  1. Woohoooo!!! Brazil out and Portugal Out!!! Now I can relax and fully focus on tomorrow’s match.
    Hope to see you soon on one of your podcasts with the lackey Piers Morgan. Till then, Mr. CR7, GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE!!

  2. Roberto Martinez actually stole a living by coaching Portugal. To be fair Portugal team was one of the most balanced team in the World Cup if they actually managed properly. Most overrated coach in international level. Yes he made Belgium number one in ranking which is BS. All he had to do was bench Cristiano and play Ramos with the Squad he had he could have made history. I don’t know why and how he got all the big jobs !

    • Yes very true indeed, they had very dangerous team stucked with very good players, but like you said their Coach Roberto Martinez made some very bad decissions for them….anyway’s good to see them go out!

    • It wasn’t Roberto Martínez, it was the Portugal FA, and the portuguese government, pushing for Ronaldo to remain in the starting lineup. Any professional manager knows that by 2022, and certainly by 2026, starting Cristinano made Portugal weaker, not stronger. Defensively, it’s like playing with 10 men because he doesn’t press. In attack, it’s almost like playing without a proper No. 9 or a invisible striker because he no longer had the mobility or intensity to lead the attack. While Ronaldo’s inclusion made Portugal unbalanced and weaker Messi has done the exact opposite for Argentina. His performances, stats, and overall influence in this World Cup have shown he makes Argentina even stronger!

      In Christina’s defense, had Portugal assembled this same squad in 2014 or even 2018, Ronaldo could have been the difference maker. But in 2022 and in 2026, he wasn’t just finished, he was past his expiry date, like expired food that even a food bank wouldn’t accept.

  3. He can bring stability but not much going forward. Let see what all other changes will be made by Scaloni.

    Man.. Spain somehow got out. It was such a snooze fest match compared to a England vs Mexico cracker. Spain plays so much similar to us minus Messi. But they also dont seem to be a team which we can expect to stop France. That is if France beats Morrocco. All the noice about this Yamal banter can calm dow. I dont see much special in him.

    • Tagla probably the most consistent piece in our defence for last few years. Hopefully he brings back that performance for next game. I really want Morocco beat France. With all due respect Spain look beatable BUT the real Argentina needs to stand up .

  4. Some negative minded people here always need everything acccurate 😂😂 Argentina is scoring >2 goals each game, Even won 3-2 and that’s not convincing for them. They always want to cry, cry and cry….Even after winning a world cup and 2 copas by great effort of Scaloni , Still they blame him bla bla bla….I think these people should coach Arg better than the coach 😁

  5. Medina simply froze and let the ball pass through his legs. He did not even try to chase back. Hope Tagliafico comes up with a better and seasoned show. But when I look at teams like Portugal, Spain feel so envious of their movements from the left and right.

    • Yes, because he was Still bemoaning his pass straight Cabo Verde’s player, which lead to whole situation! Others have also bemoan way too much and everytime it lead’s to something either dangerous or loosing control etc….Hopefully against Egypt we can find our intensity back! What i was even more concerned was Molina and Montiel clueless performance, which i quess was not an real surprise to anybody, but still very horified about it and don’t know how Scaloni can fix, that right side of the defense…?
