Argentina, if you like, sit back and defend again.

Alvarez has scored his usual screamer. I just knew he would finish one of these goalkeepers with his wicked shots

Of what use is bringing on another striker if the midfielders and wingers won't cross the ball

It's crazy how Argentina have a tricky winger in Almada who can cut in and shoot yet Scaloni preferred a 4-4-2 with Alvarez and Messi up front.

Argentina's coach started with a 4-4-2 with Messi and Alvarez up front. If he wants to play a 4-4-2, then play Lautaro and Alvarez up front with Messi behind them.

Why invite unnecessary pressure on your players by telling them to sit back after scoring a goal? This is the same nonsense tactic he used against Cape Verde and Egypt

Angelfrost:
Hmmm... If they win this game, they won't survive England's Kane, Eze, Bellingham, etc.

The team is just not in form at all.

If they win, I pray their coach Scaloni changes his nonsense defensive tactics. You can't have big players like these and be defending against smaller teams.

Sugarboyy:
Yeah, they have been poor and hardly dominate team but I still feel with the right formation and tactics, players to players, they can hold their own against any other countries. Lisandro Martinez and Romero are beast, goalkeeper Martinez is one of the best in the world, Mac Allister and Enzo are above average, Striker Martinez and Alvarez are some of the best strikers in the world. On the bench, they are another beast in Otamendi, Barco and this Como guy are good, Someone is decent, etc. I just feel it's the coach setup and tactics that has been limiting them at this WC

You're right. With the players they have, they shouldn't be struggling against Switzerland but when you have a coach who tells you to sit back and defend after scoring one goal, you're bound to invite unnecessary pressure on yourself and concede. It's the same problem Japan and Netherlands faced with their coaches.

Sugarboyy:
God bless you
Mac Allister and Enzo are midfielders that can hold their own against any other midfielders in the world but at this WC, they have been playing like a sub par Etebo. It's even Parades that has been doing all the running for them. Play Messi behind Alvarez and Martinez and pair Messi in the midfield with Parades, Allister, Enzo or De Paul

They look so clueless. It's obvious the comebacks against Cape Verde and Egypt definitely took a toll on them. They're exhausted.

Honestly, I'm just happy that Messi has performed well at this World Cup. As for Argentina as a team, they're just so poor.

Angelfrost:
Are they blind?!!

I even shouted when the ref gave the initial yellow card to Paredes.

This is what I am happy about... That divers are getting booked.

I hate it when players drop down over the slightest touch, and to act like that trying to get your opponent carded is just Evil!

Great job by VAR!

The red card hasn't even changed much about the match. The Argentine players look exhausted. Those comebacks against Cape Verde and Egypt definitely took a toll on them.

Sugarboyy:
This Argentina team, except they improve, they can't draw any of the 3 teams that have qualified for the semis. And the coach playing 4 midfielders and only 1 striker is killing the team individual abilities.

He's foolishly playing a 4-4-2 with Messi and Alvarez up front. If he wants to play a 4-4-2, then play Lautaro and Alvarez up front with Messi behind them.

The Argentine midfield is too flat. Mac Allister, Enzo and De Paul have been so disappointing.

Argentina should better not feel over confident because of the red card. It can be very hard to play against 10 men.

Angelfrost:
Breel Embolo don ruin Switzerland game... Red card.

That simulation was just unnecessary.

Just watch how some people will twist it to make it look like he didn't dive.

Embolo, what kind of nonsense dive was that? Now you have a second yellow.

They just like inviting unnecessary pressure on themselves.

This one that we're not hearing "Ref is favouring Argentina" today...

They all kept quiet when French referees were selected to officiate the Egypt vs Argentina match but complained when Argentine referees were selected to officiate the France vs Morocco match and now they've kept quiet again watching Portuguese referees officiate an Argentine match.

All they know how to do is shout "rigged" everywhere.
