World Cup 2018

[KingMessi]

Ddn't they won 3 CLs in a row with Messi around? While we with Messi in it were humiliated in Europe?

You make it sound like we got beaten by RM on their way to the title every time. It's a team game and RM have a better team dynamic than we do. They have had that since the latter half of 15/16.

Messi cant play in midfield because he dont want to run


Messi cant play as false 9 with his lack of movement

What he can do then?

Are you seriously blaming Messi? This Argentina team is so shit. There's no quality in it besides Messi..... or no creative quality.

 

[tacticvarium]

Wonder why guys like BBZ even come here and bother themselves calling Cules.
Seriously they should just go support Mou instead.

 

[NotInHere]

Against Argentina any forward could appear as the next Pele

how old is mbappe again? 19? Not too bad for a 19 year old or 20, just like how Messi looked back when he was his age.

Pogba has impressed me, thought he was a bit of a nothing player with fancy tricks, thats my impression of him the few times i watched United, but then, perhaps United is struggling to get the best out of some of their players. Totally run the show today.

An abnormal game from him. He usually is not that great. I guess Argentina are that bad.

 

[KingMessi]

To be fair Messi didn't even score in the KO rounds of that WC. Not like he's ever made a massive impact in any Argentina WC matches

They wouldn't have made it out of the group without him?

Messi can play false 9, but it's a team sport and if his team continue to make stupid decision's then it is hard for him. They have got to be the dumbest team in the tournament, say what you want about the Barca team but atleast they are intelligent. Someone as smart as Messi needs people around who aren't idiot's.

I dont put all the blame on him


But he doesnt stand out much from that arg side

 

[JamDav1982]

Messi walks to ball miscontrols it in final third then stops.

Fucking terrible to watch that.

 

[ThwiX]

2 matches in whole season

Well, with how little joy this Barca side has brought us in recent seasons, I’ll take that all day.

And one of the reasons they have a better team dynamic is that every player works hard for the team. Which Barca players, including Messi, don't do. It's about intensity at this level, and hard work. If you don't have either, like Messi, then you fail. It's that simple.

I'm watching the game with my family and they've been trashing Messi left and right ...calling him lazy af and that Argentina would be winning with Dybala/Icardi instead. Ouch!

 

[El Gato]

For all the flak Mascherano gets and how clumsy he is, he's the only guy with real ability to fight back on that team. A true soldier.

Here's the thing.... Messi would also be winning with those 2 out there.

Haha you told us Germany had the best balance of 'physical' players etc now its France when first team in QF.

On paper Germany had an awesome team.
In reality they were a mess with some horrible individuals like Muller, Werner, Ozil.
