I almost cried when di Maria scored. Messi is dragging this horrible Argentina. Di Maria doing his part as well.

Great Workrate aswell, hope he keeps that for barcelona

I dont think he did work that hard, compared to Barca Messi for last few months maybe but nothing special about his work rate at all today.

Pretty much this.

The quality forwards are all having a subpar tournament. Sabella's problem is Gago is still starting. He should try Enzo.

They are all isolated, Higuain is always alone high up the pitch... Lavezzi had to dribble by himself every time because of lack of movement. He consistently plays Gago and Mascherano in midfield of which both aren't able to make a good pass through the center to lose opponents' midfiedlers. It looked much better when Biglia came on.

He didn't work hard consistently but he did put in decent effort overall. He had several sprints to put pressure or attempts at winning the ball back followed by spells of walking and being disengaged.

The scary thing is that might be all they need right now. Messi is on a mission right now and with Spain and his biggest rival out of the tournament already, he has a real shot to win it this time. Its not pretty but Argentina are finding ways to win and also seem to have lady luck on their side as well, considering that double miss from Dzemaili.

 

[FiReFTW]

Without Messi, Argentina wouldn't win a single match in this world cup imo.

 

[Jägermeister]

He actually helped at the back towards the end quite often. Guess he was really scared.

[NotInHere]

Once again being clutch.

Yeah, I think Biglia for Gago and Aguero for Higuain will be better for the next game.

Agüero is out.
