Sergio Romero is normally Argentina’s goalkeeper. The Manchester United backup picked up a knee injury before the World Cup, and, according to the FOX broadcast, he apparently felt like he would've been fit by the time the tournament rolled around.
But I digress. The reason I bring up Sergio Romero is because 36-year-old Wilfredo Caballero will likely shoulder most of the blame as to why Argentina aren’t going to be in the World Cup for very long. Yes, Croatia played almost a perfect game. Yes, Argentina have a lot more problems than Willy Caballero. But this will be the moment everyone remembers.
If you don’t know what a "howler" is, now you do.

You have to tip your cap to Rebic on the finish, but what in the world is old Willy doing?! It’s like his old leg didn’t have enough power to kick through the ball!
I also think that Caballero didn’t do a great job in the lone goal that Iceland scored.

Thanks, Willy. There are a lot of reasons why Argentina will likely bow out of this World Cup, but you will be the one everyone remembers.
