Looking at that line up I don’t think it’s a side that can win the tournament unless Messi is really in top form.
They have a keeper who’s been back up at club sides for quite a while who’s only competitor for the number 1 shirt is on the same boat.
Rojo and Otamendi at CB who are ok but capable of moments of madness and two full backs I’ve never heard of.
An ageing Mascherano and Biglia in midfield, a 26 year old right winger who still plays in Argentina and Di Maria who is highly inconsistent.
Just like Ronaldo, Messi will really prove his greatness if he can drag this side close to the final.

Here comes the 5000th messi v ronaldo article
interesting game... iceland have a really strong team ethic and just enough attacking spark to get a result or two.
loved the commentator after the penalty save "the hand of cod"

Meltonblue.... Dibala can play in place of DiMaria who is totally past it. Dibala can play in a winger role. His movement and vision are great.

I agree, but he will still naturally drift into the same space. They’ve both spoken about this. It’s not a personal issue was more my point.

That Pavon lad looked a threat when he came on. Should have had a penalty

Did the announcer really say hand of cod?
