Will be interesting to see what changes Arnie makes for the next game. Mooy and Jackson couldn't get near it in the first half and were marginally better in the second. We will need Mooy to be at his absolute best, so hope there is still some petrol in his tank.

I thought Mooys defensive efforts were the best I’ve ever seen but yeah was very ineffective with the ball.

Leckie looked out on his feet, not sure he had another step in him when subbed so might have to replace him given the quick turn around

I think Hrasutic will start just not sure who for

Still bloody pumped!!!

We couldn't beat Argentina could we!

I don't know if it works in our favour or not but as the tournament goes on depth will be extremly important.

I don't think we have any match winners to bring in but we could make a change here and there without negative impact eg Hrastuic for Irvine, McLaren for Duke, Mabil for Goodwin or Leckie, Karacic for Degenek is not going to make huge differences.

From what i saw when he came on against Tunisia, Mabil would need to lift his defensive work rate a fair bit. A lot of pointing and wanting others to track back.
Will need a full team effort defensively sunday morning to be any chance of the biggest upset in world history!

Couldn’t agree more and that’s 100% why his time has been limited.

Karacic for Degenek is a must against Argentina.

No way in the world would you bring on an AM for a DM (Hrustic for Irvine) against Argentina. McLaren isn't a hold-up man like Duke. Would be useless. Mabil probably best off the bench.

Yeah it would probably be hrustic for McGree or Mooy if he comes in. For mine Hrustic is one of the real world class players we have and a serious set piece threat.

Under normal circumstances wouldn’t change a winning team but the congested fixtures will surely force a couple of changes.

Group E is just madness.
At halftime either both Germany and Spain leading 1-0 it just looked like a regular day but since then Japan has scored twice in a few minutes to lead Spain and Costa Rica has equalised against Germany. Currently Japan top and Germany bottom. Another Costa Rica goal however would see Spain eliminated.
All 4 sides can still make it with only 20 minutes remaining.

Earlier today saw the final chapter of the Belgian Golden era with them only managing a draw with the Croats and Morocco therefore finished top. Morocco play some good football and have some real weapons so good to see

Will be doing well to keep it within 3 goals.
Asian teams are mostly hot trash.
Far too easy for these garbage sides to qualify


2 Teams from the Asian Zone qualify for the Last 16 .....

That 2nd Japan goal to be allowed was an absolute disgrace. Can clearly see it was out - Someone’s a few $$ richer today surely after that…
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Hence why I said mostly.
Hopefully Croatia knock out Japan in the next round though
