COPA AMERICA

It's still too simple, no matter how often you repeat that. However, a different coach would probably tell them that all the hoofing is leading nowhere. Argentina just bypass the midfield from above...


how could Moreno miss that? Argentina lucky as hell, Colombia should have gotten a penalty, too.

Anyone watching? The usual "one-goal handicap" for Argentina is in effect already. Stone wall penalty. Grondona is such a mafioso FFS!

its simple, which is way it so frustrating.

all better coach, thats all this team needs an a stick, as that would be better than milito at the back

Cambiasso

Messi trying to create something out of nothing.

benega/cambiasso ahead of pastore



tevez/lavezzi ahead of di maria

Lavezzi misses a great chance!

if people really watch Argentina and not just the highlights or stats, they will see how good he is for argentina, even at the world cup. but everything around him is just so dysfunctional

Is it that difficult for you 'Peons to realize that THIS ARGIE team beats nearly all the 'Peon teams including Spain?

You all talk as if Argentina is some shite, FFS!

Has it dawn in you that perhaps Bolivia and Colombia can play?

Tevez has ruined about 10-15 promising opportunities, most of them created by Messi. Too many egoistic c**ts in this team, has always been obvious.

Falcao is class. Should strengthen Chelsea quite a bit.

0-0 HT

Colombia had the better chances, should have gotten a penalty also. Argentina still not convincing.

So far we've only sold our coach. Any other player people say are out is just speculation. Of course all have big transfer fees so if some crazy billionaire/club or the like pays it and reaches an agrement with the player they are free to go.

Still a long way to go till the end of the transfer market.


By the way Colombia is much better than they are given credit for and Argentina as always have a dumb coach that plays with hyped players instead of their best players. And when you don´t have a Maradona to hide that fact that is a problem...

I simply dont get Argentina coach, AT ALL.

What strange and dumb creature, once again AGuero in the bench, once again a team badly set up, I trash Robinho pretty much daily but DEAR LORD, Tevez is fucking useless. Why he is a first team choice again?

In other news, City demand £50m for Tevez...

Considering the fact that this is their home tournament which they actually want to win, Argentina have been utterly disappointing so far. Colombia, Bolivia or whoever playing well or not.

Argentina, Lolz..

This is why Messi could never be called the greatest ever. Lame.

If you win in South America, you can win anywhere in the world: DiStefano, Pelé, Maradona.

If you win in Europe, you may not win in South America: Messi

It's a mystery to me seeing how Messi can beat so many English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese...defenders in one-on-one situations with space, but he looks like a headless chicken against South American defenders?????????????

In Europe he shakes and bakes EVERYONE. In South America nobody gets fooled by his moves and tricks.

Or Zidane, who continually pwned Brazilians

He dropped deep but couldn't find through passes at the right point of release. So much for a 'playmaker'..

Zidane never played Brasileiros in Rio or Sao Paulo.

We have eliminated 'em in Mexico with our Platini team.

Admit it, Brazilians love to be our bitch..

To turn on its head, Did DiStefano, Pelé, Maradona pwn 'em England (leave alone mighty France) in Wembley?

We're coming for you in 2014. Time to set the record straight and take revenge for 1958!

If Mexico's 1st team was invited we'd win the Copa América hands down. Mexico is playing out of their minds.

it might be because Barcelona actually functions as a team...Unlike Argentina.

I don't see a team like Santos de Brazil having much success against Barcelona

Hence I wrote second string team. I know that Mexico didn't send their first team (half of them were shagging some prostitutes if I remember correctly...?).

Mexico is too good for Concacrap though, you should join UEFA...

I KNOW you mean well Debbie. Watch how Solano (at 2:30) also "panics" just like Guevara's "English hoof" to Guerrero. I mean there's no technique in their long balls, they're just "English hoofs to anyone up front", right?

I DO mean well Puro. It certainly wasn't just the successful long ball that got the goal to which I was referring. If even half the HOOFS had been that successful, it would've been about 10-1 to Peru As it was, quite often your defence played speculative long balls and found it coming back to them pretty quick. I felt warm familiarity watching this

Tevez: "Football isn't fun when it's so cold."

It's your home country you excuse of an excuse.

"Poor Messi" is tranding on Brazila dnArgentina twitter, I actually feel bad for the guy. Argentina is such a mess and he will get the blame in a failure

So we can strike out a return to Boca Juniors as well. I think he's just trying to set himself up for a payday in the middle east.

Grondona is ruining Argie football. Tévez may be a c**t, but when a corrupt fucko is pulling the strings, bizarre things tend to happen to a "Selección" at all levels and to the clubs. The cesspool quickly overflows.

I've seen that happened to Perú since 1985, and I'm witnessing the same to Argentina.

We found a way to scare Burga to death (although he's still in power, he's finally redistributing the ca$h for the development of players). Them Argies must find a way to get rid of Grondona or at least straighten him up.

A mafioso must be dealt with mafia protocols.

Owning England means nothing since there are much bigger fish to fry, don't you think?

Pelé at 17 years old made France his bitch when your Frenchies looked like they were gonna run away with the world cup scoring goals for fun. Then he utterly destroyed what turned out to be the strongest team (this side of Brasil of course) in that '58 World Cup in their own turf no less.

France have been successful against Brasil the last few matches because you play pussy-football against them even in Paris.

When you come out of your shells, you get your asses handed to you, just like we did in Paris no less when we (Perú) whooped your ass 0-2 (one goal disallowed for Oblitas's called "offside" when he was FIVE METERS ONSIDE )

Cueto owned Platini, he bossed the midfield just like he did against the Dutchies in '78. Cueto made Platini his bitch in midfield, he even started passing the ball with his heels, OLE!.

You play straight up against Brasil and then talk.
