To any player who put the white and sky blue Argentina shirt. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
Even Gonzalo Higuain who cost us 3 finals(Not blaming him though, shit happens).
THANK YOU PIPITA!
Wasn’t he not retired. Wow this is genuinely surprising news for me.
This Burdisso played football for some of the Best clubs. He played for the best National Football Team.
What did do you do n achieve, Random Tard, to be this arrogant & claim “Who cares”.
Being an asshole is not a crime. But please try not to carry that as a badge of honour.
No one give a fuck about wherever he played he was always shit for argentina.
And your personal comment what have i achieved shows your shitty mentality.
So you better eat , mastrubate and sleep.
Mrinal – it’s time to change account. You have not really future here under the name. You did enough to be ‘bete noir’
You already figures in HALL OF SHAME. Right next to KidultHood and Csabalala
@Mrinal1235, sissy, what do you know about Burdisso? You were pooping in a potty when Burdisso was playing for La Albiceleste. C’mon pussy-hole, I think you need some huge cock in your pussy to make you stop shitting on former Argentine players. Don’t worry I have one for you, you fucking poofter!
@Dadir10 ok mrs grandmother i think when Burdisso starts playing u starts taking goalposts inside your ripped pussy u motherfucker.
@gonzalo You better keep your liked boy image by just manupulating the facts,
i dont need fake account, faking is your machination like your player gonzalo martinez faked his injury.
Some random tards asking “Who cares” when some great Argentina players retire from football.
This is a blog for Argentina football, discussion & news. Here we respect football players. We may be critical of many of them. But we respect them.
he lost respect when he fought with messi in 2011.
a respected player should not fight with his teammates.
Rumoured line-up against brazil:-
Romero; Bustos or Saravia, Pezzella or Funes Mori, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Paredes, Battaglia, Lo Celso; Correa, Dybala; Icardi
This is really better
the best from this squad
This line up is better. Although Scaloni still may change something after Iraq game. He may keep with 1-2 players who will be best against Iraq but are not in this supposed line up against Brazil.
this dadir10 is making fake account to troll me this duolingo10 is dadir10
Fake account?
Are you looking for someone to give you a shoulder to cry on? Sissy pussy, stop crying …hahaha
I know how how to deal with weak, wimp, and candy-ass like you, you fucking retarded wuss.
First learn how to deal with your ripped ppussy u motherfucker .
u motherfucker bastard, a slut from a fake pussy.
crying lol , shut up u son of a prostitute.
Wow, this thread quickly degenerated into ad hominem frenzy…
One of the overrated defender of Argentine football , talk too much nonsense , due to lack of quality defender getting chance after chance , I was very happy when he left out of the team….
Who cares?
Trolling? Burdisso put the Argentine shirt for many years. He earned respect.
“Who cares”
Little sissy, it’s obvious you don’t know who Burdisso is, coz he played for La Albiceleste way before you started watching football.
You little queer, football isn’t for you, so you better go somewhere else.
Two words for OVERHYPED and OVERRATED.
argentina has produced thousands of defenders like him, just wearing albiceleste jersey doesnt make him great.
But dadir10 you dont try to think about it your brain is in your ass.
Have you seen him play, mate?
batigol which moment of which match you want?
@duolingo10 You Mrinal1235?
Which thing are you talking about where he gifted a goal to brazil and venezuel in 2011 and 2007 or he fighted with lionel messi in dressing room in 2011.
“He won the 2001 FIFA U20 World Cup as well as olympic gold at the 2004 summer games”. That alone deserves respect. Your comment however reveals the limited scope of your football interest.
As I said this Mrinal is one big ignorant/arrogant.
Show some respect for the man
he played with a heart and bled for the t-shirt
@Mrinal, I think you want me to put my big cock in your fucking pussy in order your brain to function well.
Right? C’mon fucking slut!
atleast i dont need fake accounts to troll somebody you asshole.
Agreed with u Leandro..every Argentina’s player should be respect by fans..if u can’t support when they lose or drop..don’t support when they win..only true fans know what i means..
Burdisso, Samuel, Ayala, Sorin, Heinze, Zanetti, Collocini, any of them was better player than any defensive player of the past 10 years. It’s a big problem of youth development. We stop producing great defensive player. I am an old school guy who consider dribbling and passing are just secondary to a central back or fullback. A fullback should know better tackling than crossing. Today many football school don’t even teach the kids to tackle properly. Besides their tactical sense is also less developed vs 90s. As a result, we produce Otamendi type player, only good for a team which plays possession football.
The football standard changed so much, mostly influenced by Spanish or Barca football, with this obsession of holding the ball. It just destroy the traditional type players like tall forward and strong central back. Argentina should follow its own path. We had Sampaoli who wanted to imitate Spain and it was a total fiasco.
Burdisso was one of the overrated Argentina defenders of the past generation imo. Way too hyped in Argentina but didn’t live upto that expectations.
I agree, He was overrated, I think this is a proof that big club players don’t necessarily mean success in NT.
@canadienroyal, paisano (I live in Canada too) I mostly agree with you but I think Otamendi only recently adapted to possession style of football as a result of playing under Guardiola. Before that he was every bit old school in his defending (he was an absolute beast in Valencia). Even now he is good in tackle, albeit a bit reckless sometimes. Garay too was easily one of the best defenders in the 2014 WC. Pezzella is also more old school; he’s a good defender and will do well in a team that plays a deep defensive line.
From what I have seen from Sacloni so far is that he prefers much more direct approach to playing football and not just recycling possession a la Barcelona.
@eganche you telling the truth
You absolutely correct…
One thing some our friends here
In mundo re saying otamandi is
Rubish personally otamandi is
One of the underrated defenders
In world football.. I never see otamandi having realy bad game
In Argentina shirt except that Germany game back in 2010..
And that was maradona fualt
Coz he played him out of position .
Really? Burdisso a better defender than any of the current players?
He was a calamity, a ticking time bomb.
Burdisso and Coloccini were average defenders, Ayala great leader, but a bit overrated defender too, we were always outscored when he lead our defense in big tournaments crucial matches. Zanetti absolute world class, this type of full backs we lack. Sorin good player, Heinze the same, but technically rather bad.
