The guy basically retired without ever getting it how to evade midfield pressure by movement or play penetrative passes between the lines. Even the likes of Matić or Obi Mikel have more composure on the ball. I won't remember him as a truly elite midfielder. On top of that, he's an emotional...

There are/were way shittier teams in the tournament in terms of player names and they still left far better impression than this Argentina. Argentina never felt like a serious team under him, not even in qualifications. He's not a bad coach, but obviously here he bit more than he could chew.

That Rojo foul on Mbappe looked outside the box, then dragged in? VAR?

Thiago - all style no substance, didn't show signs of significant improvement in years. Pjanić - the real deal. Even managed to imrove his physicality (Iniesta and Messi know this first hand).

For fucks sake, Rojo and Biglia shouldn't be anywhere near the starting line up in a final tournament. Also, Mascherano will probably be useless against a deep defending team like he was in the last WC (games vs Iran, BiH, Swi).

Meh player anyways.

Biglia should've rejected the call himself if he had any sense of decency. I'm fucking baffled how such an average, not-really-good-at-anything, and to top it all genuinely weak-minded individual can be a regular starter in a NT such as Argentina.

If he somehow manages to pull a miracle and win the WC with THAT Argentina BdO is all his.

Don't let their table position fool you, they will put up a fight. Who else hyped for Umtiti vs Aduriz match-up? :p

Spoiler alert: The same line up from yesterday will start.

I just can't wrap around my head why Coutinho wouldn't start this game.

Manzano is issuing licences to kill to Espanyol players as we speak.

Imagine a team of 11 players with Jordi Alba's winning mentality and workrate? Would that team be beatable?:confused:

I'd rather pay double for De Bruyne to be honest.:blush:

I also took him for a slow player. Then again he made Iniesta look like a dead cat in their recent encounters (especially last season CL tie, literally bullied him out of the game which speaks volumes about Iniesta's physical state).

1. Messi 2. Roberto 3. Paulinho HM: rest of the team.a

"B-but Matuidi for 20m"

Just noticed Marcelo took his right boot off when he dribbled past him for the 3rd goal, but the GOAT don't care.

I don't think Real can keep this pressure intensity in the second half.

I hope he can deal with Madrid crosses.
