Watching Iceland is awesome, they're attacking in the final third, lose the ball and its like watching an elastic band release as every player immediately gets back into their defensive positions.

Thats incredible discipline and buy-in.

Musa! Quality goal. How he brought the ball down to himself and banged it in. Awesome.

Penalties, free kicks, and worldies are apparently going to make up most of the goals in this tournament. Be interesting to see how Iceland respond, not sure they'll open it up, goal difference could be the decider in advancing from this group.

Probably the end for Iceland. Argentina undeservedly back in control of their destiny, though they'll probably get walloped by Nigeria.

Iceland definitely out after that miss. Was a big penalty as their only chance is goal differential.

Argies are catching such a huge lifeline here

I think they go through

Iceland and Croatia were bad matchups, nigeria cant stifle them defensively and dont have a midfield to control the game

He lost his balance?!?!?!

That dive was right out of swan lake

He arched his back to get more air time

That was the most obvious dive I have seen recently. It would only have been made better if he'd asked the defender to wait while he filled a small pool with water.

How he escaped a yellow for diving there is beyond me.

That was basically on par with this:

Hand leaned on him, he embellished but he did lose his balance. I’m guessing we will agree to disagree here.

No, only Brazil supporters are defending this even slightly. The rest are getting their bets in on the Brazil 2020 diving team.

Lol ok, I mean he was clearly pushed in the stomach and knocked his balance off and then fell over. You guys can try and make it seem like the biggest dive in the world but it was not.

he was not pushed in the stomach, he could have easily fought through the defender's arm and really forced him to grab.
