It’s a tough one considering how abysmal we are across the pitch, but if I had to pick one, has to be Wazza. The absolute single minded determination to win, the energy/rallying effect on the team and the crowd, the selflessness and so much more. He would pop up everywhere and win you moments in...

Ole, vibes and counter… probably the only thing that can stop Sir Pep and the treble. On a serious note, I think we might stand a better chance playing Ole ball in the final. I am hoping ETH has made notes.

Only that the poor team fell apart because we looked like a completely different side in the 2nd 45, in which Sancho had a huge role to play. You make it sound like we were coasting and Sancho just rode the wave. Our play completely transformed and Sancho played a key part. I can see him hitting...

To be fair to the Sporting fellow, from whatever little I have followed the caf, he has been a polite nuanced poster for the most of it. I haven’t seen him downplay Messi’s achievements too often. Never seen him act snobbish either about Ronaldo’s supposed supremacy. That said, the last few...

I am a little surprised how others haven’t really shared this POV. Look at who they have played so far, and you clearly see Argentina would do and look much better against the “fancied” sides. I understand how people might be slightly underwhelmed with what they have seen so far, but there is...

It’s standard practice to lump the 2 of them on the same side of the spectrum, just to counter balance the narrative. People almost forget that Messi has even “passed” a penalty kick allowing Suarez to complete his hattrick. Staying on topic, if Dybala were playing, he would probably be first...

The 4-3-3 and Alvarez/Enzo inclusion really made Argentina look like a different kettle of fish. Kind of peaking at the right time for me, and will be a handful in the knockouts. Messi looked up for it today, if only he had his shooting boots on.

Some people saying Messi has had a poor game lol! Anyway, Argentina are going to surprise a lot of nay sayers here if they make it to the knockouts. Enzo has been in fine form at both ends of the pitch. What a player!

IMO, it’s a slightly risk averse, conservative call. With Lo Celso missing, I would have preferred a midfield 3 of Paredes or De Paul/Enzo/Mac Allister depending on opponents. For me, even with the limited sample size, Enzo looks like their most complete midfielder. Hopefully it’s not a Messi in...

Thank you Cheimoon. The mod that newbies need, but don’t quite deserve lol! Have a great rest of the day.

Difficult to look past Neymar, probably coming in to the World Cup as the most in form player. Has arguably outshined both Messi and Mbappe this season. My money is on him for not only the Golden boot but also the golden ball. Heart says Messi though :)

IMHO, he has handled this Ronaldo situation exceedingly well. I can only think of how Mou or Ole would have tackled this (2 extremes), and it makes me even more confident that we have got the right man. People saying he made a poor decision giving Ronaldo the captaincy, don’t realise he played a...

Would you put him higher up your list if not for the Spanish NT duties?
