still can't wrap my head around how a messi lead argentina team with aguero and others can't play for shyt (i know they reached the wc final in '14 but their performance was far from great even then)

best ever anyway (unless cris scores 4 against simeone)

They didn't have Xavi or Iniesta type of player to give Messi the ball high up the pitch. With the NT he plays deeper.

If they had Redondo and Veron instead of Gago, Perez, Bigila, Meza, Banega and Ricky Alvarez, they would of looked better. What they really really needed was a b2b goal scoring midfielder, but Argentina don't produce those type of midfielders, only the defensive destroyer types.

Dude who runs Man City's number 1 blog is a convicted pedo. :scust:


Adam Johnson also used to play for Man City, if you know who that is or what he did.

Just giving you more ammo for when you need to deflect from what happens on the pitch, since you are so concerned about what a person not even affiliated with the club does.

there's a reason why im bringing this up right now... he just scored three to bring back a weak barca NO XAVI NO ANDRES NO NADA, fully aware of how strong this team used to be... but now look at him !!! all by himself

Also the fact that the attacking Fullback seems to be a foreign concept to them(minus Zabaleta & Zanetti) has hurt them too.

Once he got his system in place he created a side that can give any team problems. He's doing his thing.
