sampaoli needs to bring in dybala and slap every member of the defence individually during half time to wake them the hell up

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
I hope Sampaoli had just underestimated Iceland with this joke of a starting lineup and will make some serious changes in 2nd half.

He hasn't. Maybe Sampaoli should have watched Euro 2016

I pray to baby Jesus that our starting line-up will be different after this mess of a game.

Denmark 2, Peru 1
Nigeria 1,Croatia 0
Most of the games are over before I wake up. Come on, Russia.

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
But I am glad the magic of Iceland paid off. I would have predicted a 4-0 win in their favor.

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
There was no magic. They were an 11 man defence for the second half. It was frustrating and intense. And Messi missing that penalty goal broke my heart in 2 but I told my brother and friends he was gonna miss it. I just knew it.

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
I really wish they wouldn't make Messi take every penalty or free kick shot tbh. He's a great finisher imo if he is passed the ball. More Aguero there pls.

Still kinda cool how Denmark, Sweden and Iceland qualified from Europe this year.

Well I'll hand it to denmark. They were only playing with a 10 man defence 
Poor cueva. Heartbreaking

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
Peru looked like they had no finishing touch. They were the better team until they got the ball near the goal, and then everything took too long to set up.

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
Cueva was their main striker and he was definitely having an off day. Forget the missed penalty, nothing else worked. They had quite a few shots on target but Denmark had a 10 man defence set up. They weren't risking their lead.

They also were extremely fast till it came to the goal. They slowed down significantly around the goal area. It was frustrating.

Re: [game thread] world cup 2018!
So much hesitation. This is the first WC for all Peruvian players so the pressure was real. Hope they come in second. ❤❤❤
