Cool...a great attack means a lot with no midfield and no support from wingbacks

Randomly switching to a back 3 Nice coaching move

Behind Messi sits

Meza
Acuna-Mascherano(lol)-Perez-Salvio
Tagliafico-Otamendibutcher-Mercado

Oh, but they have Aguero and Messi!

How is Dybala not starting over some of those shit players

gary lineker said that its the worst argentina he has seen in his lifetime and i agree
portugal have at least a few guys that can give penaldo a chance to do something

Agüero, Higuaín, Mascherano, Banega, Mercado, Di María, Dybala, Otamendi....

Come on man, they may not be at the same level as Germany/Spain/France/Brazil, but it's still a very decent squad. Portugal doesn't have as much talent.

The same Italy that started off with a very poor win against Ghana in their first game, and a draw against a USA that played half the game with 9 men in the second game?

(loved that second game btw... one of the best and most intense ones of that WC)

higuain is still celebrating his offside goal in 2014

mascherano is past it, di maria declined hard, dybala benched for whatever reason
i dont really rate the rest to be really honest

For sure it's up there
I honestly no idea what their game plan is on the pitch aside of passing to Messi who is marked by 3 or 4 at the touch of the ball. He isn't even allowed to turn LOL. Compare the space he's getting compared to Ronaldo before even criticizing Messi...
It's a shame his team can't do anything to help. It's really sad to watch....

Guerreirro, Carvalho, Moutinho, Silva, A. Silva, Joao Mario...give me those players any day over every player I listed that currently sits behind Messi including Biglia and Banega....that's my opinion of course (aside from Di Maria who started 1st game + Dybala who should be playing)

What sucks is reading comments about Messi being nothing w/o Barca players feeding him the ball - This pisses me off. I always ask myself if those people even watch the games...

Shouldn't be shocked though since it's coming from a Real Madrid fan....makes the same awful comments about Lebron in the basketball forum

2-0 gahna 1-1 usa 2-0 czech
1-0 australia
3-0 ukraina
2-0 germany
1-1 france

the only goals against was the own goal vs usa and the penalty from zidane.

and yes. there are similarities. if you call the 2-0 vs ghana poor, the 2-0 vs nigeria is it also. maybe you should rewatch those matches.

the 3-0 from croatia however was nice, but dont act like they play an offensive attacking football with thousands of chances. they are just fucking solid in every part of the team like italy in 2006

Fagner starting for Danilo(injured)

A Corinthian on the pitch...FML

happens if messi is responsible for the lineup, and not the coach

there is a reason icardi is at home, and dybala aint starting.

come on costa rica



yep
