People copare this geezer Messi to Maradona. Maradona used to scrap all game- put tackles in, take fouls for the team constantly. Messi's a totally different player. Not a leader.

In terms of talent he's up there up Maradona. In terms of inspiring his team and exerting influence in a tight game Maradona is leagues ahead.

I called him out on being poo during their first game!

 

[PhilM]

Messi a wannabe ?

Come on mate, stop it. I’m in agreement he’s far from the player he once was, but let’s not get carried away.

He'd still walk into most teams, but he's past his best and isn't a player Argentina should be relying on.

Which part was the 10 minutes of football? I missed it

Probably while you were topping up your bud light and nachos.

Maradona loved the fighting side of things, granted different time now, but There's not 1% of that in Messi. For better or worse.

He's Maradona without the snide [ or the passing ability frankly ]

I just found out who De Paul is dating, going to give him a pass for giving up on the football.

Argentina is gonna win this if mexico tries 10 men back the rest of the match

 

[TheBigIguana]

I think they just need a proper left winger because Acuna by himself isn't a threat

 

[evilwebby]

Messi is picking up the ball 30 yds in his own half. Not gonna do anything from there

 

[GoldenToffee]

Argentina really missing prime Aguero here. Just think as well, he only joined Barca around 18 months ago, played a few times, got diagnosed with a heart problem, and immediately retired. I know he's 34, but he could have made an impact still if it wasn't for his unfortunate diagnosis. Great player.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I want mexico out. Horrible turgid negative tripe

 

[PhilM]

I want mexico out. Horrible turgid negative tripe

I want them to knock Argentina out first.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

I want mexico out. Horrible turgid negative tripe

Think they are going to oblige sooner rather than later, can't see where their goals come from.

It's gonna have to be a world beating cross to find those two short attackers vs 3 big Mexican CB's, and the fact every cross is telegrammed in...
