match is there for the taking if he goes GOAT mode second half

Let's hope Leo scores today

even his departure is "despacito"

Suarez on the wing, Coutinho on the right, and Paulinho starting in midfield...

The rumor is either Higuain or Pavon. I really hope Lo Celso starts for Perez as well

I wouldn't mind seeing Messi at False 9 vs France with Pavon and Di Maria on the wings.

probably had nothing else in life and used Argentina/Messi to fill the void

Is anyone else a bit worried about whether we can rely on him for next season? He clearly has tons of potential and occasionally shows glimpses of what he's capable of, but still seems too inconsistent and poor in his decision making to expect a full world class season from. I can see his next...

Athleticism (pace, stamina) is far more important than physical size or thuggery.

2010 vs Inter: Iniesta injured, wrongly disallowed goal, two penalties denied, and volcano cloud fiasco before first leg 2012 vs Chelsea: Just terrible finishing. Any style of team will get knocked out if they miss that many chances, doesn't mean that our style was wrong.

Very good player, but not a fan of signing him. A Pjanic/Busquet/Rakitic midfield would be pretty uninspiring given that all three are basically holding midfielders. I also don't think Pjanic would be much of an upgrade on Rakitic, so signing him to replace Rakitic and play alongside Busquets...

But France's left back could have a field day going forward if Messi plays right wing. I think Argentina should definitely use 433 but I can't decide if Messi should be right wing or false 9

You just know Umtiti is the type of guy who would perform like shit for 4 months and help cost us CL but suddenly find his form in the one game we don't want him to.

They still beat a team while "barely giving a fuck" that full strength Argentina couldn't beat

I'm hoping for 433 with Lo Celso, Banega, Biglia in midfield and then some combination of Messi, Aguero, and Pavon/Dybala up front. Toughest call would whether to have Messi at False 9 and Aguero inside forward or Messi right wing and Aguero up front.

I'd give Messi's goal the edge if you count the run and pass from Banega as part of it

Definitely a better performance from Argentina but I still don't think they've found the best system or personnel going forward. Banega should start for sure, Higuain and Peres shouldn't, but definitely a lot of uncertainty remains

we'll see, Brazil and Belgium aren't guaranteed to win their groups, and there's no guarantee Germany will make the semis

Masch is literally the manager right now though
