These subs have brought some energy to Argentina.
Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico

Molina should have done better
Oh yeah, forgot Poland got gifted a second.
Why don't Mexico play Jimenez? A focal point would be huge for Mexico to play off of
Rotten defensive sub.
He doesn’t have much to work with to be honest. Poor generation of players
he barely scores in open play.
Fortunately for Argentina, Mexico are completely toothless in attack.
Is a penalty a great goal?
Wonder why no one else has thought of this in the last 20 odd years.
and it's not even close!
Didn't Ronaldo score a penalty?
Saudi lost 2-0 today, they're -1.
Taking off Di Maria, this coach.
2 penalties?
If Argentina win the group, their hardest opponent leading up to the semi's would be Netherlands. It could really open up for them.
Finish runners up and you face France in the Round of 16 then most likely England in the quarter's.

Don’t think Mexico have created a chance the whole tournament yet
And a daisy cutter the keeper could’ve probably done better on

Not many decent teams in this tournament.
Now time for the full Simeone works and about 12 minutes of added time. 
The dive to gain that penalty was skillful
Stu Holden once again on point - Mexico were playing for a scoreless draw versus having a go.
It was a great penalty.
Mexico have been absolutely terrible all tournament. It's like they don't even want to be here.
I was making fun of myself you muppet. Get a grip and read the posters names more carefully
Unless they seriously up their performance level Argentina will get brushed aside by a decent team.
Mexico are horrible. They’ve never been this bad. Why bring off Lozano?
It is when you win do all the the work to win the penalty and then score the penalty.
And if someone asks how and why Mexico fell off to 3rd among CONCACAF teams, tell them to watch Canada and USA playing with more purpose.
Mexico look devoid of creativity, picking the pass, retaining possession when pressed, lack of footballing IQ. They're bad.
Otamendi is absolutely imperial
He didn't help with his squad selection. He lost ou on recruiting pepi and didn't call chicharito which is baffling considering our striker situation. Not to mention this half, absorbing all that pressure and not making any subs until after the goal. He's clueless.
Their midfield is so trash.
Even so, you are too harsh with yourself, a goal doesn’t change your excellent analysis
.Alvarez has made a big difference up front
How are Mexico not a bigger footballing nation?
More than twice as many inhabitants as Argentina. Is football not their biggest sport? How do they not produce a world class player every now and then?

Picked it up now. Shows you what a goal can do to your confidence.
I was wondering this. My guess is lack of investment.
