Players Of The Future?

With how the modern game is being played with all these vertical transitions and counter pressing, I think they are good squad players to have and should be used in certain situations, but yeah, they've been given more importance by Scaloni than is needed. Scaloni values physicality which is great, but there needs to be a balance.

 

Scaloni also rates camaraderie more than anything... or at least more important than it should be at this point.

 

This doesn't feel right

Perfect pic to caps off his bloopers hightlights

 

If you beat Argentina, Brazil, France and Spain to win a football tournament, at any level, yiu deserve it. Well done to Morocco

 

The team was embarrassing on and off the pitch as they got closer to the final

Not sure what placente was doing with them and what his brain was thinking going into the final
Clearly the morocco coach was miles ahead of him mentally and ability wise

VIllaba and Barbi are a disgrace

 

This isnt true at all. They played very good against Mexico and Columbia. Especially the defence.

Anyway on to the U17.

 

We are so spoiled. Thank you River.

Anyone watching the u17s? 1-1 at half time vs Belgium. Not many chances for either side so fair result so far. Very early to judge but after 45 mins I’d say we have a good team with not a standout player. I like the look of our left back, Escobar from Velez. De Martis up front looks like another Gaich, slow and clumsy who will get found out easily at senior level. Belgium have 2-3 players with good technical quality and speed up top,

 

Disagree. Gaich has nothing on De Martis who's fast, powerful and isnt bambi when the ball is at his feet. De Martis has a lot of potential.

 

Let’s hope you’re right and he proves med wrong going forward gladly take a goal or two from him in the 2nd half!

 

2-1 Belgium. We’ve been the better team all 2nd half but not much of a threat - again, no real individual quality showing in the last third.

 

These defenders are abysmal. Even in the South American u17 they were bad.

Unsure why Mattar isnt starting. Parmo, Barido not called up just doesn't make any sense.

 

Vamos 2-2. Substitute Jainikoski after great speed shown by Bouhier. Goal made at Argentinos Juniors.

 

For what its worth, this Belgium team is supposed to be one of the best teams at the tournament. Players like De Cat and Mokio are regarded as some of the best in Europe.

 

3-2 Esquivel fantastic hit

 

None of those in the squad

 

I think they heard you mate

 

Those 2 subs from Argentinos made a real difference. Especially that run from Bouhier leading to 2-2 was quite something. De Martis off and the attacks is flowing (just kidding

 

Yea I just read they won't be released till the knockout stages. Shame, would've been a nice litmus test for some of the pibes.

 

Im really high on him he impressed me a lot last tournament but bad game from him. With Felipe and maybe Mattar starting next game hopefully he will get service.

Good first win against the toughest opponent in the group. That defence scares me though.

 

Facundo Jainikoski scored in both games for Argentina's U-17. The U-17 beat Tunisia and Belgium. The team will close group play against. . . Fijji? We will most likely finish top or our group, but won't know who we play in the knockout stage because the seeds are ranked. Let's see.
