Argentina

[Egert]

That will never be something like 4-0. Maybe 1-0 or 2-1 for Argentina

 

[King Leo]

Sergio Aguero trained normally with the rest of the team. No green light yet but up to Sabella to start him or use him as a sub when needed. I think he will take the risk and start him.

In place of who? I don't want him to change the 4-4-2 against a team like the Netherlands. Higuain, Messi are shoe-ins for the front two, I can only think of Lavezzi and Enzo Perez who might lose their spot, and I don't think that's a good idea.

 

[AURELIUS]

Aguero has to be honest with Sabella. If he does not feel 100% do not play. It could end up costing a substitution.

Romero needs to improve for crosses and the defence I hope are continuing to practice defending these and attacking them. Bear in mind Costa Rica invited Holland onto them and so Navas who is better than Romero was tested a fair bit. Argentina will not sit back although they may sit deeper than Spain did to deny space in behind.

I'd keep Perez and Lavezzi. Perez has played as a winger before and is very industrious and he picked Messi out when he was fouled on the edge of the Belgian area. Maxi can come on later if needs be with his vast experience. And he is in good goal scoring form too.

Rojo probably in for Basanta although I wish he had been played with Garay before and Basanta could stay at left back. Lavezzi should help the LB as he did against Belgium once clearing in his own corner area.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Kun as a sub is a very good option imo. Sabella should not start him and leave Higuain upfront alone.
That makes the most sense against 3/5 at the back.

Team doctor confirmed that Di Maria "might be ready" for the final.

 

[coura]

Bring on The Kun.

Really?! There are some rumors neymar might be ready too if he takes some painkillers but don't know if that is true might be some fake news too. Brazil Argentina final was my dream please make it happen.

Edit: The idea was rejected by the Brazil team doctor, maybe it is for his own good i don't want to see him out for too long.

Maradona + Caniggia

Kun is fit to play, I'd rather he started instead of being brought in as a sub. If it turns out he's not fit then he can be subbed out, rather than bringing him on and taking him out again.

 

[voodoomaster]

Starting aguero is a terrible idea. He has been maybe the tournaments biggest disapointment. Higuain was bad a long time, kun was totally lost. His contribution was zero. And now after his injury - good thing? - Argentina should suddenly start him against netherlands in the semis?

 

[Chainsaw]

I do not trust Kun, I won't play him unless it's out of necessity. Argentina and Sabella better have a special plan to neutralize Robben out of the game. He's Holland's main threat. It's better for Lavezzi to start so he can help out Rojo to keep Robben in check.
