World Cup 2022

[xxxxxx]

Probably the worst Argentina performance I've ever seen. 1 shot in 45 minutes is absolutely shocking. Scaloni has got his tactics wrong. He's basically playing 5 up top and there is no midfield at all. They should be having people come short to work an opening.

Atmosphere is great but this is a zzz/10 in terms of football. I can't see either team scoring.

 

[Messigician]

Meh I pointed this out ages ago

If I was coaching Argentina they would have a world cup or 2 by now

Enzo for de Paul. Alvarez for either Di Maria or Lautaro. Would probably sub Messi off based on performance but that's not happening

Messi hasn't lost it, and when Argentina does look like doing something, it starts with Messi.

Really boring half.


Even if they draw this game and win vs Poland , they're still pretty much out , no ?

Interesting to see how Argentines would view Messi if the team is out in the group stages in his last world cup

 

[Wambo]

let's see they were also favourite for EURO last year and then lost against Swizz in R16...

The only ones who could challenge them are Spain and Brazil with luck on their side.

NO MIDFIELD AT ALL


EVERYONE ELSE UP TOP

Nah... it's they beat Poland, they'll probably go through. But they can't take the chance.

considering how he's playing some t-shirt burned again I guess

They won Copa America beating Brazil quite comfortably, who most people also have as favorites.

That's like Barca-Real.
Eternal enemies and even if you are off form, you can win.

Majority of their 36 matches without losing is against South American teams and friendlies.

This doesn't look any better than WC:
Iceland 1:1
Croatia 0:3
Nigeria 2:1
France 3:4

Continuing:
Saudi 1:2
Mexico 0:0 for now

Zero wins against semi decent teams (outside South Americans) since 2014'.

When was the last time Argentina only had 1 shot in a half?

 

[utility73]

Argentinia, first of all Scaloni, are a bunch of pathetic cowards.

There wasn?t all that much wrong with how they played in their first match, Saudi Arabia just got way too lucky.
Now they all wear their balls in their asses and hope for a draw?

To be fair to Messi, as soon as he gets it, he has 3 on him. They know if they take Messi out of the game, they basically stop Argentina.

during commentary they said 40 years ago was the last time argentina waited so long for a first shot in a world cup match
