Tata Martino is the coach, they might end up losing in the final. Have you forgotten that the man's surname is Almost?

I fear for Argentina really, they have not been doing well at all in front of goal, scoring just a goal is an herculean task for them and I fear if they can get pass Chile with that.

And we shouldn't write Paraguay off just yet. They might spring up a surprise.

Seriously I really don't blame them for lack of goals. I have stayed up late to watch every single one of Argentina' games : trust me when I say this; the only team that didn't Park the bus was Paraguay. The rest of them Uruguay, Jamaica and even Colombia parked the bus for almost the whole game. And it's South American football, very difficult. So Argentina has been playing very well really but teams are putting bodies behind the ball. I hope Paraguay play like the did in the last match.

You are very correct bruv. Like you said, it was only Paraguay that didn't park the bus, and they would have been badly beaten if not for the fact that Argentina took them for granted. That was why they came back from 2 goals down to draw the match.

Despite the draw against Colombia, they played arguably their best football in this Copa against them. It was the genius of Ospina that gave them (Colombia) a lifeline.

I believe they are in good stead to lift the trophy.

Aptly said; been long ive seen Argentina played deservedly to win. Colombia mustered just a single shot on target the entire game. And god-Messi, played in the center, was on ghost mode.

Argentina's pragmatic approach in this tournament may be their own undoing if their strikers keep misfiring. Aguero, Tevez and Higuain must wake up to their duties.

No reasons for excuses again.

Why can't Martino try playing Messiah up front as the top striker or false 9 for a change. and see how it works out. Because to me, their strikers are goal shy even when presented with golden opportunities

I think the secret might be switching Pastore and Messi. Let Pastore stay on the left and Continue his wayward dribbles there and play messi at the center of midfield. Like a switch from 4—3—3 to 4-2-3-1. let aguero just sleep in the opposition box to cause a little panic there. Messi would then find himself closer to the box, where he could always run in, flanked by de Maria and pastore.

Tata is trying to duplicate the barca model with his team, where he has Messi on that later flank constantly delivering loops to box. But it's not working, having to play consistently against parked buses.

TaTa has an ego the size of a mammoth...I'm not expecting him to play Messi in the CAM position because he won't.

Plus, he ain't got Neymar to wreck havoc on the left and draw defenders out of position in search of the ball. Neither is he having Suarez who is the king when it comes to displacing and taking CBs out of positions with his runs, thereby enabling Leo to break in with his mazy runs, having just few people to obstruct him.

Let's just hope he has learnt his lessons before its too late for redemption.

LOL, this south american refs no dey smile at all http://www.marca.com/en/2015/06/28/en/football/international_football/1435513415.html

Mentioning Messi saved my life,
says Argentine kidnapped in
Nigeria

Santiago Lopez
Menendez, a 28-year-old agricultural engineer, was kidnapped earlier this week and beaten violently by his captors,

It was then in desperation that Menendez tried to
tell them he was Argentine and he was eventually
able to calm down his aggressors with repeated
cries of "Messi, Messi, Messi".
