Looks like you’ve never watched Argentina

South American games re very physical. Nobody is spared including Messi lol.

nitrogen:
lol, Messi in Argentina is a beneficiary of this type of Football.

Okay. Lol

See wetin Messi dey face for qualifiers and copa America. These guys are ready to keeeeeel

afrodoc2:
Especially against a team that was always going to play a low block. Barcola is more of a transition player while Doue is better against a low block.

Correct!

akwesenana:
It's because the other attackers bar mbappe are similar profile.

Yet in seconds, Doue showed why he starts for PSG. Barcola no too sabi ball like that. He can run though.

Doue starts for PSG while Barcola na bench player but somehow DD thought Barcola should be starting for France.

Doue showing levels 👌

More goals 🙌

Oshey

Mbape 🙏

andrewbaba44:
Dem don try ooo

Holding France a first half draw

If they score first, even Getafe fans will be shocked at how deep Paraguay will approach the game. I no want hear story.

Sweden, Czech Republic, Italy, Bosnia, Austria for don chop like 3 dor this first half.

jpmoriarti:
It will be hard for Argentina to win back to back World cup. Of course, they can but on the strength of the depth of their squad, I doubt that they're able to do so.

I support Messi no hiding and I want him to win it again if possible. However, he already won the most prestigious trophy in sports. My agenda is elsewhere chief. Back2Back will be a great though. Who no like better thing

andrewbaba44:
Paraguay I no send una this one

Spread your legs for mbappe and family

I dey tell you.

Go Mbape, go France. Don't let the SA intimidate you my general.

Jamiuokolaa:
Baba - Argentina no fit win this cup

Messi already won the cup. I know where my agenda is, no worry 😉

France must not be eliminated no matter what unless they do thier job first.

Mbape and Olise, do something 🙏

Skimpledawg:
Who no come, no know!

Do you need a bucket

jpmoriarti:
Yeah Argentina has declined. Not the force they once were. I mean, I’m very happy for Lionel Messi scoring all these goals and leading the attack, but at 39, that’s not a good look for the national team. Someone younger should be showing signs that they can take over the mantle but no one is ready to step up.

I’m very happy that Messi has already finished his football story, otherwise this current squad will fvck him up real bad 😂😂😂

He has finished but I want back2back world cup for Messi. I want it soooo bad

Doing it with three first choice players missing is a wonderful feat. Making Africa proud 👏

World cup agenda too sweet. I so much love it

odizeey:
😃😃
So you go forget Africa for Morocco vs France abi

France are more African than Morocco with thier world cup selection. Black is gold ✨️

andrewbaba44:
Eliminating France ? Hmmmm

France must not be eliminated oo unless their job is done.

Goal for all Africa. Doing it without Abde, Riad and Saibairi. We love you Morocco. Keeping African flag flying so high. Something cape Verde couldn't do.


Now we wait for Mbape to continue his superb world cup run.

Ellexy:
Did you remember Africa during Portugal vs Congo? You that was busy cursing and swearing for Bruno Fernandes. All these penduist and hypocrisy ehn.

Make them dey play

We all Africa are with Morocco. What Cape Verde failed to do, Morrocco will do. Then Mbape and Olise must finish Paraguay off.

odizeey:
Na now you remember Africa abi. If I deck you.

You sure say you fit?

Since cape Verde couldn't do it, this is a goal for all Africa. More goals pls 🙏

iamoyindamola:
As how
Who are they missing

Chadi Riad....first choice LCB
Abde..........first choice left winger

Saibiri thier best attacker just got injured.

My Morocco missing too many key players.

Make Africa proud 👏

Africans are with you Morrocco just like how they stood with Cabo Verde. Pls flog Canada and stay in the competition.

jpmoriarti:
Yeah very strange setup by Argentina. Playing a defensive 442 against Cape Verde and relying on fullbacks to provide width whilst leaving Giulano Simeone and Nico Paz on the bench for the entirety of the game, is not what I expect from the reigning World Champion.

I don't know what they wanted to achieve by such a passive setup against the African minnows. I don't know what the plan was. It is hard for me to understand especially seeing how they handed back initiative each time they had gone ahead.

Perhaps they underestimated their opponent. Such mindset will get them kicked out of the tournament sooner or later.

Also their attackers and creative midfielder (if any), should step up. Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez (who we are coveting), offered nothing in the match. All the creative sparks has to come from a 39 year old Lionel Messi. This is not a recipe for how you will retain the world cup.

Where is the Angel di Maria in this current Argentina team? Who is stepping up to help Messi in the attack?

Argentina have lots of problem going forward this time around. Current left back Medina is a CB who can play LB. He doesn't attack the wing, Macalister has declined massively, Lauturo is their new Higuian, plain bad while Alvarez is recovering from injury.

Their Dimaria could be Nico Paz or Gio Simeone but I doubt Scaloni will take such risk. We'll have to wait and see. They should at least make the quarters.
