squad for squad, they are not better than France, Brazil, Portugal or even England. this comes down to coaching. to not only beat Brazil but than the defending champions.

Lautaro being all up in the videos is sickening. Give his medal to Aguero

I for one think Scaloni fukked up with the Di Maria for Acuna sub.
I think he should’ve brought on Lisandro or any CB and reverted to the 5-3-2.

Glad we’re back to the regular scheduled futbol programming.
The WC should never be in the winter ever again.

He’s very lucky they won with some of those missed chances, would be getting it worse than Higuain did.Lautaro being all up in the videos is sickening. Give his medal to Aguero
When was the last time Morocco even played a final?
AFCON is not football, that's what I mean
The football doesn't go beyond them kicking the ball with their feet
Is that so…but AFCON was football when Black Stars were winning in the 70sThis Argentina squad is far better than people give them credit for. Not saying they’re world beaters but every player for Argentina is playing at a top club and a high level.finally posting in this bish again, but I am still perplexed on how this Argentina side beat Brazil in Copa America finals and France in the WC finals. they are not that good personnel wise.Messi is the goat but this is clearly down to being way better coached
But the key is that midfield. Technically sound so they can do the tiki taka like Spain but they have bite and tenacity. A midfield of Paredes, RDJ, Enzo, Macallister, Lo Celso is as cohesive and good as any in international football.
Outside of the back 4 of Argentia, this is very debatable, to be honest.
At current strength, give me Argentina's midfield over these two any day of the week. A front line of ADM - Alvarez - Messi is as good as any in world football.
Di Maria had fitness issues. Was never going to last 90 mins. But Acuna was the wrong guy. I thought Parades would have been better to control the game.

Baba - we will see Morocco in the final. The WC has solidified their new coach and the team will believe in them. Algerians don cry ooo

and this is where my problem with Deschamp comes in. France has midfield that are technically sound and just as good as McAllister, L Celso, Parades and Enzo but they would never get a look
