Defenders in Spain are shit. Barcelona in South America would still be champions, but they wouldn't win by huge margins the way they do over there.

See what i told you, Messi sucks ass without his barcelona teammates, Argentina is better without Messi, but hey don´t mind me all I know is that Uruguay or Ecuador will win because Brazil is not a top tier in this cup.

Argentina better without Messi? lulz


I thought he had a good game, just not up to his ridiculous level he usually plays at. They need to use him the right way.
-He's dropping far too deep. He's not receiving the ball at the penalty area.
-The midfield has to perform slightly better.
-He has to get by 7 players just to score.
-Another thing is that Argentina as a whole need better movement to drag defenders.

These are some highlights from Messi today

and not because the bolivian defense was great.

BTW, I couldn't see the complete match yesterday. Copa América = B-tier football.

This match on a whole was disappointing Argentina started off great then slowly fizzled out. They showed some great positioning at times, as compared to Maradona's team who ran around to field like some headless chickens for 90 mintues, but this team honestly needs to find its own style and stop trying to emulate Barca.

So because you personally couldnt be bothered to turn on the TV, the tournament is B-tier?

fascinating.

i couldnt see the complete match because i was falling asleep. It was boring as hell. Argentina played below expectations and call Bolivia "mediocre team" is a compliment.

Btw, i hope Brazil and Uru help me to change my mind.

Lol, I share the opinion that Xavi and Iniesta are way more important for Barcelona than Messi but he's still the best player in the world and to say any team is better without him is ridiculous.

Ganso and Neymar are leaving, so I don't believe so. The South American teams have a big handicap due to the calendar of the CWC.

You know Argentina played better when Maradona was coaching them.

There, I said it.

AFA should stop playing stupid and hire Marcelo Bielsa again or at least Carlos Bianchi. This team should be dominating international football under a good coach.

colombia's defense is quite good but Costa Rica...dont expect anything jizztastic....their defense is quite bad sometimes so Im sure Colombia will pull through unless they choke like they mostly do when attacking.

I dont know how they are doing nowadays as I haven't been following them lately, but in the past the Colombia team has shown to be quick.

Wait, wtf?

What did Guzman (#8) from Costa Rica just get yellow'd for?

He was completely away from the free kick. Was he talking shit to the ref or something?

Holy shit.

That was awesome. lol

The entire Costa Rica line of defense ran behind the Bolivian offense right before Bolivia executed the cross off the free kick.

That made everyone offside. lmfao

Is it me or is this game pace MUCH slower than yesterdays? Its winter and the crowd are wearing coats, so I dont think its the heat. These teams are just slow?

There wasn't anything intentional or malicious about it. He went for the ball and looked like he maybe got a toe on it.

Ref overreacted to their legs getting tangled.

The ref's spray painting the field now. lol

Embarrassing showing by Colombia. Costa Rica looks like a high school team.
Game should be 3 - 0 by now.

Many players have clauses in their contract that say they return to their old team for the CWC.

Did they not include this?
