  1. Argentina suffers from overwhlming control of their world star Messi, very bad for collective team football
    same for portugal and Brazil, theirs stars are killing the team spirit

  2. Argentinas defense was a 9/10
    The best I've seen they played it their all !!
    The Goal Keeper 8/10
    Armani was great he steeped up he got out of his goal box to get the ball he kicked the ball out he protected pretty well

    Offense
    Messi Stepped up Big Time
    Luckily Rojo Scored that goal
    They need to fix the offense
    Every time they had they the ball and moved up they got attacked and there was no Argentinian around to pass the ball too

    Sampaoli needs to put in
    Dybala, Aguerro, in as starters
    Along side with Messi
    So they can score Goals in the first half

  3. dybala and lo celso …overlooked for meza and perez….meza is playing for a team in argentina league that is not even in top 4 in the league .. he couldve atleast brought in perotti…this team selection…man hurts my head …even a kid would put a better team on paper

  4. The coach didn’t decide the lineup AFA told the Argentinian players to play whoever they want and that the coach has no power, Messi basically decided the lineup and who he wanted to play with.

  5. I remember the guy on the right being really arrogant in the start of the tournament saying no surprises would happen in the group stages. Who named him football expert ?

  6. Argentina do not be afraid and worried, in the 2018 world cup game it's normal to lose and win, but one thing you are staggering, and sprinkle love for everyone. also for my brother Lionel Andres Messi. I am your fan, know that this is all to bring you to love the Lord Jesus Christ, and those around you either friends or enemies, that this world is indeed what they want if we can be destroyed. but with His precious Blood makes us strong and enthusiastic. so love the wife, children and give love to them, also the country / people of Argentina, Israel, Barcelona team, because we better be friends with the Children of God, because we always love God. if we love this world it is certainly not worthy to be the son of Abraham, my true greetings, your fans Samuel Simanullang (Batak) from Indonesia, Messi.Amien Hallelujah.

  7. Well, they forgot that Marcos Rojo slain Nigeria before and that this performance ain't new (just look up for him in the previous World Cup). By the way, these guys really don't like Argentina's team, and that's all around too, but that adds up, the current Sub Champion is turning into somewhat of a bad boy of the picture, and that's just fun.

  8. Argentina played very poorly again and even though Sampaoli correctly started Banega this time (excellent pass to Messi) he was blind to see how poor Di Maria was whole game, only to wait late in the game to sub him out. He waited too long. Also i can't understand his fixation with Meza. Dybala who is arguably the second best player on the squad is getting 0 minutes in the most crucial game. Sampaoli with his mistakes and with poor on-field performances Argentina should go out against France. I really wanted Argentina to win but Sampaoli and his decisions are making me crazy

  9. Man – imagine Messi made more runs off the ball and had service even similar to what Banega did today.

    Seriously, that run by Messi and that service from Banega in midfield was the first time I've seen that, period.
