Argentina want to win against everyone."I hope that the Croatia game can be better." Javier Mascherano indicated Iceland's defensive tactics caused problems for Jorge Sampaoli's side."It's not the best feeling," Argentina's record appearance holder said."We wanted to win, we tried everything and we could not. It's never easy to play the first game, but you have to keep going. "This is just beginning, it's not allowed to fall, but it has not been our day."We knew of the difficulty with a rival who defends with people back, very close."We made it all uphill, we thank the fans and we ask them to continue supporting us. we are going to need them."</blockquote>
