People need to calm down wrt our signings and spending. Our managers not even started yet & most players are still either on holiday or some still at the WC.
Yet there's a couple of meltdowns already with how much were spending and who we signing.
Herrera, Shaw, maybe Vermaelen & most importantly LVG are already a huge signal of intent!

Yep, very bitter comment to make. If they were ordinary, your team was shit Marc.
He's right though. Argentina bore the complete shit out of me too..
Wow
I hear Wilmots is an ordinary manager.
Well they had the lead, the incentive was on Belgium to do something. Argentina was comfortable throughout and were 1-0 up so why would they change? In the end it's about the result and not how they win the game. For club football you can expect good football along with winning, but internationals it's all about winning.
Wilmots was probably asked whether he was impressed by Argentina or whether they can win the World Cup etc..?
And he is being honest.
And he is being honest.
I meant the whole tournament man. Its one of the worst Argie teams i've seen in terms of style. Its all about gettin the ball to Messi & hopin he does something sweet with it..
He's an ordinary manager though.
Wilmots did all right, Belgium's team is still relatively young and I think they will do better at the 2018 world cup. He needs to give credit to Argentina though.
They could have twisted what he said no doubt. Same as the reports of what Vida said at the Inter unveiling - that he should have left United alot sooner..
Wov, if Argentina is an ordinary team what does that makes Belgium and Wilmots..?
Below ordinary?
LvG could be the biggest signing of the lot.
I dont think he is at all.. I found him quite cool. What other manager would bring 2 clowns & a midget to the World Cup with him?
Yep, absolutely. He could probably have taken our team as it was last season & make them challenge for top 4. (I'm not saying top 4 but make us challenge).
Hang on, last season not making top 4 was unthinkable after strolling the league the year before.
So I think top managers would definitely have got us top 4.
Your post is like Moyes-apologist propaganda!
He could say best of luck, but anything other than that he'd be lying..
A microphone shouldnt be shoved in someone's mush straight after a match - especially if you feel aggrieved etc..
I hope anyone but Brasil or Argentina win the Cup - Holland preferably!
Rodwell was, to be fair, often injured for Everton. He's not played as much as he could partly because of that.
No need to get so defensive my man. I'm no Moyes apologist, though when he was appointed - I was firmly in his camp.
Was a huge mistake by us though.
Wrt my post - I MEANT if he took last seasons team (without new signings) into the coming season - he could have us challenging top 4. Sound a bit better to you?
Yep. I think it's a good thing if i'm honest. Look at the quality sides still in, with Chile only just out. Herrera and Shaw could be wrapped up since they were both available, who's to say we're not talking to the representatives of someone still playing?
Do you actually rate this Argie team?
Absolutely, or when LVG (who's already cancelled any holiday) is officially available he could personally talk to & convince some targets of his vision & ideas etc.
The pull of a manager like that is priceless.
Alot more fun to watch than the Argies play...
"Hump it to the clowns ffs.. hump itttttttttttt.."
Someone summed it up quite well though RHD. International or most 6-7 match tournaments for that reason, is all about results. There's no point in being the most entertaining side but getting nowhere.
Wrt to your specific point - this Argie side has been much poorer then the 1 who through qualifiers & especially sides of the past. But they're making progress and if they suddenly hit some form & blast their way to the title - the group games aren't going to matter much. In the bigger scheme of things, neither Brazil, the Germans or the Dutch (since the first game) have been amazing this World Cup. It's been one of those WC's.
Costa Rica, Chile, France, Colombia & Algeria have probably been some of the most entertaining teams.
Bang average for me. Messi and a couple of other decent players, but a few square pegs in round holes.
Too many players hiding and waiting for Messi to turn it on - and Di Maria will be a miss if he's out for the rest of the tournament.
Oh, i totally agree with all of that regarding results etc.. Just was expecting to see alot more flair from them. Everyone looks forward to seeing them at the WC.
Is there a drought of flair players in Argentina at the moment, because they just seem to be hard-working / industrious - like the Germans always seem to be at tournaments?!
Its been a brilliant WC - really exciting most of the time. Best one for me since Italia 90 - when Ireland did so well, plus Nessun Dorma of course..
This cracks me up!
Monaco doesn't fulfil a contract, and in protest, a player decides not to fulfil his.
Fecking LMAO!
I always root for the Argies, but not this time though. Too many of them arent willing to take any responsibility to win games & just feedin Messi the ball all the time. As much as i love watchin Messi - its a team game more importantly.
If they dont win the WC - Messi will probably be blamed & if they win - he'll get all the plaudits.. Very fine line there..
