Na only that black guy dey worry and the fans. We ain't worried about Jimenez

The theory is that Azteca stadium is 2km above sea level and England players will struggle with the altitude. But I can't see Jimenez as a fit player that will run England tagged at altitude. Maybe others have the lung capacity but not Jimenez who is a static striker.

Yeah, that Quinones guy is Saudi league's highest goalscorer with 33 goals from 31 league appearances. He's been outstanding for Mexico and will most likely score more if England dull themselves.

Jimenez may be a static player, but he won't hesitate to convert any half decent chance that presents itself.

I see the whole altitude excuse as an acknowledgement of fear even before the match proper. The moment the host nations were made known years ago, every team ought to know they would definitely play in such temperate condition if they plan to lift thr world cup.

Let the English team face their fear and quit nagging about what cannot be changed abeg.

Godx:
It's funny seeing explanation upon explanations to defend a racist country like Argentina.

Lmao a country that won copa America in 2024

On the bus home the players were singing racist chants and also targeted France


No be here we dey when Enzo dey apologize to all Chelsea players


Everyone go dey alright

andrewbaba44:
Colombia outplayed Portugal ,at least nobody go call am dark arts

Paraguay brought a little of copa America football to the World Cup and they have been trending

But according to mbappe the teams there aren’t that good

And according to ogunmepon copa America is just only Brazil and Argentina

Oya naw 😂

Lmao Colombia played proper football

They didn't punch anyone or tackle aggressively
What Paraguay did yesterday was rubbish.

BlueRayDick:
I've been seeing England fans and pundits online crying blue murder for being made to play at the Azteca stadium against no other foe but Mexico the home team. E be like say water Don dey pass garri even before the match start.

The way those Mexican strikers strike ball supposed worry any England fan and Pickford in goal.

I like the fact that the Mexican test is the real test the English team needs to prove their credentials to be one of the favorites to win the world cup. They will need their wingers springing up magic for them to have a chance to see the game off

England cannot beat mexico

afrodoc:
These England fans have started getting on my nerves online.

The gods of the Aztecs and the Maya should run this one for me abeg.

Lmao the media are forcing it , they are just setting an easy ground for their incoming defeat

Inshallah

Omo that guy dey pop

He has something like 53 goals in 55 games in Saudi and was even scoring bucket loads in Mexican league

The Azteca is not La Paz so I don't get the altitude angle. It's high but England should be relatively ok. Heard they were allowed to take Viagra for this game. If it was Bolivia then it would have been a different story. England players will faint.

There was a sequence where a Paraguay place elbowed kounde to the face
Off the ball o

"It's their tactics una"

Altitude or no altitude England will beat Mexico. It will be like the initial gragra Canada did yesterday before Morocco humbled them.

Jaidon Anthony has been snapped up by Brentford.

2022 will keep hunting Ronaldo fans until the end of time😂😂

We dy wait for Antony Taylor on monday

If Morocco get past France, I think they will go on to win the World Cup. This is the first time an African nation has looked genuinely capable of going all the way. Man to man we actually have better players than them, all we need is a world class coach.

Ellexy:
Lol let agenda agend. This same Argentina fans or another one?

Yes, the same Argentina fans!

Stop allowing your fandom for Messi becloud your sense of rational reasoning.

I am glad you did not deny the theatrics and dirty plays against France in the Finals. It is on and off the pitch!

It did not start today. Receipt full ground if you want even go down memory lane.

The altitude issue is not a mere excuse but a biological fact. The highest stadium for an EPL club (or ex-EPL club) in England is 168m above sea level. The Azteca stadium is 2.2km above sea level. That is about 2km higher up in the air and about 20% less oxygen per breath.

They are undefeated in 10 World Cup matches in that stadium for a reason. England’s players are better by far but if they phuck around in that physical and emotional atmosphere they will find out.

How did the conversation go from Paraguay to Argentina?

I can't even blame Paraguay for their actions. If the coach of Paraguay had been Mourinho or Simeone, they'd likely be praised for organizing their team to shut down all of France's attacking threats. Did we really expect Paraguay to play like prime Barca against France and get beaten unfairly? It's tournament football; I can't fault any team for doing whatever it takes to win. After all, we now have VAR, so if the referee and VAR don't do their jobs, players shouldn't suffer because of the officials' incompetence.

The reality is that something must lead to something no matter what.

Not too long ago, Argentina players were filmed singing offensive chant on the team bus directed at the French players. Enzo was the most visible in that video.

Messi was not even in the bus..but Guess what...

People left the main culprits including Enzo Fernandez and started attacking Messi. People said Messi don commit despite the fact that he wasn't there. When it was confirmed that Messi wasn't on that bus, people insisted he was there say media covered him up. Some said even if he wasn't there say he should've cautioned them during the act. May be through Bluetooth.

The whole convo then moved from those who actually sang that song to Messi himself. It was an incredibly level of salt, and I like salt

Viagra lol!

Mexico city is over 2 kilometers above sea level though, so altitude will definitely be an issue for sea-level Briticos.

Bolivia's own is just goated. Messi dey vomit anyhow then when he wasn't used to it.

ThierryJay:
It's like the meaning of dark arts is lost on you. It is not just players fighting. It's about using aggressive gamesmanship, parking the bus, time-wasting, lies, unnecessary disruptions etc as a football tactic.

You conveniently left out the fact that Netherlands were also charged by FIFA in the 2022 incident vs Argentina for violence. Were they doing dark arts too?

If it's about players fighting, then Holland vs Spain in 2010 final had a mass brawl. Not sure you'd label it as dark arts.

Bringing up Argentina's lash out reaction after losing 3-0 to Croatia shows you out of depth. You don't employ dark arts and lose 3-0. It's ironical.

Dark arts games are tense, tight and frustrating for the victims. Think Paraguay vs France yesterday, Holland vs Portugal in 2006, Brazil vs Colombia in 2014, Italy vs Holland semi final in Euro 2000 etc. In dark arts strategy, playing football is secondary.

None of Argentina's play since Worldcup 2018 is anything close to dark arts shithousery.

You don't have any evidence and no amount of name calling will change that.

Stop projecting on Argentina your nemessis.

Argentina, just like all South American teams, are guilty of dark arts and would not hesitate to deploy those disgusting tactics. There is enough evidence to that effect and it is independent of your feelings and emotions.

They didnt stop at provocation. Certain players went further to pollute it with discriminatory bile and racism.

CONMEBOL football runs on weaponised chaos. The dark arts aren’t a tactic, they’re the operating system and Argentina, with their antecedents, have played a pivotal role both locally and globally.

They are a disgrace!

It's the agenda conduits doing their Lord's work.

I remember Messi told his teammates esp Dibu to stop trolling Mbappe during celebrations.

It almost like a mindless zombie-like control epidemic now. Everything happening elsewhere is somehow redirected to Messi.

Paraguay played haram football? Project and crucify Argentina and Messi for it.

No refereeing error vs Cape Verde? cook rigging allegations from a legitimate free kick.

Cape Verde player accused of rape? It's Messi pulling the strings. He is that Ubiquitous

It's quite funny that they are moving away from the actual football to irrelevancies to deal with their eternal pain.

They just can't deal.

On a serious note, I actually do enjoy seeing their salt especially when Messi hang ball for where no good. Nothing concern me with Argentina sha. na Messi fan I be. Once he retires, they can get grouped.

Stop projecting your insecurities. No one has said anything about Messi personally.

You people are dishonest. I showed you video evidences of thousands of the same Argentina fans applauding the Cape Verde players and celebrating with their fans after the game but you ignored it and looked for a bad example to justify your position.

By that logic every country is racist because they have bellends among their supporters and if that's what you're looking for you will find it among any country. But since is Argentina, let's brand them all racist and bad. If stanship is beclouding anyone's reasoning here, it's definitely not mine.

By the way this was the same Speed in Argentina celebrating his birthday and racist Argentines singing happy birthday to him.

nitrogen:
I wonder too. This is something else. There is clear evidence that Speed was racially abused. They said he’s always abused Messi. We saw what Argentine players did to Mbappe after their WC win, they said Mbappe abused them first. Is racism now an acceptable reaction to general abuse?

The mental gymnastics these guys went through to defend Argentina were something else.

Your head dey there.

I actually started supporting Argentina from USA 94 based on the Maradona hype and I've stuck with them ever since from icons Batigol, Ortega, Aimar, Riquelme to Messi.

Argentina have always been capable of the dirty plays but this aspect usually only rears up against fellow aggressive South Americans. They were typically dirty during Maradona's time because he embraced that style with his flair as well.

But Messi's style is much purer, and with this current team, only in the Copas would you find them playing like Paraguay yesterday and that would be against Brazil. Never against Europeans.

More racism on display

these suppose to be evidence of Argentinans not being racist?

AirBere:
That game go tough. The fans, the overall atmosphere. Even referee decisions go favor Mexico and Mexico sabi move ball small.

England go beat them

Mexico will not know how to park the bus and frustrate England especially in front of their home fans

If they go toe to toe with England they will lose in 90mins

Na why referee dey to give out cards ,but unfortunately na France Dey collect the cards instead
