The European based players flew from Europe to BsAs to California to New York back to Argentina and then to Brazil. Why expect anything more from the team during the last two games? What a drag.

i thing we are not showing killer instinct when playing…
mostly the ball will be pass between midfielder and defender…

we desperately need a attacking mid fielder

I’am sick of Riquelme, Abbondanzzieri and Basile, it is an horrible Argentina National Team…! they bored me!

Well, let us hope that Coco can end any squabbling after this match, and everyone can get back on track. A pretty even affair tonight, though I would give the edge to Argentina with the second period performance. Luck was with us that Pato wasn’t flagged for a penalty on his butterfly chasing incident, but other than that he played well enough. I thought Messi looked out of sorts a little and you have to wonder if the press reports were bugging him some. About Gago, if only he could develop some more lateral movement as he nears the opponent’s goal. He is such a “north/south” player on offense if you watch him closely. If he could work on that he could be extremely dangerous.

I think that might just be Gago’s best match for Argentina. The main difference between the first and second halves for me was the fact that he was pushing forward more and exploiting the space in the middle of the field, drawing players away from Riquelme and that really opened things up. I was hugely impressed with Gago today.
