lump. Then he plays him for a whole half yesterday despite the guy bringing absolutely nothing to the team.
