Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[neo_wolf]

Some things this side has over 2018.
1.They are much younger.
2.They have a better team
3. This france team is not as good as 2018

And remember, that 2018 side gave France its toughest match.

Otamendi seems a weak link

hopefully Messi's walking around will not make a difference.

I don't know what will happen later today, but all I want to say is that it's been a pleasure seeing this man play football, and no matter the outcome I hope people in Argentina are proud of him and his performances for them.

Feel privileged to be able to watch Messi play since he made his debut, 99% of the time for the club I root for.

Blatantly false. Otamendi has been one of Argentina’s best players this World Cup. Cristian Romero and Pezzella have been their worst players (when they played).

Also Messi hasn’t walked since the first game. He has been running his heart out.

It's the day lads.

Vamos.

From various Argentinian news, seems like a 3-5-2 will be played tomorrow (the same lineup vs the Netherlands)

Dibu---Romero, Otamendi, Lisandro---Molina, De Paul, Enzo, MacAllister, Acuna---Messi, Alvarez


-The trio of Romero, Molina and De Paul will be important to defending the area Mbappe likes to operate on.

-MacAllister and Lisandro will have to communicate well so that Griezmann does not receive the ball between the lines.

-Acuna will need to be aggressive with Dembele

-Messi to attack the left hand side where France seems to be weakest.

This will be the toughest match that this team will have faced, but confident in Scaloni and in this team that they have done their homework. Vamos!

Di Maria will be key especially in the second half where he will most likely be an impact sub

He was walking a lot last match but seemed a little injured.

The infamous “Drake curse”. What a piece of shit.

Drake isn't even relevant

I think the most physically gifted Messi was the 2014-2015 MSN treble version.

He was looking for blood in the aftermath of the WC final and his fitness issues in 13-14. And he played RW for most of that season and absolutely destroyed the stats: 58 goals, 29 assists, treble. Just look how lean he was towards the end of the treble season.

Unfortunately, his fitness during the Pep era wasn't the best. He was ridiculously talented and very young, so that compensated for it during that time. But 14/15 was the perfect mix. And he timed the 2022 WC well too.

14/15 Messi is better than anyone in history. Only Messi from 2010-2012 is better.

Big day for Leo.


Just had a flashback from that 2018 game, wasn't there a sprint duel between Mbappe and Otamendi (or was it Masche?) where Mbappe absolutely destroyed him. Better not give those kind of spaces today.

Hope that Leo and the Albiceleste can find a way. Vamos!
