tata martino .... such a useless manager !!!! cant use such a nice squad !! he is doing same as he did in barca... or even worse !!! unlucky Argentina !!! diego simione would have done a grate job !!!
@chinmay001vdus As of now, we have to rely on their individual skills and instincts.. What a shame, a decent tactical job would've given us bigger hopes..
Well.. Ok... I am not convinced Argentina can win this anymore. Tata, as usual by now, completely destroyed their WC momentum and chemistry. What a clown of a coach and autorithy. The real question is what kind of sane official would appoint him as a coach=?
@TheKop I've a bit riding on Argentina for victory but I may lay some down live on a goal in the 35'-45'+ range depending on how the match is being played. I'm not comfortable with the 2.5. Uruguay has a decent defense and a mediocre front so I could realistically see a 1-0, 1-1, or 2-0 playing out
There was actually a hole in Argentina's defensive midfield against Paraguay... Masche has to take over the midfield if they doesn't want to concede goals tonight. About Messi, he already had a good performance last match and his ability is enough to make the difference for his national.
@Obeherr Paraguay isn't a bad offensive set though to be honest. As crazy as it sounds, I'd say Paraguay is a slightly better team than Uruguay these days.
@HandofGod You may be right, although they ranked last in WC 2014 qualifications, I recognise Ramón Dias' work enough to say they aren't so bad right now. But Argentina wasn't menaced at all in first half and when Paraguay decided to attack, argentinean defense really loosened the marking specially at the midfield. They cannot commit this same mistake if they want to win Copa America.
@Obeherr 2nd game of the group stage yet so it's hard to judge the d on that game alone. It was atrocious without doubt though. I don't think really the backline has to be particularly spectacular to win it all, just average-- and obviously, to compensate, the top 6 have to show up in games to come like Chile and Brazil. I think Chile will be their biggest defensive test assuming they meet up. At any rate, we shall see
@tuhin Yeah, he should probably be a CM in the midfield three. I thought you were saying the line up was wrong in the preview. I didn't dislike your comment by the way. I can prove that by liking now.
Will be 2-1 for Arg. Another time, they will be stronk in 1rst Half with 2 goals (Messi and Aguero), and the 2nd will be a struggle to defend against the "garra charrúa", that will come to a discount around the 80' mark.
Simone!
Biggest disappointment so far, Cavani or Tata?
@lolzzzzzzzz Tata still..
The Argentinians' defense is a bit shaky, imagine if Suarez was playing..
yes ! we won :D
Alvaro Pereira is on 23% passing lmao
Nice game from Muslera.. Galatasaray were champs for yet another reason..

@blitz AFA is a joke. They ruined the youth ranks, too. So after this generation is over Argentina is screwed.
@blitz relax
@blitz Right. With the quality and amount of talent their roster has, it's quite perplexing why they are not dominating the offensive end yet..
JUst wondering when will Simeone be called up for International duties.. hmmm.
1-0
@Javad011 watching it now and i agree, goal in the last 15
@HandofGod damnit lol
Oh them passes!
Uruguay getting pressed like a lemon right now!
Aguero score 2 gol by cavani 1 gol arg2-1uru
In my opinion, the only way Uruguay W/D this is if they frustrate the Argentine attack long enough and score on a counter.
narrow win for Argentina. I would bet on over 2.5. what is your idea?

Hat trick for Di Maria tonight.
Tabarez will own and sell Martino like a GIJOE toy

MESSI - ARGENTINA take your chances and you will win!
Tata Martino should make strong defense
Only Laporte comes close to Gimenez for Best young defender crown.
Argentina 1-2 Uruguay
why Maria is playing as a forward ? Amazing formation!
@tuhin He played left forward in the last game Einstein
@TacticalMastermind But why ? He should played at midfield
@tuhin Yeah, he should probably be a CM in the midfield three. I thought you were saying the line up was wrong in the preview. I didn't dislike your comment by the way. I can prove that by liking now.
If Tata can not win copa with this team, then better say tata(Bye Bye).

3-1 to argentina...messi to score a brace Higuan is pathetic...midfield is key..tata needs to get his tactics right
@Lapulga Double agreed on Higuain comment.
I think 3:2 ?
Argentina expected to come back very strong in this game. They won't let the same thing happen twice.
@pFr45SPsm I think most everyone is on board with that comment there.
1-1
3-2
With Messi, Aguero, Di Maria, Higuain and Teves in the linup. How can there be only 1 goal scored !!
Argentina's finishing was not good in last match. If all chances are taken, then god save Uruguay this time.
without Suarez let's hope Argentina can overcome the team that pushed them out of the tournament last time.
