World Cup 2018

No one can carry this Argentina side, im pretty sure the Argentina Maradona played for was significantly better, at least as a team.
Portugal will go out as well, Uruguay are a much better side, its unlikely Ronaldo will be able to carry them.

Portugal plays like a team. And every player works his ass off. And they have a top manager. That's 3 things Argentina don't have. Argentina were hilarious at this WC. A team with stars who don't work hard, and defenders who work hard but are simply too dumb and untalented for this level.

He may not be the best manager, but he's still a good one. And he's much better than Sampaoli.

Sampaoli was the best thing since sliced bread on this forum 18 months ago.
Barca Dna coach, people said.

That's funny because a lot of people here wanted Sampaoli as our manager or Arg not long ago.

So much focus on this 'two assists'.

One was a shit shot deflected into the goals ffs.

Other one was great but too little too late.

Hilarious.

At least you can cheer your Ronaldo on later.

I didn't expect Argentina to beat France anyway.... so I honestly don't care.

I never wanted him. Lol

He was really untested 2 years ago.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Good manager? Lol.

He is a good manager, no doubt.

Aye you are right.

Great point again.

About all you have left really so keep repeating it.

Some team...outplayed by Spain(salvaged a draw, somehow), outplayed by Morocco for large parts of the game (yet won), did okay vs Iran.
Individual moments saw them through, as a team, they are pretty dire.

I for one think this Argentina team outperformed my expectations (expected a 4-0 or so).. I did not see 3 goals in this side in any given game..lol..thats how bad they are both personnel wise and tactically..and even though France may suck, European teams have for quite some time now been well set up tactically and well coached and thats why South American teams have struggled to beat European teams.. That being said, Argentina are so bad defensively, they ended up making Mbappe looking the next coming of Maradona..

At least he plays his best players and doesn't keep changing the team around every game.

So? They were outplayed by most of the teams at the Euro, but with hard work and team spirit they pulled through. They also have the greatest goal scorer in their team and some technical players to support him with above average service. And a top manager to put it all together.

To be honest, Portugal aren't a great side, but they are a good team and I'm not sure teams can afford to treat the European Champions lightly.

It's really hard to be worse than Sampaoli has been.

Still, deschamps lacks the thing that Zidane has. Motivating players.

 

[likeafire]

Amazing he kept bringing on Meza, even that chance right at the end, Meza fucks it up blasts it high.

If that's the future of Argentina after Messi then LOL
