I hope Spain remember who's in goal for Argentina and also their poor PK shootout record. Better end this in extra time

How do you think Spain managed to be so dominant?

Because of Don Rodri. Not his fault Spain did not maximize his hardwork.

You can see how the midfield is in shambles and Pedri getting bullied since he left

Them don sign agreement for Argentina to win this World Cup. I wan dey objective before but this thing don dey obvious

ThierryJay:
The ceiling for Madueke was already quite low, so I don't think he lost out anything. In fact, he should be mighty grateful he didn't go to the Americas as a tourist.

The guy should look for another career.

Madueke is a squad player. Nothing more nothing less. Overpriced transfer market is what makes it look like he's a factor. He's average at best

Tuchel and England too funny. Why una no play like this against Argentina

If they played with some balls they would be playing in Rutherford not Miami.

Bimmarlykay:
You're not serious,keep cherry-picking to suit your agenda.

You asked for Bussi performance without Xavi and Ini,i gave you what he won in 2020 and 21 without them so rest,even Messi collected 8-2 from Bayern,so we can similar say Messi is a Fraud?

What the hell did he win? He was a passenger like he has always been. Nothing more nothing less.

Ojude Oba Nations League does not count. You guys troll Ororo fans that bring it up so why are you doing the same. Besides Spain did not win Nations League sef

Are you that desperate to hype your passenger Fraudsquets you're now disrespecting Messi the 🐐

popizaino:
The only place Rodri clears makalele is on height.

No serious person watch both of them and arrive at your conclusion.

Nostalgia merchant.

Emaprince:
Uf you go pages back you will see where I was shouting at the mans coward approach against pep teams in his second season. After beating pep thrice, playing attcking footie..this ediot came into the next season and started playing like a coward. Always defending and losing all.

It shock me how coaches who arent masters in defensive game, will chose to deploy such tactic. Imagine flooding the game with defenders against Argentina in over 20mins to go..and still went ahead to allow them get chances upon chances until the goals started coming.

Whats the point of playing only defenders when you cant even lock your defence properly?

You are coaching a country like England and your first instinct when you score is to defend? Kai. This man is primitive.

E no even sabi defend properly. Sitting 11 men in your half and Argentina still hit the bar twice, scored twice and the keeper made 2 quality saves. Cos your players were 3 meters away from each Argentine player

Argentina were getting better chances when England parked the bus than when the game was goalless

popizaino:
The irony of this your point is that Xavi himself said that they couldn't have achieved everything they achieved without Sergio Busquet.

And yet they did. Literally winning the Euros with Marcus Senna as DM

Won Euro Player of the Tournament for 2008

He was Spanish Player of the season. 04/05

Don't attach Busquets to Xavi's glory. These are midfield generals that won on their own like Rodri is doing.

Busquets na attache. Every time he's had to lead or even help aging Xavi in 2014. Huge embarrassing failure. Receipts choke

User09:
Yeah he was bad and tactically flawed in the game against Argentina, but what we will not do is rewrite history.

Pep was thorough outclassed by TT that season, he won him 3 times back to back with the last one being the CL final so make una take am jeje.

An absolutely shite manager how? Is he eccentric, yes, maybe even washed now but on his day, that guy gives.

Fluke season. After that season every other time Pep dey beat am like thief. He came to Bayern too and Pep clogged him.

Fluked a league title because Dortmund were premier choke artists but promptly was boat raced against Leverkusen the next year.

Like I said letting that fraud win CL is a stain on Pep's resume. He's no different than Di Matteo. We just have to live with the fact that those two frauds have the same CLs as LVG, Klopp etc

raumdeuter:
Tuchel plays to lose rather than play to win. He never takes accountability for anything

He is an underdog coach not a coach for a top side

England have such low self esteem they don't have the conviction to craft a football identity. They will rather get imposters like Tuchel or Ericsson (rest his soul) I will call him more journeyman than imposter to do wuruwuru to the answer

I don't know how as a football federation you saw what he had Bayern playing and said yeah let's get that guy

England had 12% possession between the go-ahead goal and when Lautaro made it 2-1. This guy is such a coward manager he somehow turned England to Saudi Arabia

Bimmarlykay:
Stop all these amala turning. You asked for examples, I gave you, now you are twisting to Bayern,kilo ko boss?

Apples and amala comparison. You claimed a young Rodri can't bench older players, but look at Argentina,Enzo broke in and benched oldies to start.Unlike Enzo, Rodri wasn't fully trusted by his coach back then, which is why an aging Busquets was still bossing the midfield and benching him.

Will you rest now!

Fraudsquets without prime Xavi and Iniesta to hold his hands. Huge embarrassing failure

Who was Enzo competition at Argentina? No kill me with laugh abeg

This is Fraudsquets age 26,28 and 30. He could not stand and deliver cos no Xavi to cover his yansh. La Masia hypejob.

This was when he was supposed to show he was the Alpha dog waiting to take over like Rodri did as soon as his coach had the sense to hand him the keys of the team

Every game he stood out as the worst midfielder for Spain

Leyqute:
F Ronaldo mehn. That selfish mfer can F off.

Wow. That's shocking? Where is the love?

Ibime:
Tuchel is a lazy man. He doesn't watch football. Too busy chasing Brazilian girls

PSG complained about his work ethic. He came to Chelsea, Kante carried him. His laziness showed in his transfer dealings, chasing washed and useless players like Koulibaly, Aubameyang, Fofana etc. Every transfer was a nightmare from those mentioned to Sterling, Lukaku etc and shows his laziness on how he just picks players he saw years ago

His laziness showed again today. He must be the only man who hasn't watched how Scaloni drops Messi to the right, the moomoo vacated all pressure on the ball on that side, allowing Messi to spam crosses unhindered for 30 mins straight.

Very lazy man. It was at Chelsea in summer 2022 we found he's been chasing Brazilian chicks upandan and divorcing while recommending dinosaurs as transfer targets

cc User09

Which is ironic because he keeps this facade as a meticulous coach that is tactically sound.

Till he came to Bayern and I saw the show of shite first hand. He's a useless coach. With no discernable pattern, poor at man management and relies mainly on individual talent and wuruwuru to the answer.

Even in the first half I thought Argentina was slightly better which was confusing to me because if you cannot control the middle with Rice and Co what are you doing? Romero and co were caught lacking and you fluked a goal.

You saw what happened with Egypt and Cabo Verde and instead decided to park the bus from the 55th minute. Letting Argentina off the hook

Romero and Martinez were on yellow cards. You removed your paciest player who just scored and brought on a defender. I couldn't believe my eyes

Scaloni was able to keep his two center halves on for almost twenty minutes with no danger of getting sent off cos you were too much of a coward to attack

raumdeuter:
Classic Tucheliban what Bayern fans faced from him

That man frustrate my life. Rendered Bayern unwatchable

Lana1:
Germany this. Germany that. You keep sounding like Ronaldo fans who won't stop talking about "2008 Ronaldo"

Go and ask the Nation of Argentina wetin Germany don take their eye see for World Cup

Why are you participating in Ronaldo slander as a Man U fan BTW? Your team has been finished since he left. He's the closest you have to Messi

andrewbaba44:
See tuchel wey I rate small

Immediately Gordon’s scored England stopped playing ,England get the tools to punish Argentina but they where foolish ,but sha Messi will be Messi

Now I am more angry with guardiola for making this man win a ucl for Chelsea

Tueh

Tuchel made me lose interest in football. That's how rubbish he was. An absolutely shite manager

Pep losing that CL final is definitely one of the black marks on his career.

E dey pain me say Germany no sabi again. Na only Germany be the European team wey sabi handle Argentina

popizaino:
Whilst asking me to do that for Sergio Busquet, you can garnish us with that of Claude Makelele too.

You know personal accolades defines a DM now.

Rodri clears Makalele. I'm a nostalgia merchant myself but I know where to let go

You don't hear me say Pele is better than Messi

Carot:
when Busquet marshalling the midfield of barca and spain where were you and rodri? You will have to tender an unreserved apology because this is injustice to football. You have no right to diminish the feats of midfield maestro. When buskirt was blocking the midfield rodri was learning from him. Andrewbaba44, you are here and this man decimating a legend

Marshal ko. Ayinde ni. Someone that was hiding behind Xaviesta plus Alonso.

When he had to be the big dog wetin e achieve? As soon as Xaviesta declined Spain went to big tournaments and were getting slapped silly

2014. 34 year old Xavi. Spain jabo first round

2016 Euros. Busquets lead Spain nau. 2nd round maximum shishi vs Italy

2018. Russia disgraced them. Make Spain dey lose to Russia. Where was Busquets?

Xavi and Iniesta merchant. Once his mentors retired Spain became a laughing stock of world football. Soon as Rodri took over. Spain is back to where they should be. Levels

Carot:
bravo! bravo! This is what am talking about. A40, you have offended the gods of football. We demand atonement for your sins

I will give the gods a konk. Are they cool?

MorataFC:
You keep repeating the same argument, "Busquets played with Xavi, Busquets play with Xayi" As if Rodri has been playing all by himself.
Rodri has also spent his career alongside world-class players too. Great teammates don't automatically make you a great player, they simply give you the platform to show your quality.
Judge Busquets by hid individual performances, influence, and consistency, not by who his teammates were.

Mr Man. Stop conflating arguments. I have not said Rodri did not ply with world class players. The point is Rodri has stood out amongst those players. Something Busquets never did. Those world class players won without him. He never won without them.

Xavi and Iniesta won with Marcos Senna.

Busquets performances and influence whatever are average at best

MorataFC:
If Rodri wins the World Cup, what exactly has he achieved that Busquets didn't already achieve first?
He will simply be adding another World Cup to a résumé that still queues behind Busquets' in that regard. Busquets already set the standard.
So let Rodri win the World Cup first. Then we can have this conversation. Until then, it's all hypothetical.

Rodri wins as the general of his team. Scored the winning goal and ensured his team won the treble, won the Euros and was voted player of the entire Tournament

There's a reason nobody compares Robert Horry to Michael Jordan despite having more rings. All rings are not created equally

popizaino:
It matters in the grand scheme of things .

It shows Busquet superiority over his peers.

How can Drogba be playing and Solomon Kalou be starting? O wrong now.

No DM ever played along a generational talent AM and got accolades.

Why won't Rodri be sweeping awards playing alongside bums like Olmo.

You think Rodri will win any awards playing alongside Zidane like Makelele did?

Or will Rodri see any awards playing alongside Kaka like Andrea Pirlo did?

Infact any DM getting really notice is not doing his work. That role is underrated not meant to be loud.

2006 Andrea Pirlo was the one balling for the Azzurri na Canavaro dey get the recognition.

Nothing Rodri is doing exceptional,he can't lace SB shoe anywhere.

Everyone knows Busquets is useless outside Barca setup. Every time he's won he's had other elite midfielders holding his hands

Whenever he's had to deliver by himself it's been huge embarrassing failure

Rodri will sweep awards because everyone can see he's the engine unlike Busquets that is a bus rider.

Champions League MVP
Euros MVP

Cannavaro led Italy defense to concede 1 own goal and 1 penalty in 7 matches. So he deserved it ahead of Pirlo

SB is an average midfielder that enjoyed Xavi and Iniesta tax. He never won without them. Never led a team when he had them and they won without him

Rodri won with City and now in Spain all as the head honcho. A feat Busquets will never achieve

popizaino:
This is makalele's award. Maybe Rodri surpass him in DM role.

Rodri clears Makalele. Makalele clears Busquets

Bimmarlykay:
Maybe you should ask Ronaldo's fan about Nation's league worth.

All this one you dey run up and down,stay one place,Yamal at 17,18 was benching men,so that ain't an excuse,why was Rodri benched by worst Busi but started shining after men turned legends?

Also,the Modric you rate wasn't a thing till 2018.

I'm not crazy about Ronaldo or Messi. I'm a Bayern and Germany fan my teams dey usually pocket Messi while my Bayern struggles with Ronaldo.

The greatest debate died in December 19 2022 so calm down. I believe Messi is better

My point is stop using Ojude Oba tournament to rate player which Rodri also won btw

Attackers start young. You don't have argument. Your Pedri is currently chopping bench from Ruiz. If he goes on to be as good as Rodri will you listen to anyone tell you Ruiz is better in the future? No.

Well deserved England for being such poosies

popizaino:
You have to tell us what Rodri achieved while Busi was still in Europe?

The mouse can come out to play when the cat is away.

Busquet in his last leg was still playing ahead of Rodri. That should tell you something.

No use awada kill me this guy

What did Casillas win while Canizares was still in Spain? Van Bommel used to bench Xavi. Eddie Jones used to bench Kobe Bryant

What does that matter in the grand scheme of things?

When Busquets was in Europe Rodri was leading his team to a continental treble. Scoring a Champions league Final winner and voted player of the tournament. That's impact not the passenger role Busquets dey do

Enrique's mistake of playing and relying on Busquets when he was finished is what led to failure for Spain. You see now what happens when Rodri is in charge. Back to back finals of World and Euros as the star man. None of which passenger Busquets ever achieved.

Latino Derek Fisher is what Busquets is

patrickmuf:
Airmark is about to unearth an old argument where A40 was probably saying something else...Wait for it...😂😂😂

I can't be cornered in a debate cos I will always give cogent reason for any change of opinion. I'm not a rigid and stubbornly ignorant type

I have been slandering Busquets before the pandemic. You can go back as 2022 on this page where I argued with Barca fans so he has no leg to stand on.

He should even be happy we finally agree on something

Ibime:
1993 to 2001 he was easily the best LW, only punctured for one year by David Ginola

We don't talk about next Ryan Giggs cos we don't have left footed left wingers anymore, and nobody wants to be a next woman abuser

Haba. Robben, Messi na wetin? Kvara, Vini na all lefty nau

Strictly abilities. Forget the DV stuff. No be the first athlete with all that

OK if you say Prem I can concede cos Prem did not have elite ballers at the time anyway if we are being honest. If your competition is David Ginola another overrated player as well then Fairs. Says a lot that you could steady knock single digits every year and be rated the best winger in the league

airmark:
What God cannot do, does not exist.

I'm not like you that keep defending mid like Gyokeres, Upamenonsense and Belotti just to save face. If I see non performing player I say it and give my why's. It's never that serious

Bimmarlykay:
Since you want to rest your case.You asked for a team he led without Pep and Xavi on the pitch? Look at 2022-23 season. Busquets was the club captain and main leader on the pitch guiding Barça midfield to win La Liga.

You want a time he was head and shoulders above other midfielders without Xavi or Iniesta? In the 2021 Nations League, Busquets literally won Player of the Tournament ahead of every midfielder in Europe.

Also,in Euro2012 Busi was named in the UEFA Euro Team of the Tournament alongside Xavi and Iniesta. But you claimed they was carrying him.

Will you rest now?

Shey you dey whine me ni? Which one is main leader? Kini itumo yen?

Who recognized him as such? Where are the accolades that back that up. Even La Liga team of the season e no smell

No be only guiding na trafficking

Nations League why not Principal's cup. When I was telling you what Rodri did do you see me mention Nation's League?

You see now that all his achievements you still have to go back to the once Xavi was there to hold his hand

This is why you can never compare him to Rodri. Rodri won without Xaviesta and wins as the main man on all his teams. For City for Spain there's no debate about his importance. Receipts tear
