      • I agree on that some subs could had been made, maybe…? But, the truth is what chejose said :

        They had no legs left…La Paz is a torture chamber

        As i fully agree with chejose and btw 0-3 in La Paz is very good result even if this Bolivia is not maybe their greatest ever….

        Anyhow ARG clearly better and could had eafily scored multiple goals more as they had really many shots on target !

        As what comes to second half and to the subs made earlier…?

        Well, i honestly think that Scaloni & Co knew who can play at such altitude as 3600 metres above sea level and cope with it too as it is more than understable, that maybe all could not + maybe some having some knocks and whatever badicly being on such alttitude for only 2 days + it can really effect on multiple ways….

        So even having knocks or not or being tired or not or what so ever…i’m pretty sure they used all the players who could cope and play with such an altitude….

        And it is more than logical, that anyone playin’ at such an altitude will eventually get tired as more Quicker than even themselfs will realize…

        And if it so as i just think…that, because 15 players never played there before and maybe all could not due to the such an high alttitude….

        Well, then the coaching just had to folliw how the gane will develop and hope for goal or 2 as i think they are satisfied with 3 and not conceding !

        So did the game develop in, that manner as said before, that ARG could had multiple goals, but it is extremly not only just difficult due to the thin air at such high alttitude only to be able to play in first place as obviously this can effect your body and mind too + it is extremly difficult to control the ball and therefore it is more than understandaple, that ARG could not convert every scoring opportunity, which indeed they had many, but still scored 3 and did not conceded as if they will be hiven second chance and more time to adapt to the high alttitude with physicalky and how the ball moves there with really thin air…etc

        Well, i’n sure based on the scioring chanches, that ARG would had easily won by 6 goals at least !

        Well deserved victory and as i said 3 goals scored in La Paz and not conceeding !

        Job very well and greatly done too !

        GONGRATS TO LA SELECCION AKA OUR BELOVED ALBICELESTE !

  5. Easy peasy today😊.
    Looking forward to see the previous La Paz win warriors getting some sub minutes – Palacios, Lautaro, Parades. Also well deserved substitution for remote controlled DiMaria. So maybe A Correa for Dimaria & Garnacho for Nico G.

  9. It’s safe to say that:
    1. we have the best player in the world – Messi
    2. we have the best midfielder in the world – Enzo
    3. we have the best defender in the world – Cuti

    Our 4th star will come soon if we keep playing like this. Vamos!
