Not really. They were all on top form but they didn't do anything yesterday that I haven't seen them do before.

Colo played okay - but in a game where everyone was subpar that made him look good.

Well there was a very stark contrast between the efforts put forth by both teams, clearly.

i dunno how many of you have played against arab/north african dudes. They all play like these guys. Technically all play the same, always looking for putting it through the legs. none of them very fast or strong.

they are annoying as hell to play pick up with. when i lived in seattle these people would come in herds and all play exactly the f´ing same.

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Nov 20, 2012 3:08 am

Interesting but I've never played against them so can't say I noticed that hmm

Simeone had a great quote today: "At the Argentine national team Bilardo taught me never to exchange shirts at the end of the match, because my shirt is better than the other player's"

but still

PS BANEGA IS BACK :bow:

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jan 23, 2013 3:17 am

No Sosa. No Desabato. No Brana. No Rojo. cheers

Makes me look past the fact that he called up Di Santo instead of Lamela and some scrub instead of Willy. Overall a good list.

by Albiceleste Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:15 am

At least his lists have some up side to them now Laughing

Montillo is okay I suppose. Gaitan could be good too. Ansaldi being the only recognized fullback is a little worrying, he's quite unproven on the international level as we know, I'd put money on Campag and Ansaldi being the fullbacks. great to see banega back too

But its illogical to be leaving out the likes of Lamela, Willy, LiLo Pastore etc. players who are playing regularly and well in the best leagues in the world, for crap players like Di Santo ffs and Augusto Fernandez or Alvarez who has just gotten back from injury, or fedfern even, who cant even get a start for his club.

that said, I think its the one of the best if not the best list to date.

by barca 2011 Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:44 pm

Zabaleta has been called up as well no?

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:50 pm

yeah, not sure why RG's link didn't include him.

by Catracho Tue Jan 29, 2013 12:16 am

oye y Mauro Icardi??? Ya ta punto de representar Italia... Argentina no tienen planes de convocarlo o que?? El es un craqueeeeee pero un verdarero craqueee loko

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Jan 29, 2013 2:52 pm

lol Catrollcho strikes again.

He's good, but not good enough to get called up yet, Sabella must have some pressure to at least contact him and find out what's going on in his head, though. Since Sabella keeps a low profile it's unlikely that we'll ever know if he does anything, but hopefully he won't let it happen.

long line of Argentines who opt to play for Italy.. only fair Icardo follows Osvaldo's footsteps heh.

Probable lineup for Sweden on Wednesday:

ROMERO; ZABALETA, GARAY, FERNANDEZ, ANSALDI; GAGO, MASCHERANO, DI MARIA; AGUERO, MESSI and HIGUAIN (4-3-3)

Not bad, it's probably our best lineup. I probably would play Banega instead of Masch, but that's not going to happen. Banega has had a horrid time at the NT. Fernandez for Coloccini could also help as well.

by barca 2011 Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:02 am

Play Ever for Masch, and Masch for Fernandez hmm

I know Masch hasn't been at his best lately but the defense is apparently Argentina's biggest weakness. With a back 4 of

Zaba-----Garay-----Masch-----Ansaldi/Insua, they look more solid, especially if Masch can step his game up. Great team nonetheless.

Banega and Gago on the same midfield didn't work for Valencia, doubt it will for us with less time to prepare. Very excited to see Ansaldi play, hopefully he'll perform.

Tomorrow at 8 CET and 3 EST. Will Zlatan get his revenge from Messi's text? hmm

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Feb 05, 2013 6:24 pm

Colo will make sure Messi's deficiencies are hidden from the gazing eyes of the world :coffee:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has praised Lionel Messi ahead of facing him this week and even conceded that the 25-year-old is better than him.

Ibra, who spent a single season playing alongside Messi at Barcelona in 2009-10, will cross paths once more this week when Sweden take on Argentina on Wednesday evening.

Looking ahead to that match, the tall striker conceded that in talking about Messi, he is an incomparable force on the field.

“I think Leo is a fantastic player. Individually, surely he is the best in the world,” Ibrahimovic told reporters today.

“It is needless for me to say. Many people agree and so he has won many awards in recent seasons.

“Between him and I who is the better player? After what Leo has done in recent years, there is no debate.

“It will be fun and exciting to play against Leo this week.”

by guest7 Tue Feb 05, 2013 6:25 pm

Zlatan will hand Mehssi da D son

Nah but seriously I've a feeling that we will win tommorow. I hope I'm right Very Happy
