Where is Willy

 

[Kinlejus]

Iran got robbed

 

[Morten]

Iran deserved more here, by far the biggest chances.

 

[Djab]

Iran don't get the credit the deserve. Really sad.

chili, Uruguay, Colombia will eat this Argentina alive

Yeh, like they ate them alive in the WCQs.

 

[Galning]

Go home Iran.

 

[Alik]

Soo... I guess Romero isn't that bad

 

[Djab]

Go home Iran.

Haha. You're home Sweden.

 

[Barcaman]

Sabella the mastermind. Put Gago (didn't know he still played serious football) and Mascherano as key men to control the game and rely on Messi to deliver.
There are literally hundreds more deserving coaches in South America. What has Sabella done to deserve this job? Can someone shed some light?

Give Barcelona a run for their money during their dominate era and won copa lib
With estudiantes. A team that played really fuckin well and stood up to barca better than anyone at the time imo.

Lol. But you are right about one thing, Argentina has many coaches

The tediousness of those matches might have some value for Argentina after all.
Now the bigger opponents with inclination to hubris (i.e. Germany) might understimate them.

To be honest, Argentina really doesn't have that many option anywhere other than attack. So it all depends on their fron tline to deliver. Today was a day to forget for Aguero, Di maria and Higuain. Higuain at least setup a nice chance for Aguero which was saved. Although there were umpteen of bad touches from Higuain. Somehow I don't feel Aguero is completely fit - physically or mentally. Di Maria made so many bad passes that I lost count.

 

[Galning]

Haha. You're home Sweden.

Don't be so butthurt. Excuse me if I don't want to see such a boring team at the World Cup. Two insanely boring games jesus christ. If you thought Nigeria-Iran was bad.. Snooze team.
