Let's put things into perspective here: Argentina is in sorrow because they have lost six major tournament finals since 1990. SIX. Won a few...
That red card was completely ridiculous though. Ref wanted to even things up. There was barely no contact at all.
That Holland team was probably their worst in World Cup since the stoneage. He took that very average team (by Dutch standards) to semifinals and...
When it's a final, Higuain couldn't score on the empty net. That guy is just amazing. Exactly the same kind of position as in 2014 in World Cup...
1990 World Cup final: Loss (that was a setup though) 2004 Copa America final: Loss 2007 Copa America final: Loss 2014 World Cup final: Loss 2015...
Germany 1990 was the oldest team of the tournament. Argentina 2014 was the oldest team of the tournament. France 2006 (the finalist team) was by...
Let's mention Ezequiel Garay and Marcos Rojo once again. Those guys are Warriors. I esp. loved Garay. He want to the penalty spot in semifinal...
We WILL win the next Copa. Unless Maradona gets the coaching job again. :D
Agreed. This team simply HAS to win Copa now. On paper it has never looked this easy. Who is our biggest threat? Brazil, Fred and their...
I could understand pessimism like this if you were a England fan. :D Cheer up guys and keep things in perspective. The 2010 final was the only...
Yes I know. Maradona got 3 only for the entertainment value that he provided. :D
As I said before, as a football nation Argentina should swallow its pride and get a Spanish speaking European top coach like Van Gaal. :D No,...
I have total confidence that Argentina wins the Copa next year and plays in yet another World Cup final in 2018. You can blame Sabella's subs all...
Yes, and we reached those last two finals with much less talent than we had in 94, 98, 02, 06 and 10. 1986 and 1990 were defensive units. Besides...
PS: Imagine traditionally good football nations like Portugal, Belgium, Russia, Mexico, Denmark, etc. Yes, they're not in the TOP four, but solid...
I've seen Argentina win two Cups in my lifetime and play in four finals. Life is long and when you sleep over this you'll have another opinion...
Yes. He would have netted that in any other game. But this was the World Cup final, the biggest sports event in the world. It was too big game for...
I meant that those guys couldn't get THEMSELVES any real chances. That's what effective strikers do... they EARN their chances. When the kitchen...
I don't believe it. I'm 45, I remember full well even the 1978 triumph. This 2014 team had the LEAST effective offense of ANY Argentina team I've...
Messi will be only 31 in the next World Cup. It's not impossible to play in 2022 World Cup, either. He would be 35. Maradona was 34 in USA....
One observation from Argentina's playing: They didn't try ANY long distance shots in this tournament. Not even regular shots just outside 20...
You didn't get the joke, did you? I can see that you are flirting with intelligence but getting the cold shoulder in return....you're not quite...
Thanks cigar city. Yeah I will be around.

Hey alchemist... yes you bozo... this is for you. This is how many times they scored. [img]
