    Look on the bright side, at least we won't lose in the final of this tournament.

    Never write out the youth side though, since they've been very successfull in last 2 decades. 5 WYC titles & 2 Olympic golds. They actually started the 2005 WYC with a lost then ended up lifting the thropy.

    As for the senior side, yea.. they'd thrash everyone and then losing the QF or final.

    Nigeria managed to win 5-4 against Japan despite having so many travel/money issues they didn't fly in until a handful of hours before the game. Crazy.

    So did Ascacibar although he did lose a couple of contests as he needs to grow a little in bulk. Soto was great on the ball but defensively shaky. If he could sort that out he might progress as a fullback. Correa and Martinez remember it's a team game. Not about you.

    Today we play Algeria at 5 PM Eastern. They lost to Honduras 3-2 last game. Pretty much a must win for both teams, which means we better score some freakin goals.

    It would have been suuuuch a different story if the original Icardi/Dybala/Lanzini attacking trio was available.. A damn shame

    Not really any closer to scoring. Getting crosses to no one in particular.

    Ascacibar is a real gem. Algerian winkers timewasting already and trying to break up any flow in the game.

    Too rushed, too direct not enough thought from this team.

    The team in the final attack is playing fine at least in the last 5-10 minutes. they are missing that final link. Too many heavy touches and too long on the ball.

    We should have just pulled out of the Olympics like the rumor said. Embarrassing.

    The first card was not even a yellow. It was a joke of a card. Like the pathetic Brazilian fans. 7-1 anyone......:D

    I agree the first one was weak but once you're there it's on you to not give the ref an excuse to give another one.

    Just like Di Maria he does a lot of stupid things and then you get a goal.
