Nothing we didn't know in the end.
Argentina pounded on teams that THEY HAVE ALWAYS pounded histroically with it style. and it's depth. But again wilted against a team that either is it's equal or it's better. Brazil played easy TEAM soccer, while Basile wanted to win games on the feet of a few brilliant players that was to mesh well with the rest of the team. IN THE END OUR OLD MENTALLITY did us in again.
1. We played GREAT soccer against teams in formation (USA, MEX, PARA, and Peru) and did back flips when we pouded on them, We did what we needed to do. Pound them, but should have been realistic in terms of why we pounded them YES we were better and we should have been smarter in not letting it get to our heads which it did.
2. TEAM TEAM TEAM. AM sick of reading in OLE, CLARIN, and LA NACION how Argentina is a band of brothers, are these buddies this unbreakable team. When yes they are band of brothers, but THEY ARE NEVER A SOCCER TEAM! Brazil beat us with TEAM soccer, and we play alot of individual soccer. Messi is going to be the bext great one, but he needs to be less selfish, and WE NEED TO STOP DEPENDING ON 3 OR 4 PLAYERS, AND START MAKING SURE ALL 11 ARE ON THE SAME PAGE! If Messi, Tevez, Zannetti, and the WHOLE team has speed, and Riquelme is SLOW and "thinking" THEN WE SHOULD PLAY TO OUR TEAMS ADVANTAGE WHICH IS SKILL AND SPEED, Not to the way one player plays. Slow.....
3. OUR STYLE beats the minos of soccer, NOT the ones who are equal to us. Brazil, and Germany have beaten us time in and time again with THEIR soccer, while our style wilts. We need to Understand that we need to MODIFY how we play against the other powers. We can play sweet and pretty soccer against the minos, BUT we need to play DIRECT, SPEED soccer against the BIG GUNS if not we will keep crying in finals and World cups.
4. Riquelme ONCE again shows he's the head dog in the pound when he's the only BIG dog. But another BIG dog in the pound and he crumbles. Slow SLOW SLOW, Roman did nothing today and in the World Cup against Germany because he had players of HIS CALIBER around him playing against him. When AImar, the midfileder most UNDER used by ARgentina EVER in big games, his speed created almost an imideate chance when him and Messi hooked up. But UNFORTUNITLLY we took another goal and that was that.
5. In terms of the Brazil game, Why no milito?????? We had 2 wide players up top throwing crosses to the middle of the box with NO ONE there????? Big MISTAKE by BAsile.
6. Messi is the real deal.. With Aguero, Pavone, Hueguain, and other fast paced players and hopefully a Basile that wakes up and plays to his teams talents using skill and speed, all 11 on the same page we have a EXPLOSIVE TEAM......
7. WCQ will be more of the same we will qualify hands down but come the world cup we will need to adapt and if we don't out in the quaters again.
8. We are sad, but there are bright spots, the brighest spots I THINK are the young players that we need to USE and FAST to get them going on the National team.... The darkest spot is on the bench. Basile is a winner, just like roman when he's the big fish in the sea, but when another big fish comes around. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
