Okay, well now its getting embarrassing. Will AFA take a look at this, and find a new coach, I doubt it .
we are playing 433 with the wrong players vs a team playing 451. Unlike Mexico who sucks a$$, Germany actually has a good midfield. We lucked out vs Mexico and we got rightfully owned vs Germany. Really? he didn't know his midfield would get overrun? Holy shit anybody seeing the lineups would know... He had many players to choose from and he chose like a fuking blind mentally challenged ape.
I don't understand why Diego stuck with both Maxi and Di Maria. We needed someone who could control the midfield. Mascherano desperately needed some support out there...
Lets be honest, all those games we played and won was fools gold. We got built up and got dropped. What a disaster.
thats what happens when you leave zanetti out and put otamendi there.. In the middle , cambiasso , gago or banega needed to be there to help mashe Up front di maria was a disaster , i rather have messi , tevez and higuin.. Well deserved win for germany, they are going to win this world cup..
Exactly! Where were those other wasted spots(players) that were suppose to help this team? Diego let Argentina down. Feel bad for Messi.
Skipped the game after 15 minutes. I thought Otamendi was having the worst 15 minutes of a player I have ever seen. 0-4, that is world huge different. We are as idiotic as the Brazilians.
The first goal was simply unacceptable. Starting with Otamendi getting easily beaten and committing a stupid foul to Romero standing there waiting for the ball instead of challenging. Now the second goal is what killed the game. We were literally dominating starting the second half and the defense COULD NOT CLEAR THE BALL.
I am not sad, i am glad. This will finally put the nail on the maradona coffin. For anyone who watched the qualifiers, and watched the 6-0 Bolivia game, we all knew that the castle of cards was going to crumble upon the idiot maradona sooner or later. Maybe instead of talking trash and putting on his earrings and rings he should be learning about soccer strategy. Only an idiot like him with some of the best players in his bench (and off) can allow such a humilliation. I am sure Zanetti and Cambiasso feel vindicated right now. Jonas Gutierrez, Otamendi and DiMichelis in the NT? what a joke.. German goal number three showed just how bad Argentina's defense really is. Maybe now, after the Brasil and Argentina fiascos, South American soccer federations will start hiring real coaches with real winning records, instead of hiring former players who have never won anything as coaches. Bye Dunga, Bye Diego.
This is what I have said before the game. Take in Bolatti, Clemente, Jonas and drop for Di Maria and Maxi and Otamendi. Today it was obvious - the questions remains what could have been with Zanetti and Cambiasso/Banega ? And please put in some Diego Buonanotte, he is speed, playermaker, midfielder,striker in one and has a terrific left foot.
I can't really blame Maradona. Does anyone really think we could have won this game? Even if we had Cambiasso, Zanetti and G. Milito it wouldn't matter. Our midfield couldn't connect to the attack. Tevez and Messi spent way too much time on the ball and got the ball taken from them time and again. Or worse, they try to dribble between 3-4 defenders and never get through. Otamendi I thought was outclassed - and bordering on getting an ejection. Higuain did well, Di Maria was dissappointing. Maradona's changes I thought were reasonable but made no difference. We were simply outclassed, and had no way to handle the counterattack. Plus we are freaking short compared to the Germans.
No, Otamendi has had half a good year as a player. That's it. I hated him before this cup started, now I hate him even more. I hope he never wears the shirt again.
The more I am thinking about it, the more ticked off I am getting. I left the room after it became 3-0. I could not bare to watch. The house is as quiet, and not much is going on. We are Argentina, we do not lose 4-0. and we do not lose 4-0 in a World Cup. Our worse defeats have came to the hands of Diego. Love the man, but right now I can bare to see his face. Do the right thing and step down. Let a coach give us something to smile about next year for CA.
Our defense sucked our midfield sucked our attack sucked. Coaching sucked too. I wonder where are those who were singing how we were destined to win this WC.
Did you watch the Inter vs Bayern game? I'm sure you didn't. Zanetti was shutting everyone down and Cambiasso was a major threat. I know because I was going for Bayern.
