  1. They lure you in with a sleek, professional website so you don’t suspect a thing. I’ve been stuck on “Processing” for more than 90 days now, and support won’t even reply. Over $70,000 in, and I’ve been ghosted. It hurts to admit, but I got scammed. As a final option, I contacted Ghost Track Hackers Recovery. They took care of the technical part, and I actually recovered all my funds (100%). If you find yourself in a situation like this, please email ghosttrackhackers at gmail com before the site/platform shuts down.

  2. €30 million plus an additional €5 million seems excessive. The potential ROI on Santiago Castro looks quite low based on his current numbers.

    According to Wikipedia, Castro has made:
    Vélez Sarsfield: 61 appearances, 8 goals
    Bologna: 79 appearances, 16 goals

    Those are underwhelming numbers for a center-forward.

  3. It still hurts, man. The way we lost to Spain in the World Cup final is unexplainable. Losing is one thing, but losing without even having a single shot on target is bad.

    It opened the floodgates for relentless trolling from fans of every nation. Unfortunately, we can’t live without social media. The more I try to avoid it, the more it keeps appearing in front of me.

    The World Cup has left a huge vacuum in my life, I guess. I think it would be better if the World Cup were held every two years. Four years is just too long. If I’m 40 now, then in four years I’ll be 44, almost 45. Damn… life is too short, I guess.

    • I know. I am 55 years old, I’ve seen Argentina win and lose over the years. This loss is possibly the worse for me, worse than 2014 and 1990. I can’t get over this one. As you said, it’s the way we lost. Don’t get me wrong, we lost to a good team, but was Argentina even out there? Even against good teams we should have played better, so many doubts. Why did Messi stop running after that ball? This one will be hard for me to get over, just because of what could have been, back-to-back with Messi, 2 cups for him, it would have made his legacy even stronger. What makes it worse is that it was played on what would have been my father’s birthday, 2 miles from his home. My Dad passed away a few years ago, he was the biggest Messi fan. Let’s at least enjoy what this team has accomplished in the last years, which is nothing short of amazing!

    • “Unexplainable”? The final was a disaster waiting to happen. Messi had to carry Argentina through several difficult moments just to get them to the final, while the midfield pairing of Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández failed to impose itself during the entire tournament.

      Players like Lo Celso, Barco, Nico Paz, Otamendi, and Senesi were underutilized. With better squad rotation throughout the tournament, perhaps the team could have managed the physical demands better and reduced the workload on key players and prevented injuries to Romero and Lisandro Martínez.

      There were warning signs before the final. Argentina struggled badly at home against Mauritania, and even Dibu Martínez acknowledged afterward that the team needed to improve. Scaloni also failed to address the recurring problems with misplaced passes and unnecessary turnovers.

      And honestly, Argentina has given people plenty of reasons to criticize and troll them because of some completely unnecessary incidents involving the players:

      Paredes: His decision to blast the ball toward the Netherlands’ bench during the 2022 World Cup was completely unnecessary.
      Dibu Martínez: His Golden Glove celebration was widely criticized as inappropriate and provocative.
      Enzo Fernández: The social media controversy surrounding the Argentina team’s celebrations after winning the World Cup created unnecessary controversy.
      The Malvinas poster after beating England: Bringing a political issue into a sporting celebration was unnecessary. Politics should be kept separate from football.

      There have been other incidents as well, including Acuña’s controversial behavior during the Club World Cup. Whether people like Argentina or not, the players should understand that their actions have consequences. When you repeatedly give people ammunition, you can’t be surprised when they use it against you.

  4. Looks like EL Scaloneta going to stay, the amount of love scaloneta is receiving from Argentinee public is i guess going to make him stay which is ideal bcoz he is the only man ho can start the rebuild and argaubly the greatest Argentine manager ever. Lets begin the rebuild

  5. I think The future is very bright for Argentina if the coach use our next star properly.

    Alvarez/lautaro/panichili/Castro

    Garnacho/prestianni –Paz/montoro/ buendia– mastantuno/ sule/ dybala

    Enzo/ mac/Tomas Aranda— Barco/ palciosis/perrone

    Lb(?)—– Romero/ balerdi- —lisandro / rivero/anselmino—- Giay/??¿??

    Beltran/musso

    • Giay and Lautaro Vargas…to take the spot after growing to that level…

      Molina, Montiel and Capaldo will be used meanwhile.

    • I agree. I like Rulli also though, I think he’s an excellent shot stopper.
      I also still have high hopes for Julio Soler, Ezequiel Fernandez and Milton Delgado.

  6. Alavro Montoro
    This kid is so underrated…
    Nobody talk about him.
    He is a pure class.
    If he was an European the fucking media will make him a rockstar.
    Plz Como, Strasbourg buy this kid

    • he was quite underwhelming in the U20 World cup & also ended up getting injured. He was challenged physically in that tournament & wasnt ready. Hopefully has progressed on levels since then.

      • That’s true. But is consistent long time in Brazilian league. Rather physically demanding. Like to see him with call up for upcoming friendlies. Same as Aranda, Simon Escobar, Prestianni, Maher Carrizo and others.

  7. When will they announce the new coach? A coach whose training would enable players to leave the match with more than zero shots on goal.
