Fuck the ref though. Only 90 seconds of football was actually played in the five minutes of extra time and he blew the whistle during an attack while the clock didn't even reach five minutes.

Thought the referee was decent enough overall but yeah, another minute would have been warranted

Brazil's problem is that these days, their sense of entitlement and their douchiness far exceeds their footballing quality.
Which is quite a feat for someone with proper elite, generational quality like Neymar, much easier to do for the rest of the team which really is just a bunch of sad scrubs if we take out the core of central defense, and Casemiro.

Richarlison,  really? Everton, Lodi, who are these zeros? Fred frm Man United, seriously? Clowns like Gabigol..

And then there's world class performer and winner in Fabinho on the bench, Jesus fucking Christ.
I know that Tite is very highly rated but the team he put out was crap, and the changes he made were crap too.

Argentina on the other hand, well coached, balanced, a good team. And individually they're not much better, especially since Messi didn't really show up. They were just a  better team.
Best Argentina team I've seen in 10 years.

Best Argentina team I've seen in 10 years. No doubt.

Finally, they have a solid keeper, solid defense, and a decent midfield. And a decent coach. This team can reach WC semi if they continue working together.

I watched the game today in the mediatek. First of all, Congrats BC, the title is well deserved. Second, what happened to Brazil? I haven't been following them for a long time but they seem like a bunch of average scrubs + Neymar + Casemiro, really disappointing for a football nation like Brazil. I was surprised by the level of team work in the Argentinian team. They didn't look like out of this world but the 11 was a proper team. Strangely enough, I didn't notice any meaningful contribution by Messi, still the team felt better, more complete than in previous yearsThe highlight was Di Maria's first touch for the goal.

I think the 2014 team was better. But in the end all that matters are results.

This is definitely not the best Argentina team I've seen in ten years. At all. However, it's the only Argentine team that won since Mark Whalberg was Marky Mark so...yeah why not.

Seriously, in no other timeline in the history of Brasil's National team set up would those players have made the squad other than now.

I don't know what Brasil used to do when she was developing genuine world class footballers but they need to go back to that. Because this, nah, this ain't cutting it.

Let's not get carried away, Tite had not lost in 3 years with that team and Brazil certainly had their chances to equalize. They're still amongst the favorites for Qatar.

Wooo hoooo, congrats to Argentina FINALLY. Been forever supporting them to win something and Copa would do, its just been to longgggggggggggg waiting Very Happy

Havent followed the NTs, but yea this Argentina team just seem much more solid and defesively strong, even Otamendi is doing well tells u a lot Razz

Di Maria is so key, he was out of the WC final which weakened them so much the opposition just have to d Messi, this time he proved key again. The midfield as others had said are so improved finally.

Brazil agree as well, just not as good as in the previous era players wise u feel, Danilo? Lodi? Etc., and then u bring on Firmino who u need goals with Richardlison wide, and Neymar just being fouled whenever he gets the ball.

Argentina played smart, and agree also the ref just blew the whistle b4 the times up when Brazil could have gone on for a counter at the end which weird.

Anyway, just sooo happy for Messi too, u can see everybody sharing the happiness for winning something finally he so deserves! :wub:

Neymar dribbling past three Argentine players and then getting dispossessed by Firmino summed up the match for Brazil.

There's no way they are one of the favorites for Qatar unless Coutinho, Firmino, Jesus, Arthur go back to they how good they were a few years ago and the likes of Paqueta, Guimaraes, Ralphinia, Martinelli, Emerson Royal develop into truly great players and mainstays of the NT. Until then they will be scrub killers which will pad their stats and crash out to the first good team they face.

De Paul was unreal. What a performance.

This was an enjoyable game surprisingly as I thought it would be a lot more scrappy.

The most worrying thing is how clueless Tite looked. Every 45 minutes, it was a different tactical system and personnel.

Tell me something (if you can that is), what exactly has happened with the development of footballers in Brasil where the talent pool is strangely limited, well, from my view anyway?!

I will say it is a bit strange to see Brazil dry with talent upfront anyway. The litterally just have Neymar and that's about it. I get that the previous generation to that (Ronaldinho, Kaka, et al) had big shoes to fill but never thought I'd see Brazil struggle to produce an actual creative force for their national team.

Yup, just bought on attacker after attacker like an amateur. No game plan at all. Took off everyone with a yellow card like he wanted to be praised by the commentators in FIFA.

What worries me more about lack of player talent is lack of coaching talent in Brazil. Who is there apart from Tite? Argentina has Pochettino and Simeone waiting on the sidelines potentially.

I have no idea really. Maybe it's just a poor cycle? Or maybe it's the lackluster coaching and organization? A combination of two? I don't know.

Yeah, coaching is a huge problem, at all levels. It feels like we're so far behind in that aspect. I don't know how you fix things with the way the CBF is. It's such a shitshow. A bunch of incompetent, corrupt fucks.

Renato Gaucho is the obvious choice if Tite goes, which he won't.

Before Scaloni took over it was the same with AFA and still is. Let's not forget he was an assistant and caretaker before somehow managing to land the job permanently.

As for criticising Scaloni, he has made weird decisions like not calling Ocampos and Foyth.

Also don't agree that he has improved our defence. We have just become a more defensive team, which seems to be the way forward for international competitions.
