Called it from the start, long before the final score. Too slow, too old. Under that heat. Problem. Final score?

There is absolute no way Scaloni starts so many of them in the next game. In fact would argue, his next line up sees a massive injection of younger and faster players. Di Maria and Uncle on the other flank were bread and milk.txj wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 12:50 pmThe Mexican team I've watched the last two years does not have the organizationCoach wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 12:49 pm Will interesting to see the pacey Old Men up against the energiser bunnies of Mexico. If the Rey Mysterios are fully charged, they’ll ask the Argies to run more than a Kenyan in a steeplechase. Lose here and could well be curtains for the fleet footed Di Maria and co.
Every game is different.
I'm talking about the here and now.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

I mean, this team has Otamendi as the centreback, Messi as their talisman, and Di Maria on the wings. Father time remains undefeated.

The Argentina fans are glued to their seats. They don't know whether they are dreaming or not.

Re: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia 1-2 FT
This game even makes me despise Rohr more, that German fraud actually instilled the mindset into many of us that it was ok to lose to the team with "better" players, maybe that's why this present crop of Nigerian players are so mentally lazy and so quick to accept defeat...the Saudis aren't an elite team but look how how they played their lungs out today against one of the best teams in the world...e no go better for Rohr walahi

For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

Re: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia 1-2
They were sold a dream. I could be wrong, but this team looks like they are headed for an early exit.
Re: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia 1-2 FT
That ref did everything in his power to help Argentina. Disgraceful.
Congrats to Saudi Arabia. I'm really happy for them.

This victory was not as much a fluke as most would think.
Saudi Arabia have been solid under Herve Renard. Croatia struggled to beat them 1-0 even after introducing all of their stars in the second half. They are compact and have good chemistry.
I EXPECTED them to pull off some sort of surprise, though this was a bit more than I bargained for.
In fact I messaged my brother before the match telling him that KSA were defensively solid but offensively poor.
I expected a tight affair. I never liked Herve Renard (don't know why), but I must say he is the real deal. One of the best foreign coaches of underdog teams in history.

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Re: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia 1-2 FT
I woke up late and only started watching the game in the second half around 57 minutes. Despite all the referee (read FIFA) assistance, the worthless--and racist--Argies could not win? Allahu Akbar! God is truly great. I think I will break out the bottles of wine this early momo to celebrate. All of una who think Messi is the GOAT, gerrara hia! The man has the heart of a housefly. When the going gets tough, the Messis disappear. GOAT my arse.

Re: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia 1-2
All that is needed is for Poland and Mexico to play a strategic game and shut the Argies out. Two draws and they going home.
