Argentina vs Hong kong - Friendly, 14th Oct 2014

So I decided to make thread on this game , I live in South east Asia so the time schedule is definetely too good for me to miss this game.

Even though this might be considered as weak opposition, I'd love to see the frontlines to score at least 3 goals to get confidence boost. Kun didnt score a single goal during the WC, Pipita scored just once and Messi has not scored since WC group stage.

Also, we shall see how the defence fare this time.

Confirmed line up : Guzman, Roncaglia, Otamendi, Vergini, Vangioni, Perez, Gago, Banega, Pastore, Higuain, Gaitan

 

Hong kong players look terrified, losing the ball easily.

China is beating Paraguay, hopefully we dont suffer the same fate

Pastore failed to score from 3 yards , great play from Pipita though.


I still dont understand why we're playing with 1 forward again.

 

Banega scored.

 

The game so far mostly played in HK half

Pastore almost scored after a one-two.

 

He put so much gel that its even affecting his shoes.

 

We're toying them, if Di Maria or Messi play in second half, we're going to thrash them.

 

The problem though, we dont have anyone capable of making a piercing run.

 

Nutmeg pass from Pastore, wasted by Pipita. Why did he even pass that one.

Higuain goal ruled out, stupid ref.

 

Well, he scored. Great cross and header.

 

Game over.

The other half of the pitch hasnt been used so far.

 

Since the WC, 7 goals in 135 minutes without Messi. 90 minutes zero goal with Messi.
