Argentina vs. Korea Republic Post Match Thread (R)

lol that was like our commentator - "Messi awesome pass, Higuain and goal!!! ..." while Messi made a regular easy air ball and Aguero made an awesome pass from quite difficult position. But Aguero was not even mentioned

Higuain plays "olic" in this WC. Not doing much but he positions himself good and finishes nice

Messi is playing subpar for now.

 

Allow me to reiterate from the PBP thread.

None of the goals were offside.

 

Easy game. Easy win.

 

You could actually hear the Argentine supporters here and there, over the vuvuzellas. That was refreshing.

 

Its simply unbelievable that Messi still has no goals after 2 matches like that.

 

Crazy or crazy like a fox?

 

none of argy's goals is ofside, i'm sure wach replay

i'm just piss we didn't score 2d goal, we had open shot

congrats

 

Aguero MotM

Much better player on technical level than Tevez.

 

Was a good match Messi, Aguero, and Tevez all looked pretty solid on attack, but they seem fairly weak off the ball and defensively. If they don't clean it up, I supect they will make an early exit in the knockout stages.


Scoreline is somehwat misleading. This was more of a 2-1 win.

 

Tevez and Messi were amazing!! This was such a great game to watch. Props to Korea for just keeping on trying though, despite it being obvious they would lose pretty early on. Sad for Messi that he didn't get a goal, he really deserved it! Argentina v. Germany for the final, I think.

 

Messi's role suits him well. He can't get a goal but he creates plenty for his teammates. And Higuain, well something to be said at being in the right place, Inzaghi made a career of it.

 

the Koreans had a sure goal, they botched it, then the own goal, and the offside goal.

 

Fair play to Maradona for putting on another striker on when they had a 2-1 lead. A lot of coaches would've replaced Tevez with a defensive player. As it were, the Aguero substitution won the game.

 

OFC a player like him will shine when he gets the game and the ball. But the problem imho was that Messi wasn't getting the ball. Ok, he was always very well covered. Good match but he was not Motm imo

 

i think the funniest thing is that everyone came into this world cup and said can messi do it without xavi and iniesta? well now messi has turned into a creator and his thriving, meanwhile xavi and iniesta have no one in the final 1/3 like Messi... hmmm

 

We played well, midfield was solid (thanks to no Veron!)
Attack was very fluent.

Defense doesn't look good. Especially with the loss of Samuel.
