I dislike this 24 teams instead of 16. This leads tp park the bus tactics and makes the group stage pointless. Tomorrows Germany match will be like England vs Slovakia.
I really hope they change it back to 16 teams next cup.
If it were Di Maria Messi never would receive that pass back to score the 3-0. He would just have shot it into orbit.
Mostly in Argentina the players dont get him. Messi thinks so much quicker and further ahead than anyone. You often see them not making a run, not passing the ball back to him...
Bossing the game easily. Im confused about the 54 goals thing, thought Batistuta had 56.
Tournament is set up for Messi and Argentina to finally win something with him as mvp and topscorer.
Of course Arda is quality, the guy has skills, just way too comfortable and lacking motivation since joining us.
Im hoping a solid pre season after this humiliation will lead to him upping his game and get back to his Atletico level.
Its as disgracefull as argentines booing Messi imo.
It doesnt matte if he isnt on this level. Inwould have found it disgracefull had ghey singled out any other player and bood him to be honest.
Encourage him. Betraying your goat player by booing him certainly wont make him play better.
Imagine Spanish fabs pulling that on Iniesta. Disgracefull stuff
Disgracefull from the Turkish fans. Sure he is walking around like Messi on his worst day bit he is still their goat player and they are scapegoating him for no reason. Feel sad for the guy.
I despise Italy. They always play like shit yet win. All their matches are boring and their fans think its awesome. Luckily Serie A bar Juve died so we dont get to see this Chelsea football dominate the world.
Same with many big athletes or even singers/actors. Michael Jordan was a total cunt on and off the court yet had this perceived squeeky clean angel image. Pr and marketing takes care of that. Protecting their brand.
