FIFA World Cup 2018: Argentina vs. Nigeria - June 26 [R]

We need Empiro Armarni, Celso, Pavon, Dybala all to start.

 

Ik it's not likely that Sampa will go with my line up but I really hope we go with this line up

------------------------------armani
mercado/salvio--otamendi--fazio--tagliafico
----------------------------mascherano
--------------banega--------------------lo celso
dybala------------------messi----------------pavon

or switch banega off and put in aguero and put him on top

 

Even if they decided to sit back, they're nowhere as organized as Croatia & Iceland . Today, Iceland needed a win just like Nigeria so they played openly unlike against Argentina.

 

Would Sampalobby start Armani, though? He seems to have something personal against Armani, thats the only explanation of why he hasn't started yet.

 

Any decent coach would drop caballero after that mistake. Even Sir alex ferguson dropped de gea at the beginning for making mistakes. The sign has been coming since the first game he started for us and he looked shaky every game. i feel bad for caballero but when the next round is at stake, Sampa must make the sensible decision.

 

Sampalobby obviously has something personal with Armani. He chose Caballero because he "plays well with his feet and gets along well with the group." How'd that turn out?

As Simeone said, Caballero already did this same mistake against Italy, Spain, and Iceland- and earlier in the game against Croatia. It was bound to happen again, and it did.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is the worst coach I've seen in Argentina history.

Don't count on Dybala, Lo Celso, Pavon or Armani... Honestly, I'd say its more likely he brings back Di Maria and Biglia. The guy is clearly more clueless than anyone imagined

 

In 2010 didnt we beat a bunker Nigeria with a diving Heinze header?
Let's do that again.

 

Sampaoli's Argentina makes Maradona's team look like Pep's Barcelona...

 

Yes, Maradona's team had far more talent.

 

Rumors that this could be Argentina's XI vs. Nigeria: Guzman; Mercado, Otamendi, Fazio, Rojo; Mascherano, Biglia, Banega; Messi, Di Maria and Agüero.


Man —— Biglia, Rojo, Di Maria all back. Goalie - Guzman.

 

One last hurrah for Messi and Co. I see...


BTW, what is the source on that?

 

you've got to be kidding me

 

i think this guy is legit

LOL i am at a lost for words. If this is Messi's doing then bye bye you don't deserve a WC. No Lo Celso, Dybala, Armani and no Tagliafico??? Straight up madness. It seems that instead of fighting to the end Messi wants a farewell match with all his buddies

 

tbh this is still much better than the ridiculous 3-5-2 with acuna and salvio
at this point we don't have much better alternative and I am sure the players lost all respect to Sampbaldy. I would put Lo Celso instead of Biglia but that's not gonna happen

 

Scratch that, now saying that Franco Armani will start in goal against Nigeria. Basically it won't be Willy

Some people want to fall on their sword...

 

at least armani might start, but it's like going one step forward 3 steps backwards with the inclusion of biglia, di maria and rojo

 

If you guys look on the AFA twitter page, the video of them practicing shows Guzman doing the drills and Armani watching. Not that it means much, but it might actually be Guzman starting

 

They are saying ARMANI will start on Tuesday! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
