- Start date
Weekend football has been enjoyable. Tomorrow really depends on how results toTomorrow looks like a fun day of football
Even without it, there is a fair amount of us that prefer Messi and always have.
I don’t think so either.
The absolute pain on here just cause Duke scored vs Tunisia is palpable.
When you look at the emotions in their celebrations, you will realize how much pressure this team is under. It's a pity they don't seem to have the quality to go all the way. There is a heartbreak coming.
Argentina’s biggest problem is probably they lack the quality of great midfields who can carry the ball forward or press resistant midfielders and another one would be too much turnovers and silly passes.
Their midfields face a big trouble against a pressing team.

Not counting Costa Rica, who wins the worst squad so far?
I think it’s between Qatar and Mexico.

Happy for Messi, but if Argentina continue playing like this he's not getting anything close to a fairytale ending. Two low percentage shots leading to goals and didn't create much else. Barely even looked like a team. Mexico offered nothing and got nothing in return.
Saudi's xG was historically low to be fair for a team scoring 2 goals. But you know, xG isn't an actual goal. It's also easier to build a team to be a defensive unit which Argentina are fully capable of and have proven to be, they aren't flush with attacking talent. The other problem with the Saudi game was Argentina picked some ultra soft teams in preparation for this tournament - purely to pump Messi's stats instead of keeping their focus in check.
Yeah. I'm not writing them off, but I think this tournament is mega open. But come the knockouts, 0-0 and 1-0's galore.
A draw does not guarantee Poland topping the group as SA can top it by winning mexico, and i think that SA has a better chance than people think
I think they lack pace. They’re ordinary in that department
Gotta give it to Mexico, at least Qatar got a goal
Argentina always make it so hard for themselves in World Cup. Job still not done yet, they still need to beat Poland. They are very lucky they are in this group with Mexico and Poland being so poor. Swap them with Germany in their group and I can't see them getting out.
Same here. Shitting bricks.
This one too
ITV waxing lyrical about Enzo. Price tag is now £100m unfortunately.
CONCACAF still waiting for their first win.
Win by 4 and they're sure to go through. Win by less goals and they have to rely on a Poland win or a big Argentina win.
Argentina looked instantly better with Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandes. I don't know why they don't start. Lautaro was really bad.
Mexico's "peformance" was unworthy of this competition.

Poland are dire but organised and have Lewa up top, wont be easy for Argentina.
Hopefully, Argentina pump Poland by a few and Saudi sneak into second.
I’m counting the Canada v Belgium and USA v Wales as wins.
It doesn't help that they don't get a lot of opportunities to try new players and systems. Especially with this world cup, where there were hardly any friendly matches and preparation time.
It's Qatar. After that it's between Wales and Mexico I reckon.
Think Erik did all he could to sign him in summer
Hopefully both Argentina and Saudi Arabia win their last group game.
They're used to get trashed by the media, so I don't think that will affect him haha
You can build a house now.
I have diarrhea!
Wouldn't give Saudi's a prayer against France
Yeah good point actually
Cameroon and Wales have to be up there.
Of course, but I’d rather see them qualify from the group than Poland. They play the more entertaining football and not afraid to have a go. Poland will just be a snorefest as they just sit back all game.
Group C is many things but if one thing I know for certain is that Mexico won't go through. They're an absolutely terrible side. Argentina made things hard for themselves.
Good thing they’re not in the same group then.
They'd give them a better game than either of Poland or Mexico.
Yeah that is very true
Talking about the second round
Yes, also the team selection is always poor which doesn't help. Most players have no composure. Very few match winners. Going to be no way near the trophy.
