Fabregas just said they were playing 5 attackers and 5 defenders, didnt see the whole game but they were pretty disjointed.

More 5 attackers who couldn't attack and 5 defenders who couldn't defend

you must spread the football around before you give it to h8kurdt again.

Poor old Pablo Zabaleta, this is his first punditry gig for the BBC and he has to talk through that shambles

His accent is so bizarre. Couldn't get my head around it.

argentina wasted an early chance, but the game was pretty even until caballero gave away the goal

the second half... i just dont understand it

fatigue? a lack of morale?

would love to see a michael cox breakdown of this massive fail

mascherano stopping before the third goal with his hand up was pathetic

haha yeah i saw that Mascherano offside appeal, hilarious, he knew he couldnt stop Rakitic so his brain ticked through it's list of go-to tricks and settled on appealing for offside.
I might go on the Iplayer and watch that second half again

this gives me mental satisfaction:

finally an answer to my question

Be fair, he did get them to the final 4 years ago, and they seemed to be suffering from the same dysfunctional relationship with him back then as well

no, that was sabella

right?

sampaoli won copa america #1 with CHILE

It was his free kick in the quarter final right?

I do agree that this settles the fact Ronaldo is the player who can intimidate and drag lesser teammates to be better than they would ever be in a way that Messi cannot.

OH YOU MEAN MESSI

i thought you meant the coach

because the article lays the blame squarely at the coach’s feet, in spite of the headline. as sampaoli himself admitted today.

and aguero has come up in the argie newspapers shiting on sampaoli

sampaoli tried putting messi out and give him all the balls and therefore set themselves up for predictability(see:h8kurdt)

beyond what the article said, remember when they took out el kun? demonyo’s question is up there ^^^

why didnt they ADD higua instead of doing a man for man switch

o well. all is lost, as robert redford would say ha ha ha

tomorrow the vikings will send argentina to valhalla

I CALLED IT BACK IN APRIL!

NOW will you motherfuckers listen to me?

SMITE!
SMITE!
SMITE!

LOL

i remember that. i certify it hasn’t been doctored.

here’s a cookie! :D

Argentina was truly terrible yesterday. Playing 3-4-3 with such a poor midfield against one of the best midfield squads in the tournament (Modric-Rakitic-Perisic-Brozovic ... world class) is a suicide mission.

bummer! I forgot to put the subs that were playing in my squad, so now I've lost 6 points. Or not really lost, but they are not counting.

shit, me too. I've got Xhaka on my bench and a Nigerian dude as well.

Honestly, if Brazil had a manager with balls, like Alf Ramsey, who'd be willing to drop Neymar I reckon they'd be a better team. Coutinho is just wasted playing deep.

im loving the var

where is that bitch neymars yellow card

if not for simulation he got it for his shitty tantrum lol

someone please punch him

that elbow man. please throw him out

someone call the colombians

Belgian commentator said that Neymar during halftime in the tunnel waited for the referee to ask him about how to fix his haircut. Because he owns a hair studio
