Argentina starting XI against Spain:

Romero
Tagliafico, Otamendi, Fazio, Acuña
Salvio, Biglia, Banega, Di Maria
Messi, Higuain

Likely to go to the World Cup if they have good form - but don't play in Europe:
- Fernando Gago (MID)
- Cristian Pavon (MID)
- Lautaro Martinez (ATK)

I came to the conclusion that they keep calling Di María just to personally fuck with me

lmao

Does Messi dislike Dybala

>best right fullback in the Dutch league
>best left fullback in the Portuguese league
>best centreback in Europe
>best centreback in Italy
>solid midfield for possession
>world class attack

Looks like dybala would have to save the shit out of jewve against spurms to get in

no, dybala is just shit, especially for the NT

pavon is already in
gago too if he doesn't injure himself again

Everyone underperforms in our NT.
We could have the dream team and still lose to Tunisia in the final.

>Dutch league
Irrelevant
>Portugese league
Irrelevant
>World class attack
Higuain

this

>fucking Nahuel "JUST" Guzman
>Funes Mori
>Rojo
>Lanzini
>Higuain

This. Glad Sampaoli is picking on merit and not just because they're in europe

Icardi>Higuain

>GAGO
just fuck my shit up

>Higuain
90,00 Mill. €
2 goals against Tottenham

Alex Telles plays for Argentina?

>Romero
Stopped reading there, we deserve nothing but losing

Isn't Dybala injured? And isn't Rojo also injured? Does Rojo play as LB or CB for Argentina?

>Gago
Lmao

He plays bench warming

>Higuain

How many tournaments does this choker have to cost you before you tell him to sod off for good?

Higuain takes you to the final in the first place, that's not something you can ignore

Pasta Prince is good outside of finals though.

>2 goals against Tottenham
An offside shot from a free kick and then a penalty. He also missed a penalty

Can’t wait for the Higuain redemption arc this summer. Sup Forums gonna apologize.

he chokes mostly in final, >we can use him in the first stage

M8, most of his national team goals in actual cups (i.e. not world cup qualifying or friendlies) are against total shitters

>GOAT vs South Korea in 2010 World Cup, got a free goal against Mexico
>vs Uruguay in the 2011 Copa America, his only goal there
>vs Belgium in 2014 World Cup, his only goal there, and it came directly from a mistake
>vs fucking Jamaica, and one meaningless goal in the 6-1 thrashing of Paraguay in the 2015 Copa America
>2 goals vs the mighty Venezuela and USA in the 2016 Copa America

So he has like 8 goals in KO games in tournaments, Messi has 0

>the ravager of ramen

At least if you park the bus and wait for penalties you have Willy Caballero

>goals are the only way a player can contribute
This mentality is what holds Argentina back
People keep thinking about muh strikers, but if you have no creativity in the midfield, it doesn't matter who's up front. lrn2football, shitposter.

>That midfield

>Higuain
How can one man so used to showing food ins his face choke so often?

Messi scored twice in 2007 Copa America

How do you win a game? With creativity points, or with goals? This is why Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world every year, and has more titles than Messi+Aguero+Higuain+Di Maria combined

>81985482
>it's a ronaldo shitposter
Sorry you're so retarded.

Also, Ronaldo is having a tough time in leliga not just because of his own bad performances but because the team around him has made dumb decisions. So even your example proves me right, you need a midfield to set up good chances for a forward to take advantage of them.

He's the top scorer of the UEFA Champions League, ahead of Messi by 8 goals

>best left fullback in the Portuguese league

??????

Why don't teams play with 11 strikers then?

because they need to defend too

football has two faucets, attacking and defending

But if goals win you games then all you should need is strikers

>the other team can score from anywhere because you have no goalkeeper
>you have to go through their defense to score a goal
it's pretty obvious they'll win

So scoring goals isn't what wins you games?

Weird, i thought Messi played as deep mid.

>muh stats
You do realize you're including that legendary run where Real Madrid literally faced 0 real challenges until Bayern Munich, right?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011–12_UEFA_Champions_League

Stats don't mean that much when you actually know the context behind them

Scoring more goals than the rival win you games.

I never said that defending was useless, I said that creativity is overrated.

An attacking player like Messi that doesn't defend and doesn't score goals is meaningless.

Midfielders should defend AND create. A player that only creates, doesn't score goals or doesn't defend is useless.

So I guess Xavi and Iniesta weren't very good players then?

Xavi and Iniesta defended and created

If Xavi and Iniesta defend then so does Messi

Iniesta (33 fucking years old, he used to be even better at defending): 1.3 tackles, 0.5 interceptions

Messi (supposedly midfielder kek): 0.5 tackles, 0.1 interceptions

Almost as bad as yours.

Xavi in 12-13 (old already): 1.1 tackles, 0.8 interceptions

>using tackles and interceptions as defense
Yeah and steals and blocks make up all of NBA defense

>glassgo

>tracking back and occupying space
Xavi and Iniesta did it, Messi doesn't, he waits up in the midfield

>hurr possession is a form of defense
Good, go by volume of passes, Xavi and Iniesta get 30-40% more passes than Messi

>Possession is a form of defense
Did I say that? Please quote the post I said that

no Palacio?

Then I have no idea what you mean by Messi defending

He doesn't steal the ball, he doesn't tackle, he doesn't track back anywhere near the levels Xavi and Iniesta do/did

He creates fluid offenses which keeps the other team outside of the defensive third

this is not the final list mate

Messi doesn't score goals?

>shiguain
So Argentina is not winning anything again.

stop shit talking gonzalito niggers.

Hazard doesn't score lots of goals and he doesn't have tons of assists. He also doesn't help defend. In your opinion, he is not a good player?

Hiw can higuain play after choking in the past wc final

Why is the Argentine NT so political? If Tevez played in 2014, they might have won.

they always shoot themselves in the foot

Icardi is a divisive prick but better than Higuain, he's had his chances. Dybala should be there too.

Apart from that it's not too bad. Fazio is shit but they're not blessed with CBs

>back-up keeper at Man Utd
>back-up keeper at Chelsea
>literally who keeper that apparently plays in the Mexican league
Are these really the three best goalkeepers Argentina have to offer?

Hazard is an overrated player tho

Is Rulli good?

He's too unselfish. He always looks to pass instead of shooting. The dude could have easily scored 2-3 goals against ManU if he didnt keep passing the ball to Morata

Tevez has 13 goals in 76 games for Argentina. Terrible

>gago

>the slayer of sampordia
>the terror of torino
>the fister of fiorentina
>the underminer of udinese
>the bane of bologna
>the genocider of genoa
>the clouter of cagliari
>the castigatoe of chievo
>the subordinator of sassuolo
>the cocksure at crotone
>the sodomizer of spal
>the vaporizer of verona
>the belligerent at beneveto
>the nothingness of napoli
>the lip server of Lazio
>the imposter of inter milan
>the rujuta of real madrid
>the bitch of barcelona

>gago

lel no

>Funes Mori
Based

he was a promising, turned to shit

>No based pratto

Sampaoli alioli

I think Rulli is the best

>>best centreback in Europe
>>best centreback in Italy
Madre mía... This is another level of delusion, even for an Argentine!

OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Then what the hell is Acuna doing there? He's shit...and if a player is shit in the league in this country, he won't make it anywhere in Europe, except for countries that don't care about football like Latvia or Lithuania.

seriously Dybala should play

have Messi as a super sub he has no stamina

>Lanzishit infront of Dybala

>mfw your defense get buttfucked by based Costa

Fuck off retards, only Germany can say our team is shit, everybody else is either not qualified to the World Cup, or didn't make it as far as we did in the World Cup 2014 with this group of players

>no Lautaro

oh NO NO NO

why are mexishitskins so obsessed about us?

This is only players from europe, CHI

>higuain

jesus fucking christ

:(

Argentine lads, do you rate Icardi more than Higuain?

I don't.
I wouldn't want Icardi in my team ever.

i was thinking of betting on argentina but seeing that potential line up is making me reconsider, fazio is poo. why not play aguero up top with messi ..

because Fazio is white, you dummy.

U mad
