Soule seemed exciting the few times I've caught a glimpse of him. He's a left-footed RW though. Argentina have Di Maria, Messi, Dybala and Nico Gonzalez who operate in the same space. Definitely one for the future however.
Dybala is a worse Messi. If Messi plays there's no place for himHopefully Dybala will play, unbelivable a guy of his class doesnt play for nt
Bought an As roma jersey from dybala, very nice quality
Lautaro seems really chill as person. Trying to rile up Otamendi but with the poise of someone getting things in order to hold a speech. It's not personal. Was also relaxed with the bobo incident in catacomb. Messi must like him for that.
@Horatio OJO. another conflict brewing in La Scaloneta 👀
He's also an asado expert. Top tier ladLautaro seems really chill as person. Trying to rile up Otamendi but with the poise of someone getting things in order to hold a speech. It's not personal. Was also relaxed with the bobo incident in catacomb. Messi must like him for that.
Argentina had starting jitters. Also robbed off of Lautaro goal.1 defeat and it's funnily vs football juggernaut Saudi Arabia.
International Football is easier and slower than club Football. That's not coping. Simply because better managers and squads well drilled and training all year round.
It's tougher to get yourself up for a CL final game than a WC in terms of technique and merit. WC is higher pressure and bigger stage but substantially lower quality of Football.
Don't be surprised if Messi flops in the CL knockouts again despite trying to have another last shot at it. It's not the same as WC. Teams like Bayern you don't face in international Football.
Low stakes ? Winning the World Cup. Haha. This Argentina team has been superb for the last two years and with all the talent coming through, the brains trust and Scaloni only going to improve.Like I said yesterday, overstatement will be the habitus of this forum going forward (if it weren't already)
1) You can't compare NT level, which is low stakes, to club level football
2) Same guys keep talking about this Argentina NT as if being some super-team...
No, they pay meh football, and being fast on a counter has nothing to do with breaking buses via short passing, which is the task Barca has to face at club football
Still a far cry from great NTs like Spain 2010 or Germany 2014, despite being more consistent than all other NTs of this WC
