Argentina: He found them ... dark against the well-organized and tough defense of Iceland, staying in the tie in the group premiere. Nothing great in terms of appearance, with Sampaoli's team disappointing even its loyal fans. Leo Messi was fatal, missing a penalty while the score was 1-1. Several changes are expected from Sampaoli.
It should be noted that in its last 4/7 games (6 of them were friendly) it confirmed Over2,5.
Analytically the mission of Argentina:
Coach: Jorge Sampaoli
As a matter of fact, the "Argentine National" case is one with few specifics due to the ever-increasing demands that exist, and this is something that, among other things, has a significant impact on the chair sitting by the individual coach. For the sake of truth, do not go away, as long as it is recalled that only during the qualifying rounds, its current coach, Jorge Sababeoli, was the third in a row to be chewed out of the fire in order to make the qualifying affair .
In our humble view, this is an excellent coach and probably the most serious one we have seen on the Argentine national bench in recent years. In addition to aggressive football, his teams are distinguished, among other things, for the uninterrupted jogging and suffocating presching, which we saw both in his passage from Sevilla and much earlier in the Brazilian World Cup with Chile, which he led to the quarter-finals, initially qualifying from the second group at the expense of Spain (winning even the Spaniards among 0-2) before finally defeating Brazil's "16" in the penalty shootout

Croatian: It started with .. right in the tournament (2-0 Nigeria) however the unexpected departure of Kalinic seems to .. clouded the waters in her camp. The Milan striker reportedly refused to enter the field as a replacement for Mario Mandzukic in the second half of the 2-2 victory over Nigeria and instead, Marco Piazza came on. The 0-year-old international stayed on the bench for the 30th game in a row and claimed that he felt pain in the middle and that is why he was not able to help his team.
"During the match against Nigeria, Kalinic warmed up and was supposed to pass to the match in the second half. However, he stated that he was not ready to enter due to a problem in the middle. The same happened in the friendly with Brazil in England, as well as in Sunday's training. "I accepted it calmly and as soon as I needed my players ready to play, I made the decision," said coach Dalic.
In detail, the mission of Croatia:
Coach: Zlatko Dalsic
In what concerns the team coaches at this year's World Cup, we have the feeling that Zlatko Dalić is perhaps the biggest question mark for all, mainly because of his inexperience at this high level.
He took over the Croatian national team last October and was the one to finish his team's qualification but beyond that, his career includes clubs and championships that we can not say "first line". Rijeka, Slavin Bellupo and Dinamo Tirana some of his "stops" initially, while in recent years he worked in Asia in groups such as Al Faisali, Al Hilal and more recently Al Ain, which we should note that led to his final Asian Champions League.
Goalkeepers: Daniel Schubasic (Monaco), Lore Kalijnic (Ghent), Dominique Livakovic (Dynamo Zagreb).
Defenders: Vetman Tivorca (Lokomotiv Moscow), Domagoji Vinda (Besiktas), Ivan Strindic (Sampdoria), Dejan Lavren (Liverpool), Josip Pivaric (Dynamo Kiev), Sime Walsalko (Atletico), Tin Gevadai (Leverkusen) ).
Media: Luca Montros, Mateo Kovacic (Real), Ivan Racicic (Barcelona), Milan Barteli (Fiorentina), Marcello Brozovic (Inter), Philip Bradaric (Rijeka).
Aggressive: Marios Mantzukic (Juventus), Ivan Peritsic (Inter), Nicola Kalinic (AC Milan), Andrei Kramaric (Hoffenheim), Marko Piacza (Schalke), Ante Rebic (Eintracht).
Assessment: We will definitely have to wait to see how the incident with Kalinic will affect Croatia, however we believe that even so he is able to score against this Argentina. GG is possible.
