They look good, Messi might've missed a couple he might normally convert but he has that spark in his game again...Kun & Gonzo are going to form a very impressive attacking force with Leo & Di Maria...As hard as it is to admit it, losing Demichelis would hurt Argentina's chances at this point

I cant see this Argentina win wc, Even with aguero, di Maria, zabaleta, higuain and messi. The rest is just average at best. Spain has top players in every position(lacks a messi though). Hope I am wrong though.

Chance, opportunity, dangerous situation.. call it what you want. It's not good enough and another sign of them being ineffective and not sharp.

Ok so let's say they are not sharp? Do you know when they last played together? They are playing this friendly to become sharp before the tournament begins... Enjoy the game.

If Lavezzi could finish he'd be the best player in the world

Where the hell is Demichelis ponytail, not cool man

Come on Leo

My commentator said it was only a knock on his foot. Not a strain or pulled muscle. He should be fine (hope so).

Can someone sum up Messi's performance for me? Missed the 1st half.

Missed 1 very good chance and 1 half chance, made some great passes and had a couple of very speedy dribblers which drew fouls. The attack doesn't look near as good with Aguero and Higuain but I expect the floodgates to open in the second half.

If you are the manager and your team creates 6/7 very good chances in first half do you change things in second?

Were Barca beated by Chelsea in 2012 as they were 'ineffective'? No their system worked well but they missed the chances they made.

You clearly dont get it though.

Why are you shifting the focus? Changing things tactically? No, why would I do that if my team is creating chances? I haven't said anything about chancing tactics, system etc. I merely pointed out that the Argentine players need to improve their effectiveness because they are ineffective in critical situations. It relates to them individually, not their tactics or anything the coach can do. It's about concentration and improving your finishing so you can avoid being so ineffective. Stop being ignorant.

The system is not ineffective if the players are creating 7/8 chances. Move on.

Poor finishing does not equal a whole team being 'ineffective'.

Unless you're frejsgodes he played well.

You should improve your reading comprehension. A few pages back I said I liked his general play, but I miss his ruthless and cynical self. I haven't stated he played badly or anything close to that. Just that he's not been sharp enough in his finishing.
