Re: Argentina v Switzerland
Lets go Switzerland!!!
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

If Messi doesn't rescue this team, the Swiss may just pop one in at some point and defend like hell.
Re: Argentina (0) v Switzerland (0)
Is there a manager more reckless with his resources than Sabella. Absolutely pathetic. Argentina have yet to play a single "team" game.
Re: Argentina (0) v Switzerland (0)
I've found myself asking this question quite a bit...is this guy much better than Maradona?? Maradona's teams were unbalanced and basically rubbish defensively but they looked far better in terms of the attacking phase.Coach wrote:Is there a manager more reckless with his resources than Sabella.

Re: Argentina (0) v Switzerland (0)
@Plats, he's comfortably the most useless coach in the competition. For all Maradona's ills, his team had a strategy, a style, this Argentina are as well shaped as an anorexic Olsen twin. Defensively, all at sea, offensively, drowning in that very same sea. Higuain's inclusion makes no sense, his use of Messi is as deleterious as an Obasanjo with the keys to the world bank. The first decent team they come up against, on this evidence, will send them packing. Switzerland can indeed be decent, albeit transiently.

HT. That was sleep inducing.

Re: Argentina (0) v Switzerland (0)
I like what I'm seeing from Argentina so far. Di Maria on the wide right has spread out their attack and he has disturbed the Swiss defence. Messi has been given more space than expected but had a poor half by his standards. Argentina's attack has been a bit too slow to breach the 10-man Swiss defence. On the other hand, Switzerland is committing too many bodies behind the ball that their counter-attack is non-existent.
Higuain has been useless as usual. Romero is such a huge liability...he could have come out and cleared that ball but allowed the Swiss attacker to just go at him 1v1.
This ref has been far too lenient and has not done a good job of protecting the Argentine players. I wonder if an Argentine player needs to get injured before the ref starts using his whistle.
Argentina has this win in the bag with faster transitions to attack.

Re: Argentina (0) v Switzerland (0)
^Very surprising analysis, one's own observations were of a thoroughly useless Argentina with no definable strategy, waiting to be bloody nosed and black-eyed before they realise they're in a ring. Absolutely useless from Sabella, verges on criminality.
Re: Argentina (0) v Switzerland (0)
In addendum, unless Sabella's pulling his willy from within his pocket, he's stretching nothing. Mono-paced, monotonous. A waste of resources.
