Haha, i am seriously welcoming you here on board. Glad to have someone like you with your input. I was joking, and I was highlighting a fact in a stupid way. Maradona initiated this whole movement, he just used the wrong personel. It was deemed foolish and crazy but in fact all it did was just cross the very fine line between genius/ambitious and pure foolishness/insanity. This formation isn’t very different from maradona’s as he thought the energy from the wingers would provide enough defensive cover for a pinned back 5 and enough width to let the front 3 operate as needed. All sabella did was take out maxi and put in gago for a pinned 6 and let the fantastic four work their magic as there is a ton of it. Barcelona attack with 6 players but they can afford to as their defense doesn’t suffer waves and waves of attack because barca keeps possession…this will be far from ideal and might be exposed and just might be the only insane way of succeeding with this much talent congested in one area…

Haha fair enough! I agree with your general point. About possession though, I think the Argies can be a very good possession team. After all, in South Africa they were the second best possession team after Spain, they were just ridiculously easy to play through on the counter because Masch was doing all the defensive work. If Banega can stay focused and he comes back into the side he can take them up another level in the posession stakes. He was the main midfielder of the only side I have ever seen reduce Barcelona to "only" 54% possession at the Nou camp back in 2010, which is pretty much unheard of against this new era Barca.

Chile's dominating the game completely. The goal should be a matter of time. Argentina looks lost.
