Argentina is the team that deserves the least to be in the finals, Sabella is atroucious as a coach, the midfield is a joke, the defense is amateurish, and the 4-3-1-2 formation smells of Bilardism.
But with all that I want the albiceleste to win.
Regarding Barcelona, a mistake getting Bravo after signing Ter Stegen, one of them will go out the same way Rustu Recber went out, my money is on the german leaving on loan. The right way to do it, was to get Stegen, and get a 34-35 year old as a backup, someone like Julio Cesar or Cech.
Rakitic, a decent signing, he is not Fabregas, he is not Xavi, he is not Iniesta, he isnt even Keita, which makes me believe that Barcelona mgmt is betting on a slow, aging Xavi to lead again, big mistake.
Looks like Alexis is on his way to Arsenal, good move, after the wc he had, he resembled a bit that player at Udinese, now was the time to sell him, he is not a saint of my devotion and between him and Pedro, I chose Pedro since Pedro can actually shoot and score 1 of every 3 chances.
There is still a huge defender gap to fill and looks like Zubizarreta instead of going for 2 good options he is going for 1 overpriced CB.
The current mgmgt lacks balls, lacks vision, the same balls and vision that other teams such as Juve had when they went for Pogba, all because of the shitty unchangeable tiki taka mentality. Mark my words, Barcelona will flop this season again, they will bring an strict coach to reset the team, then find a decent long term replacement in the next 2 years,
Cycle always repeats Cruyff - Robson - Van Gaal, Rikjaard - Pep - Tito, Martino - Enrique - ?; the only difference now is that unlike Van Gaal and Pep, Enrique doesnt have the same authority with signings and somehow mgmt expects him to continue with the same Pep formula that worked in 2008.
