3-3

Gnabry carrying these scrubs, look shattered at the end

by Hapless_Hans Sun Aug 07, 2016 9:54 pm

Gnabry needs to get out of Arsenal ASAP, they have become a talents' graveyard.

He won't have a future there, and in the present he's mistreated by being given away so that his spirit can be killed by someone like Tony Pulis.

Gnabry>Sane

Argentina are a man down. That team is the biggest group of thugs I've seen. We get a counter and they kick us because they have no pace on that team Laughing

Yeah Joel Campbell is killing his career staying there.

I thought the German squad looked good on paper, but maybe they really dont want to be there, missing the start of the club season and all that kind of things?

They had only one week to train together before the tournament, which is not really much to get the defence together or learn their pass ways.

I think they are all mediocre players, to the last one, maybe one or two, three, exceptions.

Damn, a bunch of nervous little kids with a clueless coach. I don't think this will end well.

Brasil and Iraq not showing any of that Olympic Spirit, or showing too much football skill either.

Kind of sad to watch the continuing decline of Brasilian football. I am kind of switching over to watch the swimming, but this game is so bad I am even switching channels to watch stuff like gymnastics and Visa commercials.

by elitedam Mon Aug 08, 2016 4:08 am

I don't think I've ever seen Neymar play this bad. And this coach, wow! I don't think his BS "tactics" would do well even on FIFA. After going to China Renato Augusto isn't a football player anymore. Hopefully he's done with the national team after this.

I think it's another first round exit for us in another extremely weak group.

Also, I hate Brasilian fans. You can boo all you want after the game but during it is one of the stupidest things you can do.

Algerias team is so talented but *bleep* dude, these players need to move to Europe. The skill is clearly there, they schooled Argentina on a techincal level but tactically and mentally they might as well be a bunch of rec players

Better coaching from us is needed or our domestic players won't make that next step. Kind of reminds me of Egypt-Algeria 2009, Egypts players back then had the skill but no final ball or discipline compared to our European players

Honduras U23 teams knocks out Argentina U23 from the Olympics, Unreal scenes.

They'll be facing the Nigerian U41 team in QF's.

by rincon Wed Aug 10, 2016 7:09 pm

Messi can't eve kommand the U23 to beat honduras :facepalm:

SA have garbage coaches aside from Sampaoli and Simeone from what I know surprising both are Argentinean yet Argentina haven't tried breaking an arm or leg to get them to coach them.

by Harmonica Wed Aug 10, 2016 7:19 pm

Take Fakenaldo off and Portugal wins Euro's, take Messi of and they can't even qualify from Olympic groups. rofl

by rincon Wed Aug 10, 2016 7:19 pm

??

Dude I was just trolling but Argentina have absolutely world class coaches. Some of the best around.

Simeone, Bielsa, Sampaoli, Pochettino, Pekerman, Sabella, Gareca, Martino, etc.

A few years ago Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Argentina were all coached by argentinian coaches.

by RealGunner Wed Aug 10, 2016 8:18 pm

Gnabry

by elfmeter Wed Aug 10, 2016 8:25 pm

Germany looking like they will get the 5 goals they need to assure qualification, mostly thanks to the Fiji keeper.

Also, one of those big football questions everyone has been asking for ages is whatever happened to Frank Farina? Turns out he is the coach of Fiji.

Simeone and Sampaoli I'd say are WC, even a shout out to Poch, however the others are good, but by no means WC.

by rwo power Wed Aug 10, 2016 8:41 pm

Germany 5:0 Fiji just 5 minutes before the break. Läuft!

Some are better or worse but to call SA coaches garbage is ridiculous.

Which european country produces more quality coaches than Argentina? maybe 2 max.

by rwo power Wed Aug 10, 2016 9:17 pm

8:0 now after 60 minutes. Germany safely through now (unless we totally collapse in the last 30min)

by rwo power Wed Aug 10, 2016 10:00 pm

So it's Germany 10:0 Fiji and South Korea 1:0 Mexico in the end.

This means we'll meet Portugal in the QF, while South Korea play against Honduras.

by rwo power Sat Aug 13, 2016 5:47 pm

He just scored his 6th goal in Brazil in injury time right before the half-time break in the match against Portugal!
