    merging the gold cup and the copa america

    Climate considerations. And it is a very old competition which deserves equal treatment with the other continental championships. Merging the two competitions is interesting because at present the Copa America offers invites even to teams outside of CONMEBOL. The USA competed in 2007 and were...

    It is a calculated risk to bring Tevez back. Will he be faithful or maintain his troublesome ways ? The problem is a lack of a mature striker to replace/complement Higuain/Aguero who both have seen their confidence in the international arena reduced. One could argue Tevez in his current form...

    Considering your knowledge of Argentine coaches and football is minimal as well please refrain from posting in this thread. If you want to practice some real rhetoric and mathematical logic please feel free. I am a fan of Spain but love to butt into the Argentina thread to post ill informed...

    Argentina

    Then kindly refrain from posting in here. This is not the Lionel Messi fanclub thread but the Argentina thread and for it's dedicated followers. Most of whom have been through thin and thin. If anyone can be blamed you can blame Messi for missing a chance in the final he normally tucks away...

    Argentina

    Beating anyone in even in a friendly does count and we were missing several players too Zanela. I'm rather miffed we lost to our old rivals who are nothing special at all. He certainly needs to retain the defensive solidity and organization Sabella instilled. The midfield was far too open and...

    He is far from a mediocre coach. And as to the bolded statement. That is laughable. One game ago he is the messiah. Now he is a pariah. Fickleness is the watchword of the majority of all football fans today.

    Argentina

    Firstly that match should not have been played. It is detrimental to the health of the athletes. As to the match Martino played into Dungbeetles hands. Dunga is not a revolutionary coach. He is the same trusted and tried formula that Brazil have gone back to in order to try and shore up their...

    Argentina

    From Martino's initial pronouncements it looks like he will retain the same squad initially with Messi still as captain. I am sure as the season progresses he will bleed in some of the very talented crop of kids coming through before reverting to the same core of players for the Copa with one or...

    Martino. Presumed to be a contract until 2018. Tata demanding complete control over the u20 and u17 and the appointments of coaches which makes sense. Excellent coach. Heinze to be his deputy with the Newells connection. Jorge Theiler who has coached the u15 side before is favoured by Martino...

    Rugby Championship starts again this week. Argentina to have a franchise in a new expanded Super17 in 2016. About time as well. There is a real dilemma in the number of matches players like Bosch who has been superb at Saracens have to play all year round. Hourcade will be bleeding in some of...

    Yes. Enormous potential. One of the best defenders in La Liga last season. Still young. Martino will no doubt have him in the seleccion before long.

    Do they clap their hands often ? :p Leo should be resting not playing in another testimonial. A good long rest of four to five months is what I prescribe.

    For the same price a better player with more potential and less concerns over fitness like Musacchio would have been preferable. Questionable purchase.

    Me too my brother. They have to be as they were. Cool, calm and collected. Disciplined. We need to get the midfield secured and be ever so wary of set pieces. And if we can do that, get in the tackles, make the most of the chances that come our way we can do it. It will be hard but this is a...
