Sampaoli fucked up with his subs. What the fuck was that?? Your team needs to win and you take off both of your forwards for shittier players??? Pastore was absolutely horrendous tonight! WTH was he thinking? He better learns fast from his mistakes. There is no more room for slipping. All 6 remaining points are needed and the team should put his shit together before it's too late.

If Paraguay beats Uruguay then Argentina is completely out, or do they still have a couple of games left to play?

Still 2 games left, so nothing done yet. It's just that there's absolutely no chance for them if they play like this. Venezuela is bottom of the table with nothing to play for and Argentina couldn't even beat them at home. Embarrassing.

Argentina have Peru at home next.

If they don't win there, I don't see them making it away to Ecuador in the last game. They absolutely have to win against Peru and Sampaoli better get his shit together.

Certain players in that team doesn't deserve to play for Argentina yet they keep making the squad all the time.

Never known an intl team no matter who is the manager to make so many bizarre choices of players.

Say what you like about Aguero etc but he is different class of a goal scorer to the shit that was on the park tonight. At least as a sub.

Indeed. What has Argentina become is beyond sad. A nation that was producing so many talents each year now can't even put a decent 11 together. The Argentina youth, who was one of the best in the world barely can even get out of the group stage in the tournaments now. The amount of average players coming out of Argentina for the past couple of years is mind boggling.

Lanzini should be in that team.

Far better served having him than donkeys like Pastore who think they are better than they are.

That's what happens when years of chaos and incompetence in the AFA impacts the domestic structure.

They still got some talented players for the 1st team, it's just that some of them are absolute idiots.

Why Pastore tries a a backheel at the mid-circle at the 90th minute and why Otamendi keep trying to shoot all the time is just......what do they think will happen when they try that?

Lucas Alario should be in the squad over Bendetto.

Lanzini surely should be there too.

Banega is so fucking frustrating. He obviously got talent, but he is so fucking dumb.
