    Michael: Messi has been poor. Just a shame no manager in the world would have the bottle to substitute him

    Clive: The burden of expectation from the country surely weighs Messi down? He never looks completely happy playing for them..

    Argentina 1-1 Iceland

    Sub Cristian Pavon is instantly into the action, going into the area and going down. He wants a penalty! The referee says no. He thinks it's a dive in fact.

    Well, that looks like a pretty contentious call to me...

    Argentina 1-1 Iceland

    Iceland captain Aron Gunnarsson comes off for Ari Skulason, while Argentina bring on Cristian Pavon for the ineffectual Angel di Maria. We saw the Van Gaal Di Maria today.

    Into the last knockings. Lionel Messi's free-kick hit the wall and you'd have to say that he hasn't had a good day. Yet.

    Messi has missed 21 of 86 penalties for Barcelona by the way. Probably the only player in the world who would rather have to dribble from halfway, one-on-one. He'd score every time.

    There are some tired legs in the Iceland team as Birkir Bjarnason gives away another foul. Lionel Messi spots up the free-kick as I read that he has missed four of his last seven penalties...

    Not bad, not brilliant. Messi has five World Cup goals. The same as Geoff Hurst or Lukas Podolski.

    Jack: Every time Messi misses a penalty we're reminded that's he mortal too

    Chris: Ronaldo steps up to the mark under pressure. Messi fails once again.

    Trevor: Oh dear, Messi can’t even score from the penalty spot today. Maybe this is not Argentina‘s day?

    Still the best part of 25 minutes to go in Moscow. The wave of pressure laps at the Icelandic shore but they don't look too troubled. What a moment that save was.

    What sort of honours will be bestowed upon Hannes Halldorsson back home?

    Ash: Even for Messi that’s a poor penalty. Continues to be mediocre in tournaments for Argentina

    Philip: By the hammer of Thor, what a save

    Jez: Soft pen anyway so justice done

    That's an absolute cracker of a save. Halldorsson has flown to his right, people will say it is a good height for him but Messi gets lots of power on the strike.

    I've no stats to back this up just yet but it feels like Lionel Messi misses an awful lot of penalties doesn't it?

    Iceland are back up to XI as they bring on Rurik Gislason.

    Argentina 1-1 Iceland

    Down to 10 men momentarily, Iceland just got out of shape and a rash, clumsy challenge from Hordur Magnusson brings a penalty. A shove in the back.

  17. ouch!

    Argentina 1-1 Iceland

    Burnley winger Johann Gudmundsson has tweaked something making a tackle and that's his match over - he trudges off down the tunnel before Iceland can ready the sub. Down to 10 for now.

    Ever Banega now fancies a shot from the edge of the area but it's brilliantly blocked.

    Argentina have had 77.7% of the ball so far today. In the famous Euro 2016 defeat, England had 68. Iceland are used to this.

    Thing have gotten much better since Ever Banega has come on.

    The passing is much quicker, they are zipping it around which is harder to defend.
