2015 Copa América

"Argentina's defence looking as shaky as a giraffe on three legs." - Ray Hudson

Shit performance by Argentina imo.
The last time we've seen Messi being so lazy is when Tata was our coach.

The guy is coaching a Ferrari but he makes it look like a Fiat. Same with Barcelona.

Biglia is shit in my opinion, Banega should be a starter. Same for Zabaleta, I prefer Roncaglia.

Thats why I wrote that I hope he gets bought by RM hopefully, Rafa has hard on him. Guy is trash going forward, ADM loses every other ball and Messi is just reserved as he was in 2014 with Tata coaching us.

On point of Biglia...How the fuck do you play double pivot with Biglia and Masch and you still need to defend like your life depends on it against all 3 opponents in groups? This reminds me of Brazil in WC. Scrapped here and there, you would thought they would "wake up" until they got smashed to smithereens by Germany. Hopefully that doesnt happen to Argentina and they go out with minimal deficit because they ARE going out with this kind of play. At least its probable Tata will f off.

Replacing players wouldn't change much. The problem is bigger than that.

They should just appoint another man born inRosario that also coached Barca. Man who won them WC

Menotti hasn't managed a team since 2007.

Tata isn't 100% at fault. A lot of these guys don't display the same form for country like they do for. A team is a better than 11 talented individuals.

He is. It was the same with Barça. Tata claimed the defense couldn't improve, unless the players grew taller. Enrique improved the defense, same players(alba, masch, pique, alves). This argentina side look a bit with tata's Barça. Share some of the weakness, but they are worse for argentina.

I wasn't being serious just pointing out similarities with Tata.

At least Barca's players are used to sharing the ball, in fact they love it. Argentina's players are some of the most greedy cunts I've seen. ADM, as I said, is the worst. How can he take double amount of shots in comparison to Messi?

because he can

not every national team can play like barca, argentines are known to like quick direct dribbling and a bit hogging the ball, not a surprise. they just need to be told when to dribble and when to pass and ofcourse when to shoot

So they can continue that way...and hog onto 21yr without a trophy

That's why I pointed out Tata Martino AND the players.
It's a problem of tactics and attitude. I feel like Tata has no clue of what he has to do to make it work.

Overreaction galore. Yes, argentina were awful, but they were also facing 2 banks of four for much of the game. They didn't get out of sec gear and yet created chances that should 've been put away. Besides, much of the squad is carrying heavy legs and 've a qtrfinal coming up, no need to over-exert. Sabella was/is a better tactician and man-manager, but everyone knows that. Not a fan of Tata myself. But at this point winning is all that matters.

Roncaglia and Banega may be good for their respective clubs, but for the NT Zab and Biglia have shown to be more consistent and reliable.

Cause this is how we do it
Hog on to the ball like nobody does
This is how we do it
You're all my neighbours, you got much flava
This is how we do it

I worry more about the confusion Argentina shows when defending. Even against jamaica.

 

[Barcadub]

I think the standard of teams is very poor in the competition. If ever there was a chance for Argentina to win this, it's now!!

Chile v Uruguay
Bolivia v Runner up in C2

Argentina v Equador or 3rd place from group C
Winner of group C v Paraguay.
