Iceland has very physical players and a very compact defensive strategy. They may not win o, but come and win them na.

In the last euro they finished second in their group, ahead of Portugal (they held Portugal to a 1-1 draw too, with Ronaldo also firing blanks). They went ahead to knock England out before falling to France in the quarterfinals.

Underestimate them at your own risk.

It's obvious someone like you didn't see the game. Those guy didn't play anything, they just park players at the back. You think team like Spain will play like this?

Remember Euro Cup 2016 when Ronaldo played against them? Remember what he said after the game ended? "Iceland play with a low team mentality". So please stop saying crap, because Ronaldo have a good game yesterday doesn't mean Messi will continue having a bad game.

In fact Ronaldo didn't play anything against them in Euro with the way they marked him, shebi Messi was still able to play? Moreover, he doesn't even have a bad game if not for the penalty miss.
I am sure Iceland played like that today because they know the quality of the Argentinan team especially their attack ,I am sure they will play a more attacking football when they meet Nigeria and Croatia .

Very well... I am just pissed with the way Ronaldo fan keep saying Messi didn't play anything, it's absurd.

These are teams that won't win game and won't let you defeat them. Either they draw or score a goal and keep defending like Atletico Madrid. In fact, today possession should be 90-10

why not reach out to lucknaldo/penaldo/tapnaldo/headnaldo and ask him about Iceland. Nani scored the only goal that gave them draw against Iceland.

It's a tournament!
Let's keep watching
This is not UCL where Marcelo comes to rescue.
World cup no be gra-gra!
If you do too much gra-gra, you will only end up attracting people like GERMANY.
And those German machine doesn't know how to spare.

if not for their worst performance in the first half against france, they'd have even by hardwork send france packing. The way they played france in that second half ehn.. They are good. Have been telling people before the start of this world cup that you just don't underate Iceland because you don't know them. They played defensive game today because of Messi, you'd see how they'd play against Nigeria and Croatia.

Exactly,Iceland didn't open up at all and they didn't man mark anyone,it was a solid mass defensive approach so there was virtually no space to run in ,I am sure if Ronaldo played today he too couldn't have done better
The space given to messi to take the penalty, wetin onku use am do?? grin grin

Words at the end of the day, is meant to confuse. Messi had 10 chances including a penalty, and he failed to deliver. Cr7 had 4 and converted 3 against Spain.


Bear this in mind, Messi and cr7 had a shitty game in their respective games yet the results speaks of a different story. Cr7 played woefully. No chances created, no creative pass at the final half but he hot himself a set piece and a lucky goal. That's what it means to get the job done. No excuses. Messi, no the other hand though creative and stuff failed to impose his will when it matters most. Yes, the bus was parked. But what happened to his shooting boots? Do we blame adidas or the field of play.


Numbers don't lie.



Style of play differs but by the standard Messi had set for himself, he failed. At euros, do you think if a penalty was gifted to cr7 in the game against Iceland, he would bungle it? Yes, Cr7 missed against Austria but he still went on to lift the trophy at the euro 2016.


Sentiments aside, Messi has underperformed in the colours of Argentina. This is the 4th pk, he has missed donning the shirt of argentinean.

Don't bring up the excuse of reaching the finals of the world cup, squad wise, they slay any team coming to world cup including Germany. Yet they failed.

In 2016, Iceland tied Portugal, 1-1. Ronaldo took 10 shots, no goals.

In 2018, Iceland tied Argentina, 1-1. Messi took 11 shots, no goals.

Iceland vs. Ronaldo and Messi: 21 shots conceded, no goals.

Did Ronaldo get any penalty in the fixture?
Messi penalty miss was a blunder of epic proportions.

Obviously so many commenting here did not see d game,Dier plan was jst to mark Messi in number,almost 4 layers dedicated to him alone yet do Maria did not take advantage of it
But truth be told I'm impressed by Argentina,wasn't expecting dem to play so well. D only low point was Messi missing a penalty. [color=#990000][/color]

em... Ronaldo actually did (in your words) 'bungle' a penalty against Austria in the last Euros, and that was his 4th penalty miss in 5 recent attempts at the time.

It's ok to prefer a player over another, but don't argue ignorantly. Some of us actually watch these matches.
