Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

Kranevitter is a lost cause. I would call up Dominguez and Robertone (the boys from Velez Sarsfield) long before I would even consider Kranevitter.

 

Just a comment on Dybala.

He's somewhat upped his play since he's been given this new role in the midfield, at least over the last few weeks. He was having a decent game, one of the few players for Juve that had a good game today. But yet, Juventus being down 2-0, he gets subbed off for Douglas Costa. What this meant was the only natural goal scorer that was left was Cristiano. What a brilliant move by Allegri. He not only lost his position as a forward but when he's asked to play in the midfield and does a good job, he still gets subbed off. Juventus' midfield is utter trash, where a forward is required to dictate the teams frontline. Juve ended up losing 3-0.

As for Krane. Since leaving River, he's gone to three different clubs and he hasn't been able to find a home. It is somewhat telling that a player by 25, has not been able to find stability at a single for a long period of time, he perhaps isn't cut out to be a top-class player. I don’t think he’ll be a national team player anymore.

As for Simeone, glad he finally scored. But I tend to worry about a player scoring goals in this manner. Score 2-4 games in a couple weeks and then goes silent for a couple months and then has another hot streak. I’d rather have a consistent player who can deliver more often than not.

Icardi has been quiet as well. His big mouth wide can’t shut her trap to the media about his contract and there are reports there are problems between Icardi and Perisic.

I know Kun scores again and I read that it was his 15th league goal in his 13th showing...?

Well anyways, it’s gonna be interesting to see who will be called up and who will return in those friendlies.

Oh, and Fatso’s replacement scored two goals in his debut for Milan.

Lol.

Higuain made 50+ year old Maradona looks pretty slim.

Seriously, how the fck a pro footballer is allowed to play in that kind of shape?

I think Icardi will move soon or later. He shouldnt waste more time in a team that struggles week and week out. He's been league top scorer twice, there's nothing more to chase with Inter.


I thought Messi is gonna play less club game after losing 0-3 in first league in CDR , but they won 6-1 in return game . Messi scored the last goal while Banega missed crucial penalty which could put his team 3-1 ahead.

It got shot down. Still the fact that it was bandied about is wild.

Yeah really weird. Good on DC to be honest. PSG tried to pull a fast one when they were supposedly the desperate ones.

 

Wow, look how close he is to the ground.

But let's get real here, we all know he was gonna go to PSG and basically ride the bench. But I'd be upset, too. Maybe Toronto can use him. I believe they just sold-off the midget Giovinco, maybe they'll replace him for another.

 

Depends what you want. An easy payday or a very easy payday. I mean, it would be nice to live and play in Paris(Even though Paris is not what it once was) but riding the bench and occasionally playing? Nah, I'd rather go to the MLS. Not much pressure, guaranteed to get your paycheck on a regular basis and living in the U.S. isn't bad at all, especially if you're a semi-famous pro-athlete.

Look at Valeri, a decent player back home, right? Tried Europe a few times and eventually ends up at Portland, where he is considered a legend for them. Making good money. More and more players are going to end up in the MLS( I don't mean the cracks but your average-decent type of player). There is a Latino community, no matter where you go, so it isn't that bad. Better than going and playing in Rubin Kazan.

 

Oh I didn't know his contract status. That was still pretty lame of PSG though.

I think MLS is slowly taking over as the North American option from Liga MX. Still has a ways to go competitively but between the pay and the life off the field it may end up more appealing than Mexico.

How cool is that?

 

Thats freekick idea was as briliant as the one we scored againts England in 1998.

 

Holy shit, the finishing from this team...Gaich makes Fatso look like Batigol(A happy 50th).

 

From highlights I saw , it seems that none of the South American youth teams are playing great football at all. Brazil also looks similar in front of goal.

Sad to say but those European teams seems to be ahead these days not only at senior level but also at youth level.

 

Higuain finally scored for Chelsea

They promised him an extra meal.

 

Make that two extra meals!

Good for him .

However , when he missed in those finals for NT, he's banging goals like crazy for Napoli, even broke serie A top scorer record.

If he could gets 70 goals this season, I'd consider him to be on NT bench, maybe.

 

Pretty emotional display in Cardiff right now for Emiliano Sala. Well done by the fans there. So many Argentinian flags and jerseys in the crowd. Glad they were able to win today.
