In all honesty, Argentina had more ball posession. This means a lot to this team and the country. We were tied with same victories (still on cups) draws and accomplishments at all levels and though this keeps it that way, makes our small country to give back to the big brother some of the grief they produce us. I'm sorry for Messi, he's a stud.

From page 1:


Batista is a dog. They won't play like Barça because we can't make 3 passes without turning it over. That said, what I want to see is what the defense looks like. That's what basically define whether they're contender or pretenders. If you see guys like Burdisso or Carrizo, we're done.

Argentina hasn't had a real coach for years....... and their main issue is defense, while Argentina has the best forwards/strikers, they could easily be the "phoenix suns" of the tournament..... Brazil has the best defense in the world and everybody will play Arg counterattacking.... Sorry but I think it'll be another big disappointment .... and it'll be Messi's fault for most idiots.

I know the feeling, the WC didn't mean shit to me after we lost to Holland tbh...

Do you agree that the main problem is Grondona?

Definitely starts at the top. Ultimately Grondona can say "Hey, I wasn't the problem when we won two World Cups", and you could argue that he's right.
He also hired some capable coaches in Bielsa and Pekeman, but you already know Argentina is a collection of schizophrenics. From the media to the fans, everyone wants to win the Copa America and the World Cup by just showing up. They make a hobby of destroying their idols when the team loses or putting them at the top of every pedestal when the team wins.

tbh, I lived to see what was probably the best of Argentina's soccer for a long time, and you've been up there and the expectations are so high, it takes time to adjust to new realities.
Fundamentally speaking, Argentina has produced great forwards, and decent midfielders, but since Samuel there has not been good defenders of note, and that's really been hurting the team a lot.

Obviously, hiring inexperienced coaches like Diego or Batista doesn't help.

I think that Argentina would have advanced a lot more without Maradona in '94, but since then Argentina has trouble winning the Copa America and they couldn't reach semi-finals at World Cups since Italy '90. Given the FIFA rankings, success at club level and available talent it should go better.

I'm not sure what happened in Copa America 2011. The game vs Uruguay could have gone either way, but still there were 3 sub-par games out of 4.

Crofl Brazil, it looked like if they missed on purspose.

crofl penalties, 90% of the time the team that did less to win during regulation ends up stealing the game on penalties. When a game ends up in tie, the team with most chances should get the W, imo. This would encourage offensive play.

Maybe so, El Nono, but Argentina and Brasil are obviously still a step above even though they don't look all that good. There's definitely more parity, but is that because other countries have stepped up their game or simply because the powerhouses have come down? I think its the latter.

I think the smaller teams have improved. Venezuela used to be the Guadaloupe of the Conmebol. Chile used to be really poor too until Zamorano and Salas came around. Paraguay used to be very limited and easily beatable.
Bolivia used to only win at home because of the altitude. Peru also used to be super weak. They don't roll over anymore.

Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay could be a step above on paper, and probably are favorites to qualify for the next WC. But it's not as easy as it used to be.

the hand was filthy but I didn't mind it.

Let's just say Suarez is the CP3 of soccer. A whining, flopping, annoying bitch that never commited a foul in his life. And a master flopper, he has gotten a minimum of 5 players yellow or red cards in the last 4 games, on pure manufactured flops.

It's not the typical soccer flop where you feel some contact and drop to the floor. No. He plans the flop minutes in advance, creates the contact himself and then flops.

Nope. There were at least 6 fouls called where he would lean forward instead of jumping up for the header, baiting Burdisso and Milito to jump over him, and grabbing his head and whining. Maybe 1 of those were an actual foul.

Perez should have been sent off for the first foul he commited AND for the one he got sent off too, it wasn't a hard tackle but it was a tactic foul to stop a counter that's an automatic yellow. Mascheranos wasn't a hard foul nor a counterattack preventing one, it was nothing. But Amarilla had red carded an Uruguayan so he had to compensate.

After that Mascherano red, Suarez made a hard sliding tackle from behind and didn't get a yellow. Amarilla's reffing was a joke.
