I think football stars love media coverage and the COPA 2016 will have huge media attention. Big stadiums, huge attendance, lots of journalists etc. So I think yes they will take it seriously.
Expect the usual Colombian aggressive game but I think Messi will be protected tonight by the ref (Copa has been a farce so far and losing Messi from the tournament will cause a sharp decline in viewers) Wont be surprised if we see another red card.
I was happy Pastore linked up well with Messi few times given the little play time they have together. This with more training can become something positive. Di Maria needs to step up his game and Higuain shouldn't be called for National duty again. He's a waste.
He was thinking "15 minutes left in the game with a score of 2-1 we can score another and get the 3 points. Best defense is more attacking" He had no idea what he was doing. The defense line was way too high and Diaz figured it out in 2nd half. To Make matters worse Tata had to appease Tevez...
Argentina starting lineup
Sergio ROMERO;
Facundo RONCAGLIA, Ezequiel GARAY, Nicolas OTAMENDI, Marcos ROJO;

Lionel MESSI, Kun AGÜERO & Angel DI MARÍA.
in 2007, the 19-year-old Messi who's life was wrapped around football and nothing else was allegedly aware of the tax evasion scheme that his accountants were conducting, thus must stand trial.
Only in Spain!
RM and the pro-Spain allies in Catalonia are doing everything to drive Messi away from Barca. Just SICK!
They're killing themselves to photograph Messi in a court room tried for tax evasion. FUCK REAL MADRID!
You got it mate!
1. Messi in WC 2014 was THE ONLY reason Argentina reached the final game and Messi was literally inches away from scoring for Argentina to end this pathetic endless debate. WC = 7 games = eternal glory. Is it justice to judge Messi by that trophy? well he did reach the final...
Many questions...
So are we loaning Douglas and selling Montoya? are we allowed to sell under the ban?
Dani stays but Vidal joins him in January. That's fine for Vidal until he settles but what about Adriano? strictly backup to Alba? hmmm
That's the right attitude to a true sport fan. You pick up and keep going. It was indeed a good final. I feared the early goal will turn the game into a Brazil-Germany scenario but you guys kept on fighting and held it until the equalizer. Then, Barca fans were on the edge of their seat as we...
