Mac Allister the only one with some quick and clever touches for Argentina. Everyone else needs a minute to decide, and even with that De Paul with among the worst midfield displays.

Correa for Di Maria
Paredes for Guido and
Enzo for De Paul

Worst half of football at the tournament so far. Argentina are hopeless and Mexico are there just to defend (yet have the only shot on target). The Argentina selection is as bizarre as it is uninspiring.

They look even worse than in 2018. How were these second favorites?

De Paul is terrible, Di Maria is completely over the hill, those Sevilla backs are meh and Otamendi is Otamendi.

Being from Uruguay, how would you feel about that?
About what? Them going out? I want Uruguay to win first and then any South American team. There's rivalry when we play but ultimately we have tonnes in common.

Others will say "anyone but Argentina" but it's not borne in anything other than sparing themselves the bragging.

Did De Paul Complete a pass from around the center circle all game? I have seen him mentioned here as a potential united target in the past, what is he good at? Because he's not very good at this football thing.
You my friend know football. I agree with you.

Mexico is clearly playing for a draw. What Argentina is planning for I don’t know.

True. I don’t get hype with him to be called as an elite striker. He is so poor in so many things.
I recall this post on him

Dribbles like Kaka
Shoots like Aguero
Headers like Cavani
Hustles like Rooney

Lautaro Martinez. The striker you didn't know we needed all along.The centre forward we want for the next 10 years.

A fast, two footed finisher who works hard. He's the finishing touch to our attack. He's got good link up play and drops in if needed to get the ball and carry it forward.

Inter still owe us £40m for Lukaku. Martinez himself wanted to go Barcelona but I doubt any of the Spanish teams can afford to buy him now.

:lol:

Argentina is going nowhere with this team except for out of the world cup.

Argentina really look like they're just terrified out there. Always happens to someone at a world cup. Crumble under the pressure

Di Maria giving the thumbs up to the ref for that freekick. Sort your own game out first you fraud

Mexico have been beyond awful in the last third this tournament. Every time they get the ball in a decent position they pass it to the opposition.
