10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[aki13]

I am worried about Argentina. I just hope that the attacking approach of Belgium will provide Leo and Co with a bit more space and allow him to play well and Argentina to function a bit better.

I mean Bosnia, Iran and Switzerland all parked large vehicles. The one match they had space they look OK and Messi played well beating Nigeria. Obviously that leads to conceding goals too.

Nervous about tomorrow already.

He will have to lay his heart out to orrow no doubt.

I'm yet to see Belgium line up with an attacking approach. Don't let the USA game mislead you. They created lots of chances simply because it was an open game and the States played full-on as they always do. During the group games on paper they were head and shoulders above all teams they played and they never took any risks.

They will play even more defensive tomorrow and hit Argentina on the counter with their fast players, probably succed too. Much more boring team to Watch than i thought Before the tournament. The only reason the game against USA was fun was because of USA. Full speed ahead, leave Acres of speed Belgium could use, its a riddle they didnt score more and Tim Howard of course.

Yes I predict another boring park the bus game tomorrow. That's why the counters will kill us this time. If Messi doesn't get the support he needs it will be a miserable a big loss for Argentina.

Belgium are not great at parking the bus though. Definitely not as good as Argentina's previous opponents. Putting pressure on the already error-prone defence consisting of Van Buyten, Kompany, Vertonghen and to a lesser extent Alderweireld will surely lead to some brainfarts.
It's going to be an interesting game but as you said, I don't expect it to be entertaining.

I'm worried about Belgian set pieces.

Im worried only measi will show up again. Belgium is superior than what argentina has faced, if we thought swiss was hard, just wait until they decide not to show up against belgium

Romero is no Howard so they will get smashed 2-0 or 3-0 if they decide not to show up. This is of course if Belgium decides to attack and not play defensively. Also, IMO Argentina defense is much weaker than USA's when you consider that Rojo is gonna be out due to too many yellows.

Yup, have zero confidence in Argentina's defense and Romero in particular.

Again, I hope Messi gives his all and lead the team to another victory. We need him to give us a morale booster, especially after what happened to Neymar.

 

[Darko]

Oh come on now, Romero has been solid so far in the WC, yeah ofc I still believe Willy was the better option, but Romero saved Argentina against Iran and had a few good saves in other games.

 

[gatsu]

In all their games, argentina showed that they were about to crack anytime if not for Messi and Di maria great performance, i'm really worried about tomorrow, Belgium is maybe an adversary to difficult to handle for Messi's team.

A Messi in beast mode is needed if they want to pass the Belgium obstacle.

Argentinas defense hasn´t looked that bad compared to the other top Teams like brazil,germany and netherlands.
