Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico

I don't understand how you come to a World cup and make 5 changes after a loss. It doesn't reflect on the manager at all
 
Argiecafe must have a "can Martinez play DM?" thread by now.
 
Argentina don't have anyone who can keep the ball in midfield.

They look like United with Fred and Mctominay. Part of me wants them to lose due to the overhype, but I also want to see a world class performance from Lisandro
 
This game needs a stronger referee. Orsato is one of the worst.
 
Haha hits the shoulder complains about the head
 
Still not seeing why Argentina were such big favorites before the tournament started. Their midfield is ehhh and Di Maria and Messi are past it.

in copa america their midfield wasn't good, but wasn't so exposed either. which gave the platform to a very in-form messi. martinez and di maria were also very good.

this time they can't cope with pressing, and both Messi and AdM look their age.
 
Ref set the tone by giving those early nothing fouls. Need the Clattenburg school of get the feck up refereeing here
 
I can’t believe there’s an Argentina player who’s been at Brighton for years, who I can’t remember ever seeing play. Clearly I haven’t been paying enough attention, should I know who Mac Allister is?!
 
I'm here for Lisandro only, but where the hell is the Argentine midfield??? It's a mess.

Loving the shithousery from both teams though :D
 
Was already falling before getting hit
 
Argentina have good midfielders but the manager has them all on the bench for some reason :confused:

I almost enjoy it sometimes, as long as a team I'm supporting isn't involved and there's a little bit of actual football played too.

The match has the feel of one of those mental Libertadores games. :drool:
 
feck me, it feels like Guardado, Herrera, Moreno, and Ochoa have been on that team since the last millennium. They just need Rafael Marquez.

When they were showing the team lineups I looked at the Mexico bench expecting Rafa Marquez to still be there
