Buenos Aires invades Kazan, who knows what happens.
These teams haven't played at a WC since 1978. Very fresh matchup.

In 78, Argentina managed to beat France on a scandalous penalty. Tresor touched the ball with his arm (not on purpose at all), and the ref didn't call a penalty.
Under the pressure of crazy Argentine players and a mad stadium, he simply chose to change his mind many seconds after the fact. One of the most scandalous ref decision ever.
To be fair, I don't think it could happen anymore. Back then there was a dictatorship in Argentina and it was REALLY up front during that WC.And I thought NHL refs were bad.....
First time Argentina is playing against a team that won't park the bus either, it should be said.
Did you see the Croatia game? Croatia play high pressure, on and off. Even when they led 1-0 they applied high pressure.
In no way, shape or form, was Croatia inferior in any way in that game, or played anything resembling negative, defensive football.
For his missed passes Masch is still the best they have as a DM on the team... unless FIfa forces Ascacibar to play. I mean him not making the tournament is why this tourney has been a farce. The World is crying for him.
the forbidden one
I mean y'all are lucky he's not here... only to give the other nations a chance. With him Argentina would go 10 -0. not conceding a single goal.
He'll only be allowed to play for Argentina when Messi retires as having both the best forward and the best midfielder in the world simply isn't fair and would kill any kind of parity in the sport. I lol'd at 'most humiliating skill' in the video name
