Mexico have been produced one of the most toothless displays I have seen at this cup. Also we should buy Enzo Fernandez.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

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?
Often thought the same. They dont even have any other sports I can think of that they are good at.
Boxing doesnt count as too niche.

As someone said, they’re the international version of Wolves. Such a poor side. Do they have no strikers?

di Maria needs to start though. without him it's purely one person creating.
Sure, but someone earlier brought up Lo Celso's absence being what got them out of kilter and when Enzo came on he instantly removed that issue. The shape, the game control, the roles and responsibilities across the lines, suddenly it was all there again.

Can now use the game against Poland to nail it down proper

Wonder what Argentina will turn up against Poland. There's the potential there for a much better team... but you can tell they were all playing under so much pressure. Chance to play with some confidence in the next game?

They definitely need to start Paredes & Enzo together in midfield and Alvarez in for Lautaro to start with, but will be curious to see.

Lovely goal.

Main concern for Argentina is the lack of chances they’ve created. I’m not sure they quite have the shape of the attack sorted out.

De Paul is so pointless.
This argentina is so shit attacking wise, if you need individual brilliances to score 2 goals you know the attacking structure is shit

Hopefully, Argentina top the group otherwise one side of the bracket is far too lopsided.
