2022 World Cup Qatar: Round of 16 - Argentina vs. Australia

In what world does Papu bench lautaro, Correa and Dybala. Just no scalbroni

 

That little troll, Papu is going to pop out of his little cave. But I guess, he’s playing in a different position than the first match. But focus is the key here.

 

I don't know, doesn't seem to be the best idea to send an old garden gnome against giants. He might get bodied out there before doing any of his circus tricks.

 

Flashbacks with Papu starting against a minnow…

 

WTF……not worried for this match. However, if this is how Scaloni thinks and will act in our next matches, we are doomed.

 

Mad from Lionel S. Hasn't learnt anything which is concerning.

Just imagine we had Garnacho available. Never mind.

I also hope we have been practicing defending set pieces and attacking ones. We've looked sketchy defending these and it's something that can gain 'weaker' sides an equal footing. And offensively we've not scored any cheap goals either.

Hope Leo has been practicing his free kicks. And the whole squad penalties should they be needed. All eventualities need covering.

 

Very scary decisions from Scaloni but I cannot question him.

 

You can always question a coach when he has better options. I'm still irritated we did not bring Garnacho. Imagine him in the last ten minutes of games, Messi clipping a pass over to him.

 

Dybala treated like a training cone lmao

 

I hope he gets some decent playing time. We may well need him at some point. Angel Correa too. The guy is clutch under pressure.

 

If this was Papu from one year ago then maybe... Maybe. But not current version scoring zero goals at Sevilla where he was very bad with not even any glimpse of his former self and understandbly, the man is 35 that's retirement for many attackers. Iniesta was 34 when he left to Japan.

We just can't afford for this backfire, last thing we want to see is a close game.

 

Fellas, fellas, let’s all take a moment to breathe. We will take care of business and move forward. Upsets in the KO stages never really happen, unless there is blatant corruption going on, I.e. 2002 with South Korea.

Take a breather and enjoy the match.

 

I never enjoy these SM. Not until it's done and dusted and we are through. Vamos Argentina. Do the basics right and don't give them a sniff. Our defence is the tightest in this Mundial but it's not really been tested.

 

Why has Lisandro fallen out of favor?! We have yet to concede when he starts

 

As cabala, i will post the pic of where we are, as i did with Mexico and Polonia (didnt with saudi arabia). I only have two cabalas: posting pic here and always watching the game in a different place, except at home (we lost when i watched at home)


Today, another giant screen in a different square. Not as hot thankfully (around 27c)

 

Sad to learn that the Aussies have brought in Keanu Baccus just to do a hatchet job on Messi

I hope the ref is strong enough tonight

 

The camera zoomed in Enzo’s face/ Lol You wanna get any closer?

 

Enzo looks prepared. Come on pibe. Dazzle us all again.

VAMOS ARGENTINA CARAJO.

 

Come on Argentina

 

yeah as usual a bit nervous, lol papu instead of Dybala makes me a bit more nervous

 

Why Papu?

 

Uhhh. That’s a handball.

 

WTF is happening with VAR !!?
