I don't think any other fanbase has such a lenghty history of suffering world cup coach line up screw ups. Batistuta-Crespo, Cruz x Riquelme, Otamendi de 4, Lavezzi subbed off at half-time, false 9 Messi... we can't take anymore bullshit
Poland can still qualify, even if they lose 2-0, and Mexico wins by a single goal. They can even qualify, if they lose by a single goal and Mexico wins by 2. This will put us first and Poland second. We just cannot draw and have the Saudis win. Also we cannot draw and have Mexico win by 4.
I just want us to score early, la scaloneta style Let us score 2 goals on the 1st half and then we can do whatever. But....please we neeed to score!! We never had a problem scoring with this team
They do have Funes Mori, so watch out! I wouldn’t be surprised if the game is high scoring. Both teams are going to go after one another. The game will be open.
why not lisandro? is coz he is short? anyways, hope is CUTI and hes gotta start ENZO, i hope he is bluffing

Scaloni is losing his mind. Enzo is fit in form. Paredes is not. Lisandro is a great jumper. Romero is sharper but still not fit. You can deny Lewandowski by shutting down the midfield and winning it. Please stop doing the drugs Scaloni and going down the same road as the rest of our unfathomable coaches for the last six World Cups. That includes Passarella excluding Redondo in 1998. Bonkers.
Just rewatched Foyth`s performance against UAE. People trolled and wanted him out and i understand that. He was poor, i must admit as a Villarreal fan. I left with the impression that he wasnt match fit and that might explain the reason for his weak performance, but i also think he doesnt suit Scaloni`s style of play. Scaloni likes offensive full backs, and Foyth is simply not the profile type that Scaloni wants. As a Villarreal fan, Foyth has rarely been caught out of position becuase he sits back and does his defending. Very hard to beat him when he is not being told to attack.
Scaloni is still trying to capture that RDP-Paredes-Lo Celso magic. So he's looking at Enzo to replace Paredes which is probably doable as both are not real #5's but can fill that role. Harder for Mac to fill Lo Celso's role.
I hope and wish that we do not start this game in back foot. We need to win to guarantee our progress and the last thing we need is to waste 45-60 mins of the match trying to not conceed a goal. We should attack and try to score from the first second. Scaloni needs to understand that a draw is enough for Poland, so it is extremly likely that they will park the bus from the first minute. We therefore need players who are useful against such team from the get go. This is already our third game in this WC, we shoul start performing players from now on.
See you all tomorrow. Diego, Guillermo, Silvio and company will all be watching.... Have you ever heard the expression the forum member is always right Mr.Scaloni ? I don't want Guido. I want Enzo. And I don't want Pezzella. I want Lisandro.
My christmas wishlist lineup: 4-3-1-2 Romero, Ota, Molina, Acuna, RDP, Paredes, Enzo, Messi, Dybala or Alvarez, Lautaro Switch to 5-3-2 in second with Di Maria and the other usual subs. I am trying to manifest this. I believe this can beat any team.
The biggest problem with the 2014 squad was too much overlap of great players playing the same position. Realistically speaking, you can only play 3 out of Messi, Di Maria, Higuain, Aguero, Tevez and Lavezzi without completely throwing off the balance. The midfield, defence and goalkeeper of the 2022 team is better than 2014.
