All three of Lionel MESSI, Sergio AGUERO and Lautaro MARTINEZ start for Argentina.
Coach Lionel SCALONI has once more gone with a new and different starting line-up. Renzo SARQVIA and Sergio AGUERO are both back. Here’s the starting eleven:
ARMANI; SARAVIA, FOYTH, OTAMENDI, TAGLIAFICO; DE PAUL, PAREDES, LO CELSO, MESSI, Lautaro, AGUERO
Good line up and good result for Arg NT. Scaloni fix the problem tactical before this. But against Venezuela ” The Tango “most carefully their defend and midfield. De Paul and Peredes could be stay as a RM and DM. De Paul have 91 touch ball and Peredes 87 touch ball this game.
Possible line up vs Venezuela
Armani
Saravia
Pezzela
Otamendi (Mori)
Tagliafico
Peredes
De Paul
Lo Celco (Dybala)
Messi
Aguero
Lautaro (Maria)
Scaloni must use all player in Copa only Mori didnt play in Copa with( 2 GK)
Many player Arg is good in Copa squad but Scolani must choose for tactical and balance for any games.
This was like Guatemala comfortably beating Nicaragua. The amount of easy giveaways on both sides was sad to watch. I have been watching Argentina since the late 80s and have to say this is not only the worst, but an unbelievably low level that I would not have believed it if I didn’t watch it myself.
Feel sorry for the fans who travel to watch this shitshow, for Messi’s legacy, and for young players future. Other than that, in true honesty, this team does not deserve a place in Copa’s final 8.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/copa-america/1123532/5-players-argentina-should-have-picked-for-the-copa-america/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjA1vGs24DjAhUCYo8KHVi9DxIQFjAEegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw22hseKXFHI5Sgxsdzb8Qgk&cf=1
Some of those players in that list (Romero and Banega) are past their prime, and their “replacements” at least can showcase potential and grooming for 2022 WC. Rulli is not significantly better than Armani and if he can take the next step, might make the team. I would still pick Armani over the available pool at the moment.
The real head-scratchers at first glance are Icardi and Gomez. Gomez can be explained, he wanted to play for Italy, petitioned FIFA and lost. That in itself would not have sat well with AFA, so it’s mostly political. Icardi can possibly be explained due to his personal feud with Maxi. But I don’t believe that’s really the case since Icardi seems to shine only with excellent wingers and creative midfielders. He’s a false-9 and if anyone had watched Inter, you can see he’s least bothered with the build-up, and low on mobility. Maradona considers Icardi to be average and has mocked his style of play as not befitting worth (also mocked him for the ability to sleep with friends’ wives, ahem).
On the other pitch, Paraguay defeated lol. Still Arias shows he is better than Medina. If he in our NT it would be more better.
I think 4321 will work better against Venezuela. Dybala and Messi together behind one of Aguero/Lautaro. Else stick with 4312.
Going for 4231 or 442 will give more solidity at the back….but it will make less potent in attack…!
Aguero was given the MVP on this match by WhoScored, Paredes comes 2nd, and Lautaro 3rd.
1. Aguero landed the most shots in this game, 6 shots, followed by Lautaro with 5 shots.
2. Aguero is the 2nd most success dribbler in this game with 3 drib. beyond Abdelaziz Hatim (5 drib.)
Using full potential, this 4_2_3_1
will be a good option against solid teams…I feel.
Peredes—-Guido
Messi —-Dybala —-De Paul/Acuna
Kun
Going with Peredes alone will be suicidal against teams a bit tougher than Venezuela. If we can have Dybala & Messi together for a 16 min… Why can’t it be for a 60 min and unleash the fire power ! And later bring Lo celso for more balance.
I am not a fan of Scaloni types, but he deserves credit for learning from Obvious mistakes, which itself was too much to expect from madmen like Sampoli. I won’t be surprised if he really try Dybala & Messi in coming matches. That will be something really interesting.
So we qualified and now we face Venezuela.
Aguero was man of the match.
Even the first goal came because Aguero pressed the defender who then made a mistake.
Impressed by Foyth.
Impressed by Acuna.
Impressed by L.Martinez.
Dybala was decent with an assist.
But honestly, neither De Paul, nor Parades impressed me.
Why not Di Maria? Instead of Lo Celso, I would have substituted either De Paul or Paredes, or may be both.
Because maybe you are watching Africa Cup of Nations earlier.
El deigo fan : Wtf de Paul played bad !!!!!!!!, Hold my beer.
He is ok, but I prefer di maria.
I cannot come up with a positive from theses 3 games: this team is shaky in defense and has no clue how to move the ball forward and worse of all Messi looks like he has given up.
The only one moment of brilliance was Dybala quickly passing the ball forward to Aguero (unlike everyone else who look around, pause then pass the ball backwards) then Aguero running forward with it. But this was against a weak team that played a horrible game even for their own standards.
It’s a very strange thing ,that the pitches are really worse in this copa 2019, it was much better in wc 2014 , clean and smooth, but this time , it really ugly and crooked all over . It’s really hard to move the ball and keep the flow in these kind of pitches.
What do you guys think?
Brazil did not budget well. The fields are in bad shape. Also my friend s that are at the matches said that the organisation of this tournament isnt very good. He also said the prices for games are too expensive and stadiums are half empty.
Stadiums almost empty , looks like , people have come to watch training sessions.
Forget half LOL.
I feel like all the pitches that Argentina has played in, are beyond horrible, the sitter that messi had, when he went to go shoot the ball bounced.
2nd goal of Argentina proves why Aguero is the best striker at the moment
Aguero- great goal. He was defending all second half if you guys were watching women’s world cup
Lauturo- very attentive, the reason he was able to snatch up Qatari mistake and score. Also defended
Messi- always intimidating although he did not contribute much, his presence was enough today
Paredes- solid in position, he did well in case u were watching women’s match
Foyth, didn’t play terrible but missed many defensive marks and could have been red carded.
Tagliafico- solid game, he won his position out right
Otamendi- he may have started doing drugs. He is in a different world when defending, and I don’t mean a good different world
Depaul- good match again from him.
Dybala- happy he was able to get the sub. Not much from him but he needs a chance.
Saravia- not bad, but also not good.
Overall we had better movement today, but our defense was shaky and undisciplined. We are lucky it was Qatar today and not Paraguay.
Vamos, on to Venezuela!!!!!!
Positive from today’s match is messi playing on midfield. It’s true noone does infront of goals like messi on other hand noone does like messi in midfield too, so it’s always better to keep messi infront goals but when messi doesn’t get services and drop deeps ultimately reduce goal scoring chances. There are many Argentina player with goal scoring ability but not a world class midfielder who gives through ball or control the game. Messi is no more younger so it’s useless to play messi on right wing, better messi to play no10 position with two forwards upfront is the best possible line up, with this condition both messi and Dybala can play together where given at the current form lautaro and Aguero should start
Completely agree. Have been saying this all tournament our best forward is Messi and our best midfielder is also Messi.
Given we have superstar forwards and less so in midfield, makes more sense to drop Messi in midfield. He will still get opportunities to score goals like he did today
I agree.
Even though Barcelona needs Messi as forward because it already has excellent midfield. Argentina needs Messi as midfielder, because it already has strong forwards.
Argentina always do well when Messi drops down to midfield and is supported by good forwards up front.
It is true Messi did not have a good game.
But this shows this Argentina team CAN play decent football and score goals without a Messi masterclass performance – something we’ve relied on A LOT.
This kind of team performance ontop of a Messi masterclass can win us tournaments.
I hope Higuain was watching Martinez teaching how to score gifted opportunities.
I’m least worried about Leo. Don’t take these kind of matches to suggest his slow down. If there is at least a bit improvement in movement from the team, he will be there.. I hope Venezuela match will be a great opportunity.
Let them practice now with less pressure & let them get some chemistry back..
Nothing to worry about leo.
Need a bit more fluidity from the central mid zone… Acuna & De Paul are good in creating width. Saravia has a lot to improve.
Kun & Messi looked terrible together. May be pressure played a role there. They will be fine… Rest of the team especially central mid & RB need a lot more hard-work
I just have to admit one thing today, that is , 16 mins of dybala was dangerous than 90 min Messi .
This is the creativity we have been missing on the last games that is : dybala
He dribble , that almost no look audacious pass to aguero and almost dribbling through two Qatar players and sliding the ball past another one to create a chance for Messi .
Dybala showed what he is , he plays simple but effective passes .
Is this the starting of messi-dybala ……?????
Vamos vamos to all mundolites , we did it .Big hug to everyone.
Tagliafico, Paredes & De Paul have been really good today;
Foyth was better than Otamendi.
Messi had a bad game. Lautaro & Aguero did their job;
Saravai, Lo Celso aren’t upto it;
Subs were good;
The pitch wasn’t good; Against Paraguay too, it wasn’t good;
Just forgot about most importnant. We did that without Messi doing it for us.
He created many chances today ,spent most of the time in midfield far away from final third ,yes he was not that exceptional but not upto his mark
That’s not important bro. We all know how good Messi is.. him going a bit down is not something to be worried… The big positive was Argentina won a crucial game without much Lionel Messi in it… That itself is Historical for Argentina of recent times.
Still waiting for Paredes judges and haters
clear proof that quality players if persisted will click with time.
It was already discussed here…Paredes as single DM will never work… against big team. Against Qatar…it may work…we already discussed here.
Nobody against Paredes he’s in best form in this copay. But he has to play in 442 or 4231
Againts big teams Lo Celso will be benched, not Paredes.
That doesn’t make him single DM against big team. It doesn’t have any relation with LoCelso. May be Guido and Parses will work.
This match, you would see how much De Paul busting his own lungs to help defense. It is more likely De Paul had an access to roaming overall in midfield. Even Paredes in single DM was helped by De Paul performances. I think against everyone will still the same if they could display what De Paul did as Paredes pair.
It may work if there is 2 BB MF covering him all the time. Today De Paul did that and Lo Celso tried but his Acuna executed that masterfully. Lo Celso will be better next match.
Might work against Venezuela as well! But I won’t risk him alone.
Guido Peredes with DePaul & Acuna can do some goods for the team.
“Dear Mundo Haters, SSSHHHHHHHHHHH” – Kun
Yes…miss many….and score one….it’s not Kun…Kun lost… somewhere… please bring him back…
🤫🤫 thats all i said to my brasilian buddies that were talking all kinds of sh***
Paredes needs to play, the only midfielder who is pressure resistance in this team, plus Messi if he comes back in midfield. Btw he will go back to Russia, so flopped badly in PSG, just like Lo Celso, but still the only one in this aspect, sadly ARG still dont have close to world class midfielder.
Btw De Paul plays great, nothing exceptional, but very complete midfielder.
In which team Pavard plays, who scored the equaliser for France against us? Is he world class? No, not yet. Did anyone know him before that nightmare goal? No. But he scored the goal mattered most. U don’t need 11 superstars to build a team. U need a system a players to execute that system.
he will be the backbone of Bayern Munich for years man, but our biggest midfielder talents fail in the big clubs over and over and over again
De Paul don’t need big club to be outstanding. This man will be more usefull for us in near future than most of our big club names.
he needs to play in Inter under Conte or in Napoli, and regularly!!!
You will see how good Paredes is next season. And i’m agree with Gonzalo. No need big clubs to make De Paul class.
french papers neirly clarified Paredes will go back to Russia, very sad i hope this is not true
Hes an excellent player in 442 and 4231. He has to move in a club where they play this system.
yes France have superstars plus future superstars, only Giroud is system player, but still the EL top scorer and plays in Chelsea, again in Chelsea!!!…btw Benzema could do his job easily even much better, but Deschamps hates him.
Thomas Tuchell is the worst coach u will ever find. So, as long as he is there, no player will perform up to the mark.
Di Maria performs
Lol Tuchel put Paredes in 3-5-2 system. LMFAOOO 😂😂
1.Tell Otamendi..don’t give backpass to Armani…and don’t be silly when passing…this is not the league game….any small error will push you out from the tournament.
2. It’s Dybala not Saurez as sub.
3. Messi misses his magic…need to get it back…to win the cup
4. Aguero unbelievably lost… finally he provided much needed goal. He has to be real Aguero.
5. LoCelso recovering the ball well…but he hold the ball too much time…that make opponent to block his passes..
6. Otamendi and Foyth.. giving penalties..and free kick in dangerous position..this is their weakness. I fear they will cost us in KO.
7. Lautaro, DePaul and Tagliafico fought well. Paredes done better. Armani and Saravia..ok.
on point man
I’m feeling pure joy and happiness! Messi did not have a good day at office but the other players stepped up in the most crucial match. So glad to see that. To me, it’s obvious that Lautaro is the main striker to build future upon. Paredes impressed, don’t think I have seen him this good in any important match. Aguero did good, sure he missed a couple of sitters but he did his job right. Even Armani looked solid. Scaloni made good subs, leaving me wanting to see more of Dybala-Messi-Aguero co-ops.
Hopefully, this was the turning point for Argentina, and if we beat Venezuela, we will probably face Brazil in semis in Belo Horizonte, which is ground zero for Brazil (7-1 vs Germany WC14). Anything can happen there. Let’s bring the goddam copa!
They played with intensity. Argentina always possessed good DM’s and always play by winning midfield battle. Today they did that. They pressed till the 90th minute. Pitch condition was poor. Scaloni made 3 good subs. He is learning definitely. He didn’t have the experience but he is learning quickly. Messi tried a lot but his execution was poor. Most importantly, the team didn’t look for messi today, whenever they got the ball. Instead they played like a team, especially after Acuna came in. But, Qatar is not a formidable team, neither they can be overlooked. So, we have to keep improving. Paredes distributed long ball quite well today. De Paul ran a his heart out. Dybala should be super sub.
Armani’s positioning was brilliant today. The penalty save boosted his confidence. It seems we should back him in his good times and bad times.
In a good pitch they would be lethal if they play like this.
Vamos Argentina
I guess Against Venezuela we can continue the experiment , ie, without 2 Defensive mids, safely.
A solid play with 4_4_2 might be good enough to beat Venezuela in 90 mins.
Saravia (because no better option).
Otamendi & Foyth (Give him one more chance! )
Tagliafico
De Paul
Lo Celso
Peredes
Acuna
Kun & Messi.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but our MOTM is Scaloni.
Great starting line up (shows he’s learnt from previous games) and great substitutions.
This game proves Dybala CAN play at the same time as Messi.
“This game proves Dybala CAN play at the same time as Messi”.
Not really. Dybala was ON fire because Messi was OFF fire. LOL
Messi was one of our best player no doubt… but we are expecting him to be MESSI…not another good player.
have u watched the game?
Messi was probably the worst player today..
believe me it hurts me to say that cuz I’m an absolute fanboy of Messi…
but today he lost the ball all the time he didn’t track back or run at all.. we’re almost playing with 10 men only
Thats because you expect him to be MESSI…consider him as an ordinary player and watch again…then hes one of our good player….But his magic missing.
great choice taking Lautaro off, who was running all the time cuz of Messi n Aguero, and keep Aguero who finally scored….
Great pass by Dybala.
Dybala should have come on for Messi…
I’m a huge Messi fan but that was just horrible of him… Good choice to take Lo Celso out because of the yellow…
Let’s now please stick to those players for the game against Venezuela
vamooossss
Foyth and Saravia not playing well today, Messi was not at his best, Otamendi was risky a lot. Other than that, I think we’re all good.
Pezella over Foyth is a no brainer. Saravia shld still be continued though he disappointed today. Waiting to see Locelso peak – then NT will be a treat to watch
That was Aguero typical goals. He isn’t a true target-man that stand still, but he suppose more his own way to scores some goals.
Dybala brings fluidity, and Acuna proves width and some good tap-ins. Pezzella is funny when wasting time lol.
Give Paredes or De Paul MVP please.
Both were superb
Paredes keep proving a lot
People wrong well done
Him taglafiaco de pual
Trust me, Paredes is a slow-starter and he must have much chances. You will see him bossing Ligue 1 next season.
I know bro he great player
But people always judge one
Game or few games
Let’s hope we keep improving
ACUNA…. !!!
Some of guys in here are criticizing Messi for that horrible miss. please don’t doubt Messi. He will prove you all wrong. The pitch might be bad but sometimes Messi also plays human level football. Glad that we made through after rough start. Hats off to scaloni today. He made right subs at right time. I’m sure we will see a different Argentina in Knock outs.
I’ a huge Messi fan but today was just nothing man…
no dedication from him for his country he should’ve been subbed
It’s hard for me to say that. But this so far is not Messis copa.. I really hope he is proving me wrong
let’s go now
yeah man. I know Messi is poor tonight. But don’t doubt his game changing abilities. He will step up when needed. I’m not saying this is an excuse but the pitch was poor today. Messi and most of the European players are not used to these kind of pitches. His magic hasn’t lost. When we starts to doubt Messi, he will prove everyone wrong in the next game.
Acuna brought directness in the game for argentina.
Surprised by not Suarez substitution seems Suarez failed to satisfied scaloni last night on bed.
Oh, dear Romance You’re always so romantic 🙂 Your head is full of love
Sources suggest Otamendi locked Suarez somewhere during half time break.
Romance we all love you👍😂😂
Happy with the win. Best moment was the pass from Dybala to Aguero. Finally a player who doesn’t play a backball in that position. Dybala made an overall good impression.
The 2-0 win however covers a lot of worries. In the first half the Qatari’s could cross the pitch like there was no midfield at all. Add to that a shaky defence and we’re in trouble against a better opponent.
The Qatari’s did not press our players, they all had 2 or 3 meters to control the ball. Unreal in today’s world. They even left Messi unmarked. He had acres of space and we still managed only 2 goals, one of which was a mistake by our opponent.
With Acuna and Dybala we looked and played better. We need to build on this and need to avoid Brazil, Chili and Uruguay in the next round.
Next match against ?
Venezuela . time for revenge
Next match:
Armani/Saravia Pezella Otamendi Tagliafico/Paredez DePaul Acuna/Dybala Messi Arguero
– Acuna is way better than Lo Celso. Lo Celso is completely useless in our system.
– DePaul is our B2B CM.
– Dybala is in good form. His dribbling and passing is what we need.
And you want to sub Lautaro with Dybala?
Dybala as supersub still a good option for me till next
Ya exactly bro..lo celso not bad but acuna better..
to me play the same 11. Acuna & Dybala are subs. Let it be that way. but I am disappointed that Saravia not being able to advance . had great hopes on him blossoming this tournament . Not worried on Locelso. He will peak in knockout. playing a team role now. Great to see DePaul progress & glad Aguero silenced his NT critics for once.
not sure about Lo Celso…
he does a lot you don’t see I promise u.. But it was absolutely the right time to bring Acuña he brought width
couple quick takes:
depaul behind messi seems to have covered the leakiness on the right.
otamendi and foyth together is like sticking a stick of dynamite in your pants.
paredes relieved pressure like a boss today. as long as he is not dragged sideline to sideline he is fine.
acuna introduction added more bite to left side which has been really lacking.
4-3 defensive block will be suicide against a team that can switch sideline to sideline. one of the forwards MUST drop into the line.
Messi misses his magic… please Messi…you take it back…
He is unable to adjust pitch.
Love u Dybala
2 clear messages of it, positive and negative:
1. Positive is that we are in final tound
2. Negative is that the game is like another prove we are not going to win the Copa
It looks like pending execution of Argentina. Just like one year ago. Progress to next round without big perspectives there.
Dybala is miles times better than suarez.
Someone give De Paul Man of the Match Award please. He deserve MVP
I was 100% sure that suarez was coming in, but great job Scaloni. That was a good game to watch. The subs were all great and did their job.
We made it guys. We escaped the scares of the group stage. The real challenge lies ahead. We must not lose focus, keep fighting. VAMOS ARGENTINA!
Pitch condition just horrible
Scaloni had the instinct to keep Aguero 😛
three great subs today by him. credit where credit is due.
That goal is a special Aguero goal…
That’s what you get if you keep playing the great great players for full length by resisting the temptation to withdraw them for your bedmates.
Good job Scaloni.
Acuna > locelso
nop
That field looks like shit.
GOL CARAJO GOL! FINALLY!
Well played by Aguero.
Finlly this is the real Aguero sorry mate you made my day
Thank you Aguero…thank you… finally you given that…
Dybala with the instant impact. Hopefully he continues being a super sub
Thanks ….. QPR style goal
FUCK YEAH!!!
Aguuuuuuuero!!
I am feeling u20 wc… can we score another…
Is this messi or a fake one looks like him i am not sure
Yeah tell this to some Messi fanboys
#Baticool may be he missed the chance but he didn’t played bad at all…aguero’s maximum chance setup by Messi himself..so don’t talk biased
Scaloni and Co… scared to sub Aguero…last time everyone criticized him…now everyone will criticize him for subbing Lautaro… probably
No scaloni not lartoro it is aguero dum ass ggggggggg
Finally a change I was expecting but I was waiting for them to remove arguero
Fuc… Scaloni…you take Lautaro…and keep Aguero…what a joke…that
Scaloni just clueless..why he always subbed off lautaro when he plays just superb..
Not a single shot by messi was in goal!!!! another fking midget..
You have an obsession with Messi it’s sad , get our self a job bum ass
What a miss by Messi…😭😭😭
I can’t block myself to say…Messi sucks in this Copa till now. He’s not Messi… just another player..
Another player could have press at least. Sad but true
Messi , open net open chance why why
The ball bounced a bit I think, the pitch is not that great…
Otomendi is going to give me HAttack
Wtf was that pure stubidity
I am crying every time when aguero hold or receiving the ball…plz somebody calls scaloni to subbed off him..😭😭😭
Argentina 86 were pure gold compered to these pussies ( Maradona lucky to have that team with him) poor Messi
Saravia is not playing well today, a lot of mistakes…
Colombia scored second…one more…even draw will do then… possibly
Imbicile like.. Aguero.Higuain…Di maria..otamendi..rojo..Dybala…and others..Messi can’t lift the cup..
Now dybala shld have a shot. Aguero seems tired. Foyth to be replaced by pezella
Larturo teaching messi and aguero how to press sheer heart and passion
We are getting much better after Lo Celso off the pitch, he should not start in this tournament anymore. We have given him almost 250 minutes but he has done absolutely nothing for us. Such a waster player in our squad.
Man vomit your hate somewhere. LoCelso was subbed mainly because of his yellow. Speak about Aguero…
Locelso is a good player…..
he needs time..as he is in different role in NT
Real Aguero would have already scored an hattrick today….
Fuck aguero and his ..faking midget
Aguerooo wtf something wrong with him
This is high time to inrodiúce Dybalaa!!!!!
Man…from half way…why backpass and create panic situation….you will never change….OTa…
Wt Aguero doing….his legs are not working…
Extremely poor plz dont let team down. Scolani do something about him. No pressing at all. Aguero
Otamendi and Armani both are in panic..for small threat
Agueroooo why why go manchester do not come back
In Paredes case, you can’t compare him with Masche. It is a big difference. Yes he did many backpasses, but he also did quick one-two vertical passes. He tries to dictate tempo to prevent Qatar pressure. You can see it when Tagli and Lautaro got fouled near the box. If we want to add more defense, put Pizarro or Rodri over Gio, but not to soon in 2nd half. We still need 1 more goal to lock the game.
Wtf this team is a joke
For me its better to wait for subs after 60 mins. For Aguero case, its good to make Lautaro freed because Qatar are focused to mark Aguero instead. Keep this line-up until 60 mins i think.
Reading the comments I see we should sub all the team except Armani, De Paul, Lautaro
why always sub others…
sub messi and introduce Dybala
U can’t replace A with B.
No subs for now. Let’s hold on for 60+mins.
Agreed.
I think Agüero can not receive any ball correctly..heguin is better than Agüero..i miss heguin.
Was that a joke to lighten up mood
Maybe lets do italian style defense and play counter attack and hope for the best. We need to defend period. No silly mistakes ( otomendi please behave)
Lo Celso, Parades is too slow to pass the ball.. They need to subbed off at the half time.
I wonder why anybody even expected to see Paredes being solid on destruction.
Score 2 more goals.
Bring Dybala.
Some wishes
….2 players who won’t be subbed off like foyth and lo celso are already yellow carded …..lo celso should take less time to make his decision……it just hurt to see talent like him playing like an ordinary player though he is tracking back well.
We HV created some chances…..I think team is still tentative…….
I have never seen any worst defensive midfield than Parades for Argentina. Nobody in the Argentina midfield are defending, they are too one sided.
I think he is ok for today. But he dosent have banega’s passing vision. Jus keeping it tidy for now. Suits for today. But still prefer a 4-4-2 for 2nd half
Paredes is ok…..if he is weak defensively than he make up with his incredible ball control and passing….we don’t HV better DM than him…just accept the fact.
Whatever shit they do.
Always with Argentina.
I wish that we had a better defensive strategy. If we had a defensive midfielder in instead of Paredes, that would help.
It’s not Paredes that is the issue. Otamendi is struggling and inconsistent. With the current skill players that Argentina has, they really should be playing 3-3-3-1 but will get exposed that formation by strong counters. So they have to improvise.
So the basic problem is that our players aren’t good enough for a 4-3-3 or whatever we are playing?
I think our full backs should play well……they are ordinary
Our right side needs help because we conceded 2 goals before and i see another one coming. Now the couch make his money right it is basic stuff scaloniiiiii
Kun pulled an Higuain with this wasted chance….We need more goals to secure the result. Qatar more than capable of scoring.
Yes, he reminded my of pipita choking in critical chances, we need cold blooded aka batistita/canigia/crespo type
I don’t support idea of subbing LoCelso and Aguero. That may be suicidal.
Get one more goal to sub Aguero.
Bring Dybala plz sub aguero.
Our defense is awful… midfield doesn’t know how to defend..
Glad we are up 1, but if we don’t score another Qatar will definitely tie it up. Can’t miss any more chances
who is the macherano of this team????? Parades is not a national team material. Psg is trying to sell him just after one season.
What a tidy perform by Paredes in 1st half. He is slow-starter but surely gonna be our future foundation.
way too many backpasses.
But he did some quick one-two fast vertical passes
Argentina has a leadership vacuum. They can fire their coach again and again, but noticeably the players on the pitch are playing selfish. I’ve been dubious about Lo Celso’s ability to play for the team, and this game more or less confirms it.
Schemewise, the wings are playing well, but the centrebacks are struggling. This makes the wingers drop back more and expose the flank for attack. And don’t keep asking for Dybala, he plays the same position as Messi.
parades is too fuckinggg slow. Lo Celso is the flop of the tournament so far for the Argentina. He needs to step up..
Ball movement and movement off ball much better
Our defense is in shambles. They are confused on markers for some reason.
Foyth making major league soccer mistakes
Thank agod Lauturo capitalized on their mistake
Nothing special aside from that gifted goal for us
Lo Celso plain sucks, missed a couple of easy targets and WTF was that effort at the wall?
Easy… easier than Aguero’s..? Who’s a real forward..?
Locelso tracking back well. But not sure why locelso playing left & DePaul right.
Sub him
@Insider, Aguero is done, burnt toast. Hopefully this is the last we see him. Time to move on.
Agueros shot was not easy. Wtf.
Decision making is not good, la celso tries to keep ball instead of passing immediately. Young lad let him learn lesson. Sub him n aguero half time. Dybala should be given chance now.
No for Aguero case, keep him play will make Lautaro stays unmarked tight. It is better because enemies are focused on Kun and make Lautaro more freed.
I don’t know why this referee always against us..acuna on for locelso would be better…
Lautaro and De Paul are the fresh spirit of the team that drags us so far.
Regardless of this Copa final result they are starting point of future team.
Otamendi back pass to Armani for no reason..then Armani kicking the ball sideline …out..
I hate whoever giving back pass. And a back pass to GK…it’s illegal for me..
4-3 defense lines looking very shaky when the press fails. back door is open. please bring in dybala for more structure but to keep the offensive threat.
Immediately subbed off aguero and introduce dybala
Qatar goes backfoot only because of two CF. If Dybala come..can he be CF..or.. create confusion..? This is my concern…
Our defense is sleeping big time , and they always go way to high while they mad slow coming back to defend
I think messi is out of form
Pitch is worst, Aguero n Messi can’t defend. So, sub aguero. Messi has couple of runs.
lol did you even watch the match..watch him where he is playing.he drop to the deep for build up attack..and he did it well..
I see what crespo means now, messi and aguero do not defend just watching larttoro running arubd like crazy
Colombia scored

Argentina defense is very bad I don’t trust that D
Very bad really
because we are sitting in 4-3 block and not 4-4. if qatar is better at circulation they can pull the line.
toro or kun need to be instructed to drop more.
whats 4-3 or 4-4 block
True, this is not defense for strongest opponents
That was discussed..this will work against Qatar. But against strong opponent..big no..
So aguero scores these chance left and right even blind but with his country shit nan
I feel we need dybala

this press is making me nervous lol…
Aguero???? what the fak…it was an open net almost
We need to quickly score more, I don’t trust this defense, still no difference to other games.
Aguerooooooooooooooo why why
Our guys have fallen asleep from time to time
We need sec now because qatar gaining confidence now
Lo Celso is another Meza. Fuck. Hi is 23 yrs old, no way to become a star.
shut up
Calm down Karl…calm down…
I dint find anything wrong with lo celso. Firstly hes playing out of position still he manages to defend and give some good balls for attack.. and the pitch is at worst condition ball is not rolling.
otamendi release the ball to the left man. every time your build out pass is to the right. every. time.
making the build out one dimensional.
Happy… happy..happy
Martinez should have scored that
He scored another one
It smelled like goal since 1st minute
Finally finally finally!!!
Goooooooooooooooooll
Wow. Lautaro
first interesting thing locelso split left.
We need the perfect storm. This is south America after all
alright. This is it!
Vamos!
Now lets support the blue and white team and pray hard this one goes well and luck help us a bit.
fingers crossed. Equador last qualifier , Nigeria WC group & now this one. Lets see we escape again at the last moment . Vamos Argentina . Didn’t want Pezella dropped . But anyway lets win today somehow.
Colombia playing a depleted team today vs Paraguay. anyway it doesn’t matter. Messi looks relaxed.
Looking at midfield these are our most creative midfielders. We have them all in the line up even at the expense of defensive abilities.
link plz bro
barcelonastream.com
this is the line up i always wanted
This brings back the pre match feelings before the nigeria game
Best of luck boys🔥
I am not optimistic. Scaloni has changed the line-up and the system once again. Players are in a different position in every game. The coach has no idea what he’s doing. This is Sampaoli once again.
Scaloni will try to push not that strong Qatar defenders with the Lautaro and Aguero physical strenghts.
This is the lineup that many of us proposed from before the first game of the tournament.
Vamos muchachos
vamos!
Nice name
bring Dybala😉
Time for glory
5-0 win
Dream may come true
if aguero has not missed
The best formation we can go with this Argentina.
Yepp bro, those our best players out of this group,
VAMOS VAMOS A GANAR.
This is exactly what i think when i read first the starting 11.
i agree 100%
yeah. This is so attacking. We need to score an early goal to settle. If we manage to keep a two goal advantage before half time, we will go through to the next round. I hope a big win for Argentina. Time to show our true potential.
VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!!
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, I WILL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE! WE WILL PULL THROUGH!
VAMOSARGENTINA!!!!!
well said
ARGENTINA IN GOOD.
ARGENTINA IN BAD.
ARGENTINA FOREVER.
VAMOS ARGENTINA !!!
