Di Maria, Messi, Aguero and Higuain, dear lord, wouldn't want to be the team that has to defend against that.

I wouldn't want to be Iranian if they played loving Sealand.

i suppose they theoretically might if the wind was incredibly strong maybe?

There was a team, maybe Portugal?, that switched this wc so they would avoid having the sun in their eyes.

If you get tackled by the ref you're most likely heading nowhere and gonna lose the ball anyway

This would be a good way to make the game funnier for the americans imo, make the refs like the house robots in Robot Wars, have them gently caress up everyone who gets too close.

Didn't watch the game, but I see Argentina are winning 1-0

I take it Messi and Aguero have been running circles around Iran and somehow they've been unlucky to only score 1

Yeah Iran are pretty unlucky this game

From the wikipedia on tiki-taka: "Tiki-taka is associated with flair, creativity, and touch,[24] but can also be taken to a "slow, directionless extreme" that sacrifices effectiveness for aesthetics.[22]"

These attributes seem like they would make for a more interesting game - and certainly, I found Argentina's play to be entertaining.

As for the doping thing, Messi has GHD and internet sources seem to agree that he is no longer taking human growth hormone. Given that it was for a legitimate disease, I cannot personally hold it against him without further evidence.

Obviously this does not excuse the rest of Barca.

If I should take this discussion to the newbie thread, I would do so happily. However, that thread seems like a joke and i know enough about football that I don't feel quite at home there.

You should take it to the dedicated tiki taka thread in this forum op
