  11. I'm not sure that Sampaoli's T-Shirt and tatoo are the main issue here. You guys might be slightly missing the point. Awesome analysis by the way. Well, gotta go. I've listened to a third of this vid, and i think it's enough. Can't handle too much of this analysis of high quality at one time.

  27. Fucking hell, the excuses around Argentina are getting ridiculous. Why is Messi not scrutinized when playing badly the way that Ronaldo is? He missed a penalty in the first game and was invisible in the second; some of the blame has to be on him. But now we hear ridiculous shit like: “The team is built too much around Messi”… that doesn’t even make freaking sense. Isn’t that supposed to make Messi stand out more? How is that bad for Messi? “The team is just too bad”… Agüero is the only reason Argentina even has one point. Besides, Portugal has a way worse squad and they are playing as badly as Argentina but Ronaldo is still slaying. Shouldn’t we expect Messi to do the same? “4 players are marking Messi”… I thought Messi was supposed to be the master dribbler? Why doesn’t he just use his infamous dribbling? Or even better, why doesn’t he just go score a tap-in then? I have heard that those are supposed to be easy? Also, if 4 players (the entire back line) were actually marking Messi it would leave everyone else open as a result but we didn’t see that. Fanboys are just making up lies to justify Messi’s performance.

    Then there is the ever-present Messi fanboy argument: “Ronaldo gets carried by his teammates, Messi carries his teammates”. Again, we’re seeing the exact opposite. Messi has made Argentina worse at this World Cup. Lastly, Messi is a disgraceful captain. He said he doesn’t want to sing the national anthem and before the Croatia game he was just face-palming and staring into his hand when the other players were singing. Also, there’s the whole retirement thing after Copa America and he is gonna retire again after the World Cup. This time for good. Probably the best thing for Argentina.

  35. But it's not as if all these guys dress well, very weak jackets, poor combinations of shirts and tie. You guys should go and learn how to dress well, you guys are one of the worst dressed presenters on international TV, no kidding.

  41. Did Sampaoli take Money or is he HIGH !!!! No Dybala,,No Di Maria,, taking out Aguero,,no rojo??? What is he Doing?? why is Argentina not SACKING this clueless a** H*** and let MESSI choose the SQUAD???

  45. argetina need to play a 4-4-2. ST- aguero and messi CM benega and beglia LM di maria RM dybala CB mascherano and otamendi LB lavon RB mercado or have mascherano play CM with benega and have razzie play CB with otamendi that would be my formation lineup.
