3 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders - makes a good five man defense, then 2 attacking midfielders to feed balls to the lone man on top.

Miscellaneous:
This is a sure formation to lose. A 3 - man defense will be fruitful if Argentina has good defenders. The best defender they have by Argentina's standard is Otamendi, one we well know as a poor defender by world standard. Moreover, he's short for a 3-man defense. Personally I think the best will be 4-4-2 with aguero and dybala playing upfront. Messi should play as an attacking player in a diamond-shaped midfield position inorder to dictate the play, style, pass and support aguero and dybala as strikers

Nice pic but I don’t think that’s the 80s. Do you have more pictures?

All knowing one, with your big brain and ‘intellect’ you couldn’t comprehend that other posters were talking about the double standard in society.

Even though men have had a head-start, women are starting to come into their own.

- before computers, women were part of the human calculator department that made the first moon landing possible.
- women have been going to space since the 60s
- women have always aspired to be successful.

crackhaus:
Has anyone here thought about how seemingly popular it is for 'liberated' women to want to exercise their liberation more in negative vices rather than positive ones?

[b]- Men can be loud and talk about their sexual conquests, women should too. Liberation
- Men can sleep around and not be judged, women should too. Liberation.
- Men can be rude and not have to apologize for it, women should to[/b]o. Liberation

Etc.

What happened to things like:
- Men have been the ones designing and building civilizations, women should begin doing this.
- Men go to space and walked on the moon, women should do that too.
- There are more male billionaires, women should aspire to this and match it.

Etc.


I just had to do this, despite my better judgment, because this is the substance I got from reading the OP, not what the majority of you are yapping about. I don't know what has happened to most women, but it seems a lot of you don't just have sense (pun intended).

Of course, those behaviours in men are equally bad...but in your so-called liberated minds, women should lower themselves to the same level of moral ineptitudes just to prove equality? Like are you people being serious?
Whatever happened to rising way above the negative things men can do/allowed to do and dignify yourselves by setting a new standard that should be emulated?

The regressive thinking being masked as progressiveness and liberation is astounding. May God help me to raise my daughter to not see men as her standard, but to set hers so men can then try to meet up.
The best way anyone should be able to do this is to build their personal library of books and literature from around the world.
If I were to ask how many of you have a library consisting of just 10 solid books with at least 500pages each, the lot of you will respond in the negative, yet you feel you know and understand anything. Where the hell then are you getting a deep knowledge of society and life in general from? From the internet? From just your own terribly limited subjective experiences?

Gosh this is becoming too much.
Ignorance has become the new fad, misinformation the new normal, simpletons the new intellectuals.

I rest.
Bukatyne take back your thread abeg.

Exactly!

Qatar is a very stubborn side... Colombia struggled to defeat them with 4mins to go... They are Asian champions... They are capable of beating or holding Argentina to a draw...they are a very stubborn side

Yes attacking midfielder- so a 3-2-2-2-1

Miscellaneous:
How do u think the formation will look like? How will they lineup in 4-4-2 ? Except messi will play an attacking midfielder role

desvi:
thank you!

the example she has given of the ladies in the movie theatre is more the problem of particular social milieus and mannerisms related to such, not a gender issue which she has created out of it.

it's akin to me taking the worst neighborhood in the US to claim that the US as a whole is decaying and resembling a developing country
you can't take the worst example and claim that it is universally representative of everyone

what I find particularly funny is her worry how the behavior of other women tarnishes her image
what the heck? aren't you your own person? respect your boundaries, maybe then you will be able to respect other people's boundaries and freedoms

cococandy:
The problem I have with posts like these is that they target women and make them out to be evil for behaviors they praise in men. It’s disgusting to say the least.

While I wouldn’t personally chose to be loud in a movie theatre about who I humped or what not, I’ll make a point to condemn such behavior equally in any gender. If it’s an issue when women do it but doesn’t matter when men do it, then the problem isn’t the behavior itself but our need to fit women into a certain mold. A mold that pleases men and on which the value of womanhood is defined. ie by how pleasing we are to men.

In those “good old days” when men were more mystified by women. When men used to write love letters and what not, what happened then? How was that era more beneficial to women? Fighting for basic rights and clamoring for simple respect. Did the supposed mystery stop men from beating up women or deny them access to infrastructure and positions of power? Did that all too wonderful mystery solve any social problems for women that we aren’t still fighting for today?

I don’t take seriously any moral caution that doesn’t apply both ways. Maybe I agree with the idea that the behavior isn’t optimal but will never agree to the bias against women which is what it really is all about.

Indeed! The writer was only trying to be “mischievous”. She was only playing the devil’s advocate to prepare her readers for her real BEEF. The perfect manifesto for “brain-washers”aka pastors, swindlers and yahoo guys/dolls.
She knew she would find an audience by mentioning “feminism”, so the usual feminism-bashers would answer the call to war, even without understanding what they are reading.


I as you again:
What has feminism got to do with a group of ladies experiencing some kind of psycho-sexual “hangover” in a movie theater?

Why did the author even mention feminism her article? To settle her own wahala with the nostalgia of “virginity”. You already know.
She finally landed by talking of how women used to be “enigmatic” and “mystical” to MEN! Ha! In this age of same-sex unions?

Anyone can just wake up, pick a particular behavior or lifestyle he/she does not believe in and find any way to sneak the word “feminism” into it.

You find this all over NL.
If people understood that feminism is purely subjective, they would never discuss it.

This is a classical case of a logical fallacy of ASSOCIATION. You should be familiar with how con-artists operate. They start by appealing to your weakest emotions, then finally land to rip you off with their true intentions.

But because the word “feminism” has been misused by most, it brings out the worst in the most shallow minds. Why? To create unnecessary “beef” amongst emotional intellectuals devoid of any sense of understanding.

I agree! After all they didn’t even ask to be brought into this world.

ednut1:
100% families used to cover it up in the past. To me anyone that wants out should be allowed to go. Even in developed world with free benefits and all. Many still commit suicide

Exactly!! Imagine if Paraguay had converted their penalty. They still might even win the whole thing. Brazil is not playing well either.

Miscellaneous:
In all luck still falls in hands of the Argentines as they take on Qatar next. Lets see if they can improve in the next game
