Argentina isn’t winning the World Cup sha

But I think they might scale through to the semis

If they beat Egypt, I don’t think they will go past Colombia. Those guys play direct and physical football, and their midfield is crazy!

BlueRayDiick:
You don't win silver, you lose gold!

Someone scored against the world champion, you say make he no run go hug him girlfriend. They probably did not think they could drag the game with these guys for 120+ mins.

BlueRayDiick:
That one score he go dey hug him girlfriend for crowd. 😂

Ẹkùn lo padà gbẹyin ẹ!.... It ended in premium tears.

You no even get shame. These are minnows in football.

Jamiuokolaa:
I think they respected Argentina too much

If they came out like this ealier, them fit win.

This Argentina useless

I agree with you. The conservative play helped them too.

Well done. Omo, Argentina suffer o. Chai

See pressure!

Omo, shame suppose catch Argentina small. Damn!

Ibime:
They are a mulatto nation

Senegalese mixed with Portuguese

Not a bad combo at all.

It’s over.

Ibunkun1:
Cape Verde go be better holiday destination be that 😂😂

I swear down. I don add am to my list.

These CPV girls fine die. Shuuuuu!

These guys are on another level. This is crazy!

odizeey:
I better pass you wey dey hate legend.

No mind am. The Martinez sef na useless player for UTD. Always taking rash decisions resulting injuries and red cards. Things he does not do at Argentina.

airmark:
Make him finish World Cup and go back to clinic as usual when season starts. Man utd must not enjoy him.

Thats my problem with Martinez. He’s barely available for Utd.

Finally.

Omo, Argentina no try o.

odizeey:
Na the FIFA wey we dey talk so.

God airpus!

Wait, what happened there? I thought CPV keeper was still arranging his wall. Interesante!

Not a foul. Damn, see goal

Ellexy:
Na lie you no mean am

I dey serious. It would be a disgrace for CPV to beat Argentina.

Wow. Argentina will find a way abeg. CPV is too small for them.

femi4:
I pity life after messi for argentina

Argentina go dey alright without Messi. Go check how many World Cup appearances Argentina has.

odizeey:
Very rubbish call

Everybody is tired. Was clearly not a foul.

LordAdam16:
he was poor

but martinez is an agent
and the team setup is very unforgiving for his type of player

4-2-3-1 that relies heavily on wing backs/wingers beating their man and putting in a cross
so as a 10 he has to be the second man in the box (also in the first half, ronaldo refused to stay in the box)
which he did well enough and should have gotten a goal each against colombia and croatia

but it also means he has to simultaneously running ragged doing defensive duties when the wingers lose possession which is about 2 of 3 times when they do not pass back
in the summer heat of the americas, he can barely keep up since the team defends with 10 when ronaldo is on the pitch
and yesterday, leao and neto chose when they liked to defend
on the goal both were almost walking back

at united, there is far more defensive contribution from the attackers and play moves centrally

---

the one time bruno had space to play a pass in, he assisted ronaldo against uzbekistan

i think the defending with 10 men in the summer heat makes them want to keep the ball more and take fewer risks
even fernandes typical spamballs are almost non-existent

-Lord

Baba, this thing wey you type so to defend Bruno. Defending with ten men in the summer heat. Nawa o.

Sportsweb:
Ramos must start vs Spain or a false nine if Portugal really wants to stand a chance against Spain.. Ronaldo can come in around 75-80 minutes.

Martinez needs to drop one of Vitinha or Bruno Fernandes

Dem go think say you be better person. Martinez does not need your advice and suggestion.

Carot:
you open your mouth and call somebody useless but you cannot kick a ball

No vez abeg. Cancelo is useless still.

Trevor012:
This goal was actually onside. Well done Var

They intentional removed the second Croatian player for the VAR decision.

Jamiuokolaa:
He was shockingly poor o

Dreadful Dreadful performance.

If Portugal's manager decides to bench him forthwith, no one would bat an eyelid

Very disgraceful. A whole PFA player of the year fa. He needs to do better.

Expert17:
We should offload him asap

E never reach that level abeg.

CrystalTiger:
He's not even getting the ball.. Don't understand how a manager will have an AM like that and he doesn't even make sure that he gets the ball..

It's just vitinha, neves and the center backs exchanging passes between themselves..

Yes, with Martinez, it’s been absolutely the most boring football from Portugal. Diogo Costa was their saviour today and against Columbia. Vitinha just forming activity thruout. The sideway passes were on another level.

Trevor012:
Cancelo is worst than useless. That ninja is a defensive liability. Throughout the tournament he has been making mistakes after mistakes. Either Semedo or Dalot should start against Spain.

I don’t know why Martinez keeps using him and Neto. then add Bruno and Vitinha in the middle playing rubbish. Omo!

See our Bruno stinking up the streets. I hope it’s because of Martinez’s bokoharam futbol.
