Your judgement is clouded. Had you actually bothered to watch the games with a settled line up the whole team were playing better and better and the performance against Brazil and then against Chile where they dominated proceedings with crisp fast passing and movment off the ball you would...

The Old Lady of Corruption. And if the referees had done their job in the game against Brazil then Argentina despite hitting the woodwork would have been in the final. Tagliafico was booked for a challenge early on with a straight yellow. Casemiro committed an almost identical foul on Messi...

So after a slow start there are plenty of signs for optimism. The midfield has been overhauled and full of energy and dynamism. de Paul has been superb but should take over on the left allowing Lo Celso the central playmaking role. Behind them I would take Asascibar or Foyth over Paredes who...

Scaloni told him I am not picking reserves. About time too. Romero has been quite content to sit on his backside picking up his cheque. That sort of mentality is not a good one. Now with Musso, Benitez, Rossi coming up and Gazzaniga his time is over.

They did not bottle the finals. Higuain missed two presentable chances to win each game. But of course Messi gets the blame for not having done enough.

That is the only way they can compete and have done for most of their history. Medel chased the referee along with most of the Chileans before the incident. The referee was a clown as most CONMEBOL officials are. Pulgar should have had a red for his challenge on Paredes.

Talk about oxymorons. So Argentina created the most chances in both finals but were boring but Chile who sat back and played for penalties deserved the titles. Keep you anti Argentina bias to yourself. Chile will now go back where they belong as nobodies on the international stage. Their junior...

So after Byron Moreno in 2002 when Italy and then Spain were cheated by the officiating to allow South Korea to progress all Italians are losers as well ? What a stupid comment. When you see injustices you don't turn a blind eye to it and let it carry on. You speak up and speak the truth so it...

What exactly is wrong with someone speaking the truth ? Messi and his team have been cheated. They outplayed Brazil had two clear penalties denied and once again yesterday the red card decision was an utter joke. The whole tournament has been a farce with terrible pitches and officials and all...

I'm sure Messi vehemently disagrees with this selfish opinion. He fought to go to Beijing and winning with Argentina would trump everything as he himself said winning anything with Barcelona. You realize he is Argentino through and through ? As for the team it is in transition. Scaloni is...

On his showings this season I don't think this will be the case. Still is far too one dimensional and one footed. Rarely gets his head up to check where his teammates are and is too predictable. Good enough for a certain level and no more. His work rate is sometimes good often poor and he still...

Indeed I am. Another excellent performance from Deulofeu. And indeed the team in general. Gracia organized the side well and both wingers Gerard and Richarlison doubled up with the wingbacks defensively and tuck in to win the ball. The question is can he maintain this ? Previously his form for...

Yes I did. Did not defend much. However in attack he had his moments in picking out a cross to Richarlison, a cut back that nearly resulted in a goal, a lovely one touch flick that resulted in a good chance and generally when he got the ball he used it well. Stood up to the burly Stoke defenders...

Firstly I am not going to criticize Samp greatly. First competitive match and it takes time for any coach to get their imprint on a national team. Not to mention several players have hardly played together.However observing the match we will have to play at a faster tempo. Move the ball far more...

Since when is Aguero and Higuain a better striker than Icardi ? Both are great club strikers but when it comes to the real crunch they have been found wanting. Chokers. Time to let the new breed through like Icardi and Alario. Other players have had serious issues but been selected for...

The bottom line is the coach. He chooses the players and the tactics. And we have a buffoon in charge. I also blame the AFA and it's sheer uselessness. The only thing it has excelled at has been corruption. If the money accrued from sponsorship deals, TV rights and friendlies had been used...

To lose to such a mediocre team is beyond the pale. I don't think there will be a Stadio Edgardo Bauza. He is a clown. He simply has not got the balls to make the right changes. The tactics were poor. Long balls, no control in midfield. Never turned the opposition enough. Several of the...

Star marquee player for corruption FC. If he keeps progressing as he does he will cost a fortune to prise away.

I never want to see him in an Albiceleste shirt again. Ever. The useless idiot has cost the seleccion three titles. They could have been greats by now but for him. I want to see Icardi, Alario given their chance as out and out nines. There are a couple of other nines waiting to develop like...

It's a vastly weakened squad that could medal. Calleri comes in for Vietto as Atletico don't want to release both Correa and Vietto. Kranevitter is missing as well. Such is the mess at the AFA they can do nothing about it. Several of the Argentina clubs like Boca, River and Independiente have...
