WORLD CUP 2018

I see that there are now murmurings that the Russian team have clearly been doping due to the fact they have covered more ground in their match than any other teams and have enjoyed a radical upturn in their performance so far... hmmmmm

Go Russia! very entertaining team to watch, hope they do well.

Ha ha ha Willy Caballero.  Couldn't happen to a nicer country.

Great goal though, I hope Croatia can win this, but suspect Argentina might try and finally get the ball to Messi.

Half heartedly watching Argentina vs Croatia, bit of a poor game considering the status of the teams then, ooh dear, the Argentinian goalie might struggle to live that goal down.

Wow, Croatia really deserved that one. Why can't Messi influence a game for Argentina like Ronaldo does for Portugal? Or have I just missed it when he has?

EricTheWeary

Second goal was superb. Argentina seem to be responding by kicking people rather than the ball.

Good job Croatia got rid of those hard-to-see white numbers on their shirts and replaced them with the red ones.

Nice to see Charlie Corluka come on at the end, always enjhoyed seeing him at Spurs.

Third Croatian goal - proper laughed and snorted me coffee out.

Argentina looked League 2 tonight - Northern Vanerama Evo Stik Championship League 2 that is..

I haven't seen Argentina defend that bad since the Falklands.

Quality. It was a bit slapstick.

Very much so. I particularly enjoyed Rizzo the Comedy Goalkeeper

I'm sure this was traced to a shipment of Garlic Eclairs.

Hahah! Did you also see the tweet that Putin was on VAR duty during the England match? Thought that was quality comedy too...

Caballero - that ridiculous error will be fodder for "Football's craziest moments" TV shows for years. 

Hilarious.

Just goes to show Messi without the Spain midfield is far less of a player.  I think Portsmouth should duck out of our negotiations for him.

Messi is beyond amazing, the problem is that Argentina have unbelievably turned into massive shite. Even the current version of Maradona, at 57 and reduced to a complete wreck, would've had a lot more to contribute. Who would've thought they were going to crash out of the cup so early? I find it kind of sad to see big teams like Argentina, Italy and Holland go into such decline.

@IvanMC they're not out of it yet mate.

They might have an upturn in the final group game akin to Mike Bassett's 2002 England team
