Enzo was my motm after Messi, great game. Didn't score the penalty obviously but what a player

I have Frenkie and the giant Dutch striker ahead of him tbh

Argentina fucked up by dropping too deep after the 2-0 because they were by far the better team today, should have just kept playing, I hate when teams do that, it never works.

Bad tactic when the Netherlands put Luuk and the other tall guy in the offense. You need to press, so they don't get easy to cross to the box. They got too happy just standing in their zone.

This is a main takeaway from this match, Scaloni should take note. If they try to hoofball just press high and don't give away easy fouls.
With guys like L De Jong, you can't be punished for high line easily, just press high.

Hard luck [MENTION=20218]Horatio[/MENTION], you fought till the very end

Messi is all alone in that space behind the striker. Di Maria is the only other player with enough creativity that can make things happen.

Frankie was meh, did his usual run around doing nothing, a bit less running around if I'm being honest.

6.5-7/10

Pretty how is entire career is, 6.5-7's.

True, di maria is absolutely key to how this team functions on the offensive end.

Somewhat similar against Australia. Argentina haven't looked good at all trying to defend a 2-0 lead.

Argentina with a healthy Di Maria and a top winger would be flyin.

Looking forward to France Ingerland tomorrow. Has potential to be a cracking game if Southgate decides not to play terrorball

 

[jamrock]

Like I said re Brazil no team will win the WC with t.silva on their team, man just spreads weakness everywhere he goes.

They should have listened to me.

 

[FCBfan22]

Great games today.

 

[jamrock]

England beating France tomorrow.

 

[fergus90]

Brazil under a bit of pressure spend more time praying instead of focusing on matters in hand.

Surreal seeing Weghorst scoring a world cup double, he was woeful at Burnley. World Cup is great for that.
