Honestly Argentina are my favourites

I'll try not to watch though

Is it just me? For sure both Argentina and Brasil are and should be favorites, mainly because none of the Europeans are looking good this time around and the fact that tournaments outside of Europe usually work in favor of SA.

But when I see the squad lists of both, there is no comparison in my mind, Brasil should be heavily the overall favourite!

I agree but football is not played on paper. The fact that Argentina just beat Brazil in their own backyard gives them the edge for me.

Lo Celso is an unfortunate injury. He was really good at playing that psuedo LCM/LM role.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Nov 13, 2022 2:44 am

He'll be missed for sure, especially if dima gets injured again (only a matter of time)

hm, Argentina losing player to injury one by one, not good for them

anyone else missing? I knew only lo celso. Di maria and Dybala should be back. I doubt though Di maria can remain injury free for the entire tournament and not sure how many games Dybala would start even if he is fit

by El Gunner Sun Nov 13, 2022 8:10 pm

i thought Dybala was fully out... even if he doesn't start, it's always nice to have a talented option on the bench

He came on as a sub vs Torino yesterday and had a nice curling shot saved by the post..... looked ok.

Apparently 4-5 million people on the streets of Buenos Aires. Shocked

Can imagine, a country thats been in troubled times for yrs if not decades overall n in football has underperformed post Maradone. The joy after so long down is always the best Smile

Nah that was some other who fell of a building, at least that's what I read from Argentine forum.

by El Gunner Wed Dec 21, 2022 7:16 am

i definitely expect a few injuries, casualties and missing kids in such a situation

even Messi and co almost caught taken out by a telephone line while on top of the bus Laughing

by Myesyats Wed Dec 21, 2022 9:15 am

Dude ffs Its nice and all but is it worth dying for ??? My gosh

by BarcaLearning Wed Dec 21, 2022 3:46 pm

Like a comedy movie seen that was Razz

Real life can be mad as a movie at times, crazy fanatic sport fans XD

Arg famous for messy organisation... man imagine if one of those players did get serious injuries from the fans or the power line or whatever... even Messi ffs... ppl need to control themselves even in euphoria...

Full sweep. Also Scaloni extends to 2026.

De Paul saying La Scaloneta is the best Argentina side ever. Hard to argue with that. Longest undefeated streak, only losing a game in Copa America, Finalissima and World Cup run, beating previous Copa champion, Euro champion, and World Cup runner-up and champion.

So? Argentina was clearly better in every game, and all those were correct penos. The one against Poland could've not been given, but it didn't affect the result anyway.

by El Gunner Wed Mar 01, 2023 9:43 pm

just trolling you...

Finally. Only needed to win everything and lose only a game in four years to reach #1. Laughing

by Harmonica Sun Oct 15, 2023 8:34 pm

One loss in 50. Only other team to achieve this was 50's Hungary, that lost WC54 final.
