Carlos Tevez was the highest paid player in the world playing somewhere in China. Nobody cared, it wasn't interesting. It was stupid. He moved back to Argentina and helped Boca win a title. Ronaldo should do that. This is a farce.

What a waste. 1. Still interesting to see if he can hack it in Europe. Who cares about Saudi Arabia? 2. Ridiculous amount of money to spend on the Saudi Arabian league. Might as well get a Haaland. 3. How can a Portuguese with zero ties to SA be their ambassador? The whole thing is bonkers.

Yep, those are the 3 big mistakes I spotted Otamendi make in the final. He also made 3 terrible mistakes against Australia and some other ones against Netherlands that I forgot. First thing you want from your CB is to not make mistakes.

Rewatched the match again and Argentina looks more dominant then I thought in real time. Deschamps solved a lot of the problems France was having in midfield with his subs but France was too offensive, unbalanced and Argentina had the better play. However, they have no nerves for some reason...

Netherlands is ranked #4 by elo. Quibble with their system but it is far better than your offhand comment which surely is based more on unappealing football rather than results. Argentina was the better team but it wasn't domination. They *dominated* #10 Croatia. They won handily versus #3...

They have plenty of good coaches but AFA is not going to pay close to what European clubs can pay. Also, Argentina is a political basket case which means the fight for power and money in government and in organizations such as the national football one is *brutal.* A domestic coach is in the...

And yet people were talking about how great the French team was. Well, they got dominated to be honest. It wasn't close. Same for Croatia. Only close match was Netherlands and even there they were the better side. In every single match they won in xG, including against Saudi Arabia.

Argentina have always had good shootout goalkeepers. Goycochea, Romero, Martinez. But they're not that good outside of that so this is nothing new. Martinez a bit better but he's not elite. Only a few good saves in the tournament, including the one at the end.

Why did Messi choose to shoot 2nd? I assume this was an instruction from Scaloni. Isn't it almost always better to shoot first?

Acuña can dribble and run on that left flank like Di Maria. Much worse in shooting and crossing and passing but better defensively. Really closest player to Di Maria they have. So it was as close as like to like. But when Argentina beginning losing the mid, he should have brought Paredes for...

I told you all that Di Maria was a world class player. Incredible morons supporting Van Garbage and his destruction of United.

Isn't Romero quite fast?

Are you aware that there is a cash prize for 3rd place?

For every Ronaldo, Modric, Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic, Messi, Dani Alves there are 5 players who have been totally done for awhile (e.g. Bale, Hazard, Fabregas, Suarez, Kaka, Iniesta). He is 37 for the love of god. At 37 Messi will be hobbling like an old man.

He's easily the best manager in the tournament. Not only is he did win the Copa, Finalissima, go on that huge streak, and get them in the final but had to do it building the team almost from scratch. Then his midfield comes in all broken and he finds solutions. Has the balls to drop big players...
