Group F: ARGENTINA, BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA, IRAN, NIGERIA

[Sven]

that's as much defensive as I saw Argentina under Sabella

 

[Raz]

The Bosnia kits look far too much like Chelsea's

They made the sponsorship deal with Adidas just before the start of WC and there was no time for a custom design, so they went with a generic 2014 Adidas kit.

 

[Polotelli]

De XI van Argentinië: Romero; Zabaleta, Garay, Fernandez, Campagnaro, Rojo; Maxi Rodriguez, Mascherano, Di Maria; Messi, Aguero. #argbos

De XI van Bosnië-Herzegovina: Begovic; Mujdza, Spahic, Bicakcic, Kolasinac; Besic, Pjanic; Hajrovic, Misimovic, Lulic; Dzeko. #argbos

Garay's stock value is going through the roof after this WC

In what formation are they playing?

 

[Rickaka]

In what formation are they playing?

532/343 it seems.

The formation hype is real

 

[KujaIX]

That Argentina team isn't great.

I don't see them anywhere near favourites.

 

[Polotelli]

That Argentina team isn't great.

I don't see them anywhere near favourites.

I agree

but let's see it play first

to me it's seem way to unbalanced as well

 

[jammin]

Messi solo begins

 

[Mario]

Why the fuck is Maxi Rodriguez starting?! They have Portos Enzo Perez on the bench ffs

Anyways, looking forward to this game, should be great! Forza Dzeko & Pjanic

 

[KujaIX]

Messi solo begins

Only chance they have.

Their defence isn't good enough. Their keeper isn't good enough(not as important). Their midfield isn't very strong.

They're extremely unbalanced. I honestly think England has a better first XI this tournament.

 

[jammin]

Daaamn the Maracana looks fantastic. Can't wait for the final.

 

[Polotelli]

Romero
Garay - Fernandez - Campagnaro
Zabaleta - Maxi Rod. - Mascherano - Di Maria - Rojo
Messi - Aguero

Romero
Garay - Fernandez - Campagnaro
Zabaleta - Maxi Rodriquez - Mascherano - Rojo
Messi - Aguero - Di Maria​

seems weird to me

 

[Rickaka]

I wan't Messi to choke hard this wc

 

[Sage]

argentina looking good, shame that higuain isn't starting as messi plays his best football for argentina when paired with higuain

 

[Polotelli]

I wan't Messi to choke hard this wc

harder then in the last ones?

 

[Rickaka]

harder then in the last ones?

Yes.

The no ambition left-Messi bashing will be fun when WC is over

 

[Sage]

Yes.

The no ambition left-Messi bashing will be fun when WC is over

so cute

 

[Rickaka]

What's that got to do with having ambition left?

 

[Sage]

yeh messi has a season below his usual standards (41 goals in 46 games) = no ambition, doesn't want to win WC etc.


lel

 

[FNF]

Forza Bosnia!

 

[jammin]

This is the stadium in my dreams, sware 2 god.

 

[MilanMB]

[Sage]

[Sage]

hahahaha yes 1-0

 

[FNF]

God damn it.

 

[jammin]

Tiiiite marking on Messi

 

[profpk]

that was fast

 

[FNF]

Messi has been shut down do far. But the whole team has so much pace.

 

[profpk]

almost!

 

[FNF]

Come on Bosnia!"!!

 

[jammin]

Is this how Argentina normally play or does Messi really want to impress?
