Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Did they just say Iceland beats Argentina 1-1?! What the hell is that??
707BillsFan Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I think because Argentina was so heavily favored, a win was expected. I think a tie for Iceland is like a win for them.

At one point in the 2nd half announcers said Argentina had completed 564 passes and Iceland like 82. I will always root for the underdog, and will root for them..but can't see how they can winmany games playing that style. As an aside, I know nothing about soccer!

They're not particularly talented, but if they can stay organized and coordinated, then they have a puncher's chance.
Cugalabanza Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Mexico doing really well so far, up 1-0 at the half. I hope they can hold on, but it will be tough.

They're kind of going through the same thing as Italy, at the tail end of a solid generation of players who put together some good runs. Both are moving into a period of uncertainty i.e. no real big stars and talent on the horizon.
RaoulDuke79 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Ref is certainly letting them play in the Germany/Mexico game.

Cugalabanza Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Huge win for Mexico! I love it. Good stuff for CONCACAF. 1
GoBills808 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Credit to a very deserving Mexico for putting in one of the most courageous performances I’ve ever seen against a heavily favored squad. Germany just looked totally out of ideas. Might be a sad ending for their golden generation.
Wayne Cubed Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Does leaving Sane out come back to bite Germany in the butt? Looks like they could have used his speed on the outside today. Credit to El Tri, they were quick to counter and exploited the massive holes left by the German midfielders.
