Very impressive defensive performance!

It reminds me of playing a game where you heartrate never quite settles... and it takes you time to get into the game. By the time the Belgians settled, they were already disjointed and their key players were never able to get hold of the game...txj wrote:Cellular wrote:He is young... it happens with young players.tfco wrote:kpomBigpokey24 wrote:Lukaku, should have started

My personal biases aside, he's a very good player.
After 5mins of the game, Argentina never allowed them a foothold in the game and forced them to depend on crosses into the box...

Coach wrote:@Tx, the display was certainly regimental, but far from devastating. The overall display was poor, they had a knockdown in the early exchanges and opted to hold and lock arms till the twelfth's bell. Nothing about this display suggests the formidable, Belgium were diabolical, Wilmots caught in more minds than a cross dressing Norman Bates. One is all but certain he had no idea what Fellani's role was, not least today, but throughout the tournament. Belgium were absolutely astrategic, the nes plus ultra of ansolute nothingness. Pathetic.

Not a fan of Argentina but I loved them in this game... They found a way to shore up their defense...
Like you said, the loss of Aguero allowed them for more balance and to be more industrious with the approach... i.e., more team oriented.

On the negative side, the team remains crap and its unlikely we'll improve this tournament. Not enough quality and over-reliance of Messi. Palacio, Lavezzi and Higuain offer nothing. Despite his goal, Higuain was sloppy and his work rate was poor. There was a moment around the 65th minute where Higuain was casually strolling up the pitch and just watched as Lavezzi cut in from the left trying to make something happen. Higuain is one of several -1s on this team.
Di Maria's loss was huge and I think we could've scored 1-2 more had he remained present. Hopefully he is fit for Wednesday.
This is the worst Argentina WC team since 1982 yet we're in the semis after 5 consecutive mediocre performances. I suspect Holland will thrash us in the semis like they should. The main reason Argentina has made it this far is due to lack of competition.
I'm happy with the win but realistically speaking, our WC run ends on Wednesday.

I think he's found his tournament team...
what of Aguero? Is he out for the rest of the tournament too?Heliopolis wrote:I read Di Maria is out of the tournament with a groin/thigh tear
He has been the only player other than Messi able to create chances from nothing. Looks like Messi really is gonna have to do it all
I read Aguero is recovering well and was on the bench (and available) yesterday. My guess is he'll be ready vs Holland but I am not sure if he'll start.FRANK WHITE wrote:what of Aguero?

Sad to see a player injured but other teams have also suffered the loss of important/vital players in this WC so it actually makes things fairer. I'm happy Holland won so they give Argentina a stiff test. I don't care who wins this WC as long as no one gets an easy ride all the way to the final.Heliopolis wrote:I read Di Maria is out of the tournament with a groin/thigh tear
