De Paul playing worse than Mount yesterday
Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Argentina skating on really thiiiiin ice: not only flat and boring like pampas, also without a proper target man upfront.
Beggars belief how Garnacho wasn’t selected for this shite.
So he’ll play still when he’s 39?
Tbf that’s what he has always done
Argentina should make some changes at half time this isn't working. Maybe put Messi as CF and take off Latauro for more creative players like Dybala and Alvarez. Would also be tempted to bring someone like Palacios on who can pass between the lines.
Mac Allister is the best player on the pitch.
Anyone got a decent river, please PM me. Thanks.
You know when Utd fans were continually frustrated at Fred and McT starting year after year. This is why, quality of midfield options is garbage at the moment in the world game.
feisty damn match so far....exactly what you would expect from these two countries when playing each other
Great block
How did they go 36 games unbeaten? They look painfully awful to me.
La Pampa
Good progression there by McAllister
Argies really need De Paul to stop giving the ball away every time he gets it

Argentina looks shit. They don't know what to do going forward.
Ref whistled for half time because the ball went to De Paul
HT 0-0. Draw is a good result for Mexico as they beat Saudi in the last game and they qualify.
Messi isn’t in his explosive prime, he hasn’t got the ability to make something out of nothing for this team anymore. But even if he was, he wouldn’t be able to bail them out of every match so they’d be knocked out by the first decent team they meet in the KOs.
It was an Alan Partridge quote!Give over. He was even announcing them in the correct order, the keeper and the whole backline were all Kims.
Could probably do the same with a Welsh rugby team and Jones/Williams.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
That is my feedback about this half of football.
That is my feedback about this half of football.
it's not that I watched 100 games of him, but I always thought of Lautaro as a player similar to Tevez, energetic, fast, keeps defenders busy. but he plays like Koller/Inzaghi again. ghost.
Has Ochoa even had a save?
Hope they don't go out in the group stages then
You should press onto your chest what you’re trying to say.
A sort of primitive version of Stephen Hawking’s voice box…
I mean, the good thing about him is, he was clear.
Di Maria looks a shadow of the player he used to be
Messi could play deeper in midfield. Argentina lack a pay maker on the ball and he has no acceleration to be in the forward line anyways.
struggling to keep awake..
probably saved him from another terrible momentWhat is Lautaro supposed to be good at?
I think he has gone on strike.
Seriously, what was good about this team was they all took care of their respective jobs and areas of the pitch and worked towards putting it on a plate for Messi around the semicircle outside the box. He would take it from there.
We are now going back to "Oi, Lio, you need to drop down to midfield and dribble your way past 3-4 players" and he is having none of it
Martinez has been good but Martinez has been terrible. Martinez just so-so
Maybe the should sub Messi?
Argentina should try to get Dybala on in the 2nd half, he has been good for Roma this season despite the injuries.
That was a horrific half of football. If Argentina get knocked out tonight, then well deserved & good riddance as they look honking.
Which dont say much. Best of the shite
Dont watch Argentina enough to commentate but my observations would be
- Bin Di Maria, you can't carry both him and Messi. Aside from Lautaro there's no pace, get Correa on to stretch the game and dribble at players
- Bin De Paul. He's in horrible form. Anyone that can pass 10 metres forward is an upgrade

Which one?
No way, he isn't obsessed with individual records like Ronaldo
This is his last World Cup for sure, dude has no leg already at 35, no way he extends his career with 4 more years of this, Ronaldo is more cynical about being washed, he doesn't care about playing well as long as he scores a tap in.
