Halftime: Iceland 0-0 Croatia That’s all, for now. Iceland has had a terrific second half of the first half, and probably deserve to lead. As it stands, one goal is all they need!
If Iceland and Argentina both win, it would come down to goal difference, with Argentina needing to win by at least one more goal than Iceland to overhaul them.
As it stands, Argentina are just one up, so Iceland just need one. But a draw will not do.
Croatia, who are the classier outfit, started the better, Iceland was a little too respectful. But once they settled, they looked more dangerous, and they created better chances. Croatia, who made 9 changes for this match, are only sporadically engaging. Iceland wants it bad.
Iceland flexing their muscles at the fag end of the first half. Gunnarsson hits it cleanly from outside the box and the Croatian keeper tips it away for a corner. End of a pretty dull half (compared to whats happening in Argentina vs Nigeria game). In case you haven’t heard, Messi scored at last. Iceland has 45 minutes to sneak a win and set the cat among the pigeons.
