@MigunaMiguna But what is the obsession with black people accusing European and American sides with having more white players, etc? I get the Argentina case, but at the same time, we have Congo, Ghana, and Senegal that have black players only. Representation or lack of is not a racism-meter!
@appiecule Scaloni knows his team's biggest strength is with the ball. He knows their greatest liability is Messi when they don't have the ball. Therefore, he is putting players who will ensure Argentina have the ball most of the time to cover the weakness.
@tobyasky Football is changing. It is becoming more 1v1 all over the pitch. Nyland won his 1v1 against Bruno G, and Halaand won his 1v1 against Brazil. Endrick lost his against Nyland. You get your chance, use it otherwise you will be punished.
@BouafifNour But he is so poor off the ball. The only advantage is that almost all the top teams in this World Cup have at least one lazy player who is not interested in running when out of possession. Mbappe, Yamal, Messi, Ronaldo, Halaand, etc.
@_m20ii If you hear a coach say this, just know that the number of things that he has learnt from this game alone is massive. I am eager to see how he will implement the lessons going forward. These could be tactical, psychological, mental, or even football basics lessons
@Tobislim02@tobyasky Argentina control games. The only problem is that they get too complacent to the extent of losing their own tempo when slowing down games. They did that against France in the Qatar; and again today was another illustration
@Oluwatobii_1@tobyasky I am not saying that he did not play well. I just said it was not the best of games for his standards. He lost too many battles that he normally would win. Lost a few more 50/50 than normal. Sloppy with the ball more often today than normal
@MrDtAFC Martinelli has scored 2 goals this season. All goals coming when he plays down the middle. That should tell us something about his position. This kid is a striker and not a winger ffs. He outruns everyone on the wing beyond the line for a goal kick. Imagine those runs at CS
