On this day in 2008, Ángel Di María scored for Argentina vs. Nigeria in the Olympic gold medal match. The player for any final. 🏅🇦🇷pic.twitter.com/gUsmnDOcAH— Roy Nemer (@RoyNemer) August 23, 2024
That 2008 Olympics squad would have beaten most senior teams at the time. They won all games while being managed by Batista. That pass from Messi was like Maradona pass to Burruchaga.
I think Scaloni could've won World Cups with the 1998, 2002 and 2006 teams. So much talent wasted those years. Our U-20 teams kept spitting out crazy amount of talent and winning Youth World Cups, but the senior teams were being managed by donkeys.

Try 6-1 lost to Bolivia. Worst game I've seen since following the team in 90s. The 2010 QF also had one of most ridiculous line up. 5 attackers with no proper midfielders and Otamendi playing in wrong side of tge pitch.
I'll let you guys read and dissect this as you please. I had to laugh at it. Especially with his opinion about Aimar. These Spanish Madrista's are really something. What did spain accomplish by 2002? https://imgur.com/a/1BurX0F
They won three EUROs and a WC in the last 16 years, which makes them the most successful NT this century. On another note, happy birthday at 62 to Jorge Burruchaga, scorer of Argentina's winner in the 1986 World Cup final. I doubt anyone who watched that goal live will forget it!
