Still takes a ton of skill to finish there, but the ball was bouncing everywhere. Just like that wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Great run and goal. Scaloni wising up and starting Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez after the Saudi Arabia game turned things around for Argentina. Their midfield functions so much better with Enzo and Julian is just a better player than Lautaro and works better with Messi up front. Good management by Scaloni to recognise this and not just continue playing favourites like some managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunland Lord Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Let's start* a discussion: Was that goal scored 100% due to Alvarez's skills, or the ball coming back to him several times after hitting Croatian players can be atributed to luck, as well? *just joking, let's NOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one bothered to clear it before the footballer got there to shoot the ball. Luck would be if that balloon spontaneously formed in that location just before the kick. W T F?

butterweedstrover Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Croatians are learning what real offense looks like. No more of their BS wait for penalties. Also, that was a handball at the end of the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 This game is triggering for me: 1) Argentina is winning, which is bad enough; 2) To make it worse, makes clear that Brazil could comfortably beat them if the team was actually picked to counter Croatia's strengths, or at least, you know, actually made changes that addressed the problems the team faced rather than just swapping players: 3) My team Flamengo nearly signed Enzo Fernandez earlier this year only to be outbid at the last minute by Benfica. Just a very bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
