wow, that looked like a legit tangled fall on nigeria, not a takedown

HOLY SHIT-  the Nigerian barely, barely touched him, and was already tripping himself

You can tell it was a legit tangled fall because Di Maria didn't have time to fake it.


It was incidental contact, that's why it was only a yellow card rather than a red.

It was the right call and there was no acting on that one. Di Maria knows that if he dives, he doesn't get to take the free kick, so if he wants a goal, he stays up... but the incidental contact knocked his leg over to hit the back leg.

Maradona needs to take another bump.

Mascherano is the heart & soul of Argentina's squad. He may not have the legs, but at least in the first half he can make up for it with hustle. Don't see how he can play like this for 90 minutes on 34 year-old legs, unless he is seeing the Russian squad's trainers.

Croatia started a lot of reserves. Modric is still out there, but starters for the Argwentina match who are on the bench for Iceland are:

-GK Danijel Subasic
-Domagoj Vida
-Dejan Lovren
-Marcelo Brazavic
-Ivan Strinic
-Simi Vrsaljko
-Ivan Rakitic
-Ante Rebic
-Mario Mandzukic

So 9 Croatian starters are resting for the Iceland match. I totally agree with that decision on their part, but Argentina really needs at least a two goal win to be safe.
