TRon Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Do Argentina actually have any strikers of note (apart from Messi)? They look toothless up front, no idea how they are so highly rated. Not kidding, Jao Pedro would make them look 10x better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 If it stayed like this Argentina would go into the last game needing to win by two clear goals to get through. Which seems highly unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Absolutely terrible match. So little quality. Tournament's been a let-down on the whole so far, like. I've not seen every one but there's only been like two matches I've enjoyed more-or-less from start to finish (Argentina/Saudi and England/Iran). So many uninteresting encounters.

cubaricho Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Mexican fans are class at places like the World Cup. Total cunts when it’s a match against the US in America, but class outside of that. Love seeing them turn up in massive numbers in ridiculous costumes.

Lautaro is really good, I think the problem is they can’t get the ball there at all. Dybala has to come in soon to take some attention away from Messi.

ponsaelius Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 There's just so many spoiling sides that have the mid-season match fitness to pull it off. Mexico are usually a good watch but they've got very little quality up top by their standards so have been instead been extremely good at nullifying this game completely through intensity and physicality.

Wolfcastle Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) As bad a game as you could ever see. Poor refereeing too. That said the edge, the atmosphere and the scenario is enough for me. I get entertainment out of such like all the same. Sometimes more than open games. Maradona could take better set plays in those charity kick-abouts a few years ago than Messi. Edited November 26, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Just going to put it out there in case history repeats. Same situation as 1990, racuous atmosphere, rotten game, Argentina second game broke the deadlock with a massive cock-up by the Soviets (iirc unless that was the second goal).

ponsaelius Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Martinez is a great striker but it's hardly his fault in this game. They've not been able to get the ball anywhere close to attacking areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I kinda enjoyed the Canada game, pulling for them and they deserved it. Didn't see Saudi-Argentina. Everything else I've seen has been dire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
