    Exactly what I was thinking. Extra good if it's mud, hahha.
    Remember the march against Uruguay when Palermo scores the last minute goal?

    I wouldn’t be so sure. Still have two more years to go. He’ll be what.. 38?

    I have a feeling he’ll be dropped by then, but who knows

    Comical passage of play. Players unable to dribble the ball and a rebound that almost results in a goal for Venezuela. The numpties who gave the go ahead for the match should have waited another hour to get more moisture out of the top surface.

    He needs dropping now Loco. Because he is making mistakes but more that the younger CBs need competitive experience at this level. I'm getting concerned with Lionel S.

    Pezzella does have a history of performing in the rain.. remember when he played a superclasico as a centerfoward and found a dramatic late draw? Lol

    My stream is so backed up. I’m having flashbacks from mid to early 2000s having to resort to stream matches.

    What happened to the good old days of Yankee Doodles? @locoxriver

    Yawn. Another Venezuelan player faking injury. Nice of the useless referee to stop it when we are on the attack. It's not a head injury. You play on referee.

    Absolutely, right there with you. He should have been dropped a year ago… after Copa America at the latest.

    But I just think Scaloni will have common sense by 2026. I’d be more worried if the WC was this coming summer

    We’ll see

    There’s no way you can judge anyone in this game. This is a farce.

    No card for Rincon with a clear no attempt to play the ball but the player. This referee needs to go back to referee school.

    Pezzella has been fire for River since returning. (Yeah yeah, I know.. setting myself up for a SupaMario comment)

    Not saying that he should be going to the WC by any means, but those of us who have been watching him every weekend know how solid he has been. Very impressive level tbh, much better than what I had been seeing from him in the NT in recent years

    Martinez is a nasty piece of work. That should have been his second yellow and off the pitch.

    Lucky escape there. Non existent tracking again of the run. We are suspiciously poor at set piece defence.

    Great throw by Rulli. Perfect placed passed to the advertisement.

    Come on, that’s Serie Ass.. anyone is a star there. If you have your European passport Mario I think I can get you a deal with Lazio

    Plus Biglia impressing is kinda a long shot.. he did acceptable, at best

    But yeah, not necessarily pushing for Pezzella on the NT, just pleasantly surprised with his level. He completely changed our entire defense (it’s like the Argentina NT defense before and after Cuti, but on a different level of course)

    Quite true. Retegui currently looks like a prime Vieri.

    Beautiful display of passing and teamwork. I have not seen a better half in my life.

    Hopefully they get the giant squeegee on to take some more moisture out of the pitch. It's been truly comical at times.
