Argentina and Adidas will celebrate their 50th year anniversary together and will wear this jersey vs Peru.

The jersey is on fire

As far as dribbling goes, the Getafe and Real Madrid goals are obviously brilliant and stand out (among many others), but there is something special about the goal against Athletic Club.

I think what I like about this goal is he doesn't really move in a straight line (for Getafe he comes inside from the wing but it's still almost a straight run, and Real Madrid is a slalom). In this goal, he starts from the right wing near the halfway line, and has absolutely no right to score when he receives the ball in this position. But he weaves in and out, accelerates and decelerates, and does people with faints and twists inside. He gradually moves by people then when he gets i line with the box he comes inside more. It's just the way he moves across the pitch horizontally that impresses me so much about this goal.

It's not 'better' than the Getafe goal, it's less on the big stage than the RM goal (even if it was a final), but from a technical and movement/body shape/coordination standpoint it is every bit as good as those.

How he didn't win the Puskas for that goal, I will never understand.

It's already two years since the start of the best WC on the pitch ever for me. Off the pitch it's probably one of the worst.

I don't even care that much about coruption if you meant that, it's more that it's not a football country and all the games seemed like they were in the same place. It's always interesting to me to get to know different cities, different stadiums, cultures...and we didn't have that in Qatar. The fans bar Argentinians are getting worse with every WC but that's another topic.
