I agree. But this is because of the fifa uniforms regulations. That's why spain's is all red too.

What regulations?

What regulations?

The one where fifa states the teams can't have a piece of the uniform of the same colour as the opponent, or the same tone. Brazil had to play with white shorts, instead of the traditional blue ones against italy on the confeds, for example. As italy uses a blue shirt. Italy also had to use blue shorts, instead of the white they usually wear. Stupid rule, and in the wc we'll see a lot of ugly combinations because of it.

Now:

Back then:

Somehow fifa thinks people confuse shirts and shorts, if they are the same colour, and have trouble identifying the teams.

Stupid rule indeed. I donno what's wrong with the classic fashion, like the one above (Maldini and Romario).

What the heck FIFA??

Germany white shorts follow the same rule. There's something about the use of light and dark colours as well. So stupid.

Argentina looking pathetic vs ecuador who in my opinion looks like a very strong team. I'm glad messi is not playing so people could see from a neutral perspective the level of this team. From midfield go back they are dreadful

 

[Semi-Neutral]

It's 0-0, a bunch of their starters aren't playing (Messi, Aguero, Gago, Zabaleta), and like you said, Ecuador are a strong team.

Considering most of the first team is absent and they controlled the second half. Yes they were dreadful.....

All Sabella needs to do is call up Ansaldi, Cabellero and Musacchio. Romero and Fernandez need to be replaced ASAP. Other than that excellent upfront, excellent midfield and decent enough defence if those players are brought in.

Spanked Bosnia as well despite several absentees as well.

Meanwhile the issue of petrodollars, corruption, technology, racism get overlooked. Yes it's more important to get the strips of teams not mixed up because the viewing public are idiots. Sums up FIFA, UEFA and indeed all the other governing bodies in a nutshell.

I was at the game. Aguero should've been sent off for the deliberate kick on Spahic.

Spahic should have had a red card too then. Deliberate rake down the inside of Kun's leg. No wonder he retaliated. A bit like Luiz elbowing him in the stomach.
