Mali probably going to steal late win since our player has been out of steam. This team has nothing other than crosses.
Utter shambles at times. No brains being used. The goal comes from an underhit pass out and another poor pass nearly leads to a second from midfield. We are shooting ourselves in the foot. Gaich is no Crespo. Crespo at 18 was a class act in the making. All these European based players that were left out. Is it because the AFA did not want too many in the team and want to use the u20 to promote domestic based players ? All seems suspicious. Medina over Balerdi and Garay ? You have to be kidding. Garre in midfield would add calmness and poise. Colidio would be on his way to the Golden Boot by now. Awful team to watch and no way near their forebears.
To be fair, the team is very limited. We did perform well in first 2 games especially against Portugal but that's about it. First game was won because we put some great finishing, defensively we've been terrible on first game too. Oh well, another goal... lets hope they can keep it up for remaining minutes. If we do win, that has to be one of ugliest winning goal lol. Those hundreds of crosses finally paid off.
Perhaps they might to keep the ball. Sosa on for Moreno. Sosa played well against Korea. Unlucky to miss out.
Barco is like double edge sword, he scored or created but also denied our own chances going forward on many occassions by keep dribbling on the same spot and diving.
He needs to learn when to give the ball. Dwells on it for too long instead of playing the instant pass or simple pass. Tries too hard. Perhaps he will learn. He needs to otherwise he will that frustrating player who drops in and out of games. Could have played Urzi in but played the ball laterally and gave it away. Urzi and DLP have pressed well. Sosa adds some stability as well.
We have to bust our asses just to barely get a lead and then ********ing gift that to them. San Marino could've scored that goal.
That choking mentallity of the senior side has infected the u20 side aswell. We can expect the same fate in Copa America with the senior side.
Maybe Mali will go all the way to win it, and they're medicore side aswell with nothing outstanding. This team just not good enough as I said, only luck could help them.
He's pretty bad but at the same time how the ******** do you just stand around all on one side of the field and let a guy in all alone off a free kick? Amateur hour.
Batista is a dreadful coach. Most of the players are well below the standard required for the seleccion u20. Zero football IQ and in some cases poor technique. NZ and USA and others are catching up. Our 2005/7 edition would have waltzed past this shower. Saviola and Cavenaghi in the past. Now it's Gaich. Chancalay comes on and gifts them the free kick. They do not even have the brainpower to remain awake. I'm done with this lot.
