WC Qualifiers 2018 - South America

[BarcaVillain]

Lol, the triangle button on the controller was broken and the keeper just kept running towards the ball...

 

[BarcaVillain]

Argentina are a decent side, from watching tonight though it's clear they rely heavily on the Messi influence. Higuain and Masch are big misses too though to be fair to them.

edit: As I type, they score.

Cmon they don't rely on Messi only that's why they swept the South American qualifiers.

THIS QUADRENT:

Messi - Higuain - Aguero - Di Maria is good for 2 goals + a game which makes Argies top contenders since they can outscore their problems at the back.

 

[BarcaVillain]

True. I'm watching tonight to see how effective the squad is without some of their big names. They still play attractive football, they just lack a spark...and Romero has to be one of the worst international keepers I've ever seen.

Intense game in Montevideo. Argentina playing for nothing but still giving hard time to Uruguay.
Very glad Messi and Mascherano are skipping this.

 

[BarcaVillain]

Lol, I'm not sure what that penalty was given for?

 

[Indignado]

What a ridiculous penalty Suárez just got. You'd think that by now every referee knows what an incredible diver he is.

 

[Indignado]

Alexis strikes again

and makes it 1-0 for Chile btw

Yeah, that was such a ridiculous dive.

 

[BarcaVillain]

How old is Maxi?! Still got it!

 

[raedkuwait]

wow Alexis is beasting even the Free kick was dangerous now an assist

 

[Indignado]

2-0 for Chile from Medel after an assist from Alexis

and Argentina scores the equaliser once again

 

[BarcaVillain]

Having looked it up, only 32, thought he was older. Certainly looks worth a place in the squad.

Horrible tactics from Uraguay.

They seem to be letting the Argentina midfield have the ball and are just dropping off and sitting deep. Argentina have all the time/space in the world as Uraguay are playing with two strikers and are a man light in the middle.

Banega and Biglia waltzing about with no one within ten yards of them.

I agree completely. They've underestimated this Argentina side.
