Does anyone else think Argentina is having way too much luck in this tournament?
They're not playing that good, but Messi is making the difference for them time and time again.
That's what happens when you have the best player in the world on your team.
The thing is, he's not playing that great, either. I don't know, something's strange about this Argentina side.
Agreed.
Argentina don't look like WC winners to me. Weak at the back and in goal. Midfield doesn't link the game together. 4-5 guys attack and 4-5 guys defend. Not enough teamwork. Two separate teams inside a team. Attackers and defenders. Not enough togetherness.
Yeah, that could be it. They rely too much on moments of indivdual brilliance, and getting away with it. I mean, I've criticized Brazil for relying too much on Neymar, but at least they play like a cohesive team.
Surely this run can't last for another 4 games?
It could well last another four games. With so many big teams going out early this is the most open tournament in a very long time. They are most likely to come undone against a major European team such as Germany, France or the Netherlands.
well they won't play one of them until round two when they face Germany (because you know the US is going to beat Germany and win the group)
