ESPN FC’s Shaka Hislop and Julien Laurens react to Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Ecuador courtesy of Lionel Messi’s penalty in CONMEBOL qualifying. Laurens was disappointed by Argentina’s play, saying the team’s attacking play lacked fluidity. Hislop agrees, saying Messi’s side has more questions than answers going forward.

Ecuador brought WWE wrestlers to play Argentina lol
Sevilla is a world class club that beat lpool and Milan in the finals and beat man utd twice one in the CL and one in el semis….so stop treating it like a small club ….ocampos and kounde are going no where … Sevilla will be playing against Chelsea in the CL this season…looking forward to it…. vamos mi sevillaaaaa
When will Argentina have its act together ?
Missy should be booted out of Argentina, what a disgrace for his nation, a quitter, a bottler.
Argentina ain't winning anything with old age pensioner Missy, he walks around like he's looking for a toilet on the pitch

In a South America world cup qualifier, Argentina played well, the standards are different in other continents because the South Americans are so rough
The coach of argentina doesn’t know soccer he should be home with his wife
Common guys, the coach is still doing mistakes, No Di Maria, No Dybala (yes his was sick), No Augero. I still dont understand why they play with these stupid players
1. De Paul (the guy cannot even control the ball)
2. Peredes that guy sucks too.
They said that Messi and Dybala could not play together, that is total BS, because the only time the coach got it right was when Brazil eliminated them in the Copa America and which Argentina faced Chile for 2nd place and won. They had the correct line up and yes Messi and Dybala played together and connected perfectly and won. That the only time the coach got it right.
Augero – Dybala
Di Maria – Messi – Ocampus
Tagliafico – Otamendi – Pezella – Funes Mori
Whats so hard in putting this line up
Thats how you put the mid and forwards.
Jules is just being stupid. If you see how physical the game was and how many fouls the game had you'd know how difficult it is to play fluidly
Lot of teams have growing pains in transition.
ARGENTINA WERE PLAYING WITHOUT THEIR BEST PLAYER-PAULOOOOO DYBALAAA
Argentina and messi has been disappoinment for a very long time now.
Dybala
Messi is not good during international matches. This is not new.
Penalessy
So many fouls man the game was really physical
Football is becoming a joke now . It's too much in the hands of refs now & a ref can decide a Game better than Players. I remember watching last season's la liga where Some of the other team's were spearing Barcelona players but no cards or penalties but when Barca players didn't even touch at times ?Penalty were awarded to other teams . Same is happening in EPL where if Man City's defence touches another team ? It's foul but almost no penalties are given to them while Liverpool & United gets a lot just by diving . Remember the Bayern vs PSG final ? Mbappe's foot was smashed by a Bayern player but no Penalty was given & if u replace the name with Liverpool or United ? English Media would have called it rigged . Coming to the video , Ecuador played like it's WWF not like football . against such teams , if u win ? It's a good thing .
These shabby Analysts are always on Messi's case
Only scored goals this. Both from penaties ? guess the player
Wdym bigger club ?? Sevilla is good , it’s it’s top 5 in la liga , they are in the champions league this season and won Europa league last season
Why not talking about Brazil vs Bolivia
Argentina need Papu Gomez.
Lionel Pessi strikes again
Yes Argentina will start feeling pain for the absence of Angel Di Maria.
Compared to euro nations conmebol teams play lesser matches no nations league very less friendly matches so I think it’s a bit harsh to criticise the team ..team will improve only if they play more games
This ESPN ''analysts'' worship Messi here wishing he'll one day deliver for Argentina and Barca, but in reality he's not going to because he's can't. If he starts playing with his teammates instead of trying to carry the team on his shoulders as Hercules. His style doesn't fit for that. He's a dribbler and quicker than everybody else, the former being his major asset. If you compare the personality and style of players like Maradona, Ronaldo, etc, who could win big matches for their respective teams with Messi then you will understand why he's not going to do what fans are wishing he'll do.
Argentina was ok. That's it.
Bla bla bla a win is a win get over it
I'm pretty sure the US team wouldn't survive in south america to qualify for the world cup. Stop hating on ecuador and give them credit for having a solid defense. They are getting better little by little. Argentina did horrible in this game .
Where is Di Maria? I don't think this Argentina team can win a world cup. They need Messi, dybala,dimaria n aguera in attack for sure
This is South America football, toughest part to qualify to a world cup.
Hardly gonna be fluid
instead of going to a bigger club why not make your club a bigger one.
One shot on target if you take away the penalty. How is that possible? I thought Messi was supposed to be the GOAT? It's not as if he's playing for San Marino. Even if he was, the 'GOAT' should be getting a few shots on target.
Penssi scores again
If Messi played for Spain it would be more interesting.
400th comment
Argentina will always be under achievers while messi is there
Btw sevilla is a big club . These clowns sometimes talk utter bs
No, Di Maria doesnt belong to team anymore, turnover machine, tunnel vision
Argentina's midfield is a disaster…they didn't even drop to get the ball high..the forwards had to come back.we can't play like this….and of course it was the roughest game I've seen…
