Indeed.It's questionable to be honest.
Other than their big name non-performing front line, they don't really have much in either defense or midfield .
Otamendi aside, non of their defense or midfield are guaranteed starters in any of the Europe's top sides.
I'm not questioning it, I'm saying it openly that they don't have much talent in team bar their attackers.Are you really questioning the talent in the Argentine national team?
NahI fully believe Argentina will be a better team once Messi buggers off.
Yes.Indeed.
So you concede that they do have talent. Something that was questioned.Yes.
We are saying that the only supposed talent they have is in attack. And that doesn't even perform.
But the rest of the team wouldn't look out of place in a mid-table club . Compare them to the other serious contenders .
That's not what you said originally. "What talent" I believe it was.I'm not questioning it, I'm saying it openly that they don't have much talent in team bar their attackers.
Every team in this tournament does.So you concede that they do have talent. Something that was questioned.
yes, and?That's not what you said originally. "What talent" I believe it was.
And now you've backtracked and said "bar their attackers." Disappointing that I have to point that out to you.yes, and?
actually, I did point out that only Aguero and Messi are the ones who could have done something with ball today, so...And now you've backtracked and said "bar their attackers." Disappointing that I have to point that out to you.
You get the vibe he isn't chomping at the bit to be thereHe put too much pressure on himself. The way he played today, just not Messi. Trying to hard to dribble past player and shoot every single time. He made some nice tricks but they were pointless. Sad.
Left footers usually don't have variety in where they hit their penalties and hence are easier for keepers to read.Messi really needs to stop taking penalties. At this point you can’t call it anything but a mental block.
He's still fantastic at club level, pretty much carried Barca to the league title.Still a great player but far below what he was in 2012.
Surely not? It's the same areas to aim at whether I'm using my right or left foot, isn't it?Left footers usually don't have variety in where they hit their penalties and hence are easier for keepers to read.
Go and watch several left footers taking penalties. And count the number of times you are right about where they will place the ball. Years of watching and participating in penalty shoot outs has taught me that. Just like it's a myth that penalties are a lottery.Surely not? It's the same areas to aim at whether I'm using my right or left foot, isn't it?
Bullshit... I can place my penalties wherever I want.Go and watch several left footers taking penalties. And count the number of times you are rig Yummyht about where they will place the ball. Years of watching and participating in penalty shoot outs has taught me that.
you pathetic buffoon. I descend from a race of people who are masters of the art of penalty taking. So quit embarrassing yourselfBullshit... I can place my penalties wherever I want.
We are just a few (left footed), so maybe from a small sample u are getting big conclusions.
Shit penalty takers can be left or right footed.
PS. The only generalization I'll accept is that we are much more talented.
I read some stats some years ago, that left footers are worse when it comes to penalties.Bullshit... I can place my penalties wherever I want.

They just have two center backs playing at the first placed and second placed clubs in England. Iceland would be happy to have any player playing for clubs of that stature, Gylfi is their best player and he is just good enough for a side like Everton, failed when he had a shot at a semi-big club like Spurs.I'm not questioning it, I'm saying it openly that they don't have much talent in team bar their attackers.
This. I'm a big Ronaldo fan boy but I also love watching Messi play. He wasn't in his groove today and looked overly forced with a lot of things. Has it gotten to his head?He put too much pressure on himself. The way he played today, just not Messi. Trying to hard to dribble past player and shoot every single time. He made some nice tricks but they were pointless. Sad.
No way. For his legacy he needs to stick at the national team. Still a chance to win the Copa America and could even play at the next World Cup at 34.He should retire from the NT after the WC and only focus on Barca. Would be good for his career in terms of longevity
He doesnt care about the legacy, he is not a lunatic like the guys in the Messi vs Ronaldo thread. He should do whatever the feck he feels is the right thing to do. I dont think he cares half as much about Ronaldo as some think. Thats what media, the public and fans createdNo way. For his legacy he needs to stick at the national team.

If he quits, he’ll slip into Ronaldo’s shadow faster than you could imagine.
I agree that the media and fans create a big part of the narrative. Still, if you have a look at the both of them wanting a new contract every year after the other one just became the biggest paid player in the world, you can't help but feel how they envy one another.He doesnt care about the legacy, he is not a lunatic like the guys in the Messi vs Ronaldo thread.

Masch is one of the best pure DM in the last 5 yrs or so. Banega isn't that bad; he schooled our midfield that had Pogba and Matic. Then Otamendi and Rojo are playing for the best two teams in Premier League.I'm not questioning it, I'm saying it openly that they don't have much talent in team bar their attackers.
