World Cup 2018
Argentina need a serious overhaul and a more solid gameplan if they are gonna want to beat Nigeria. Come on Leo, got keep your head high. At least advance the group stages, I think that will save him from alot of embarassment. -

7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
No use having too much pace if the winger isnt an effective one on terms of decision making, first touch, control. Coutinho operates in the half space and with Alba as LWB, too much width is often not required. Agree some sort of raw pace is required but Coutinho can be equally deadly on the... -

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Looking at this, I simply fail to understand what exactly is the master gameplan here? Some people want Messi in more advanced positions, yet behind him is an old Mascherano with a clueless Perez. No support at the front except for Aguero and another useless Meza. The two wingbacks leaving the... -

I'm sorry, I think I'm putting my bet on Croatia this time round. -

I just don't see Argentina winning this with fcking Meza, not in a million years. This could go either way, possibly very badly. -

Nah, France has been shit so far. Mbappe is also not as instrumental as some would make up to be. -

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
This match is going to be the hardest to predict among all the others. Argentina might very well lose here. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Too many coaches naively think "building a team around Messi" means pass to Messi all the time. And people wonder why these teams constantly fail and ultimately puts the blame on Messi. Opponents just deploy 4-5 men to mark Messi and their job is done. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I didn't specifically mentioned this season, but as a whole in recent years. No doubt he is on a decline, if you are looking at La Liga specifically than of course, it's one of his best output. It's clear he lost some of his pace which affected his little bursts of speed. This season I have said... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I agree. Messi has been walking ever since 2010 but his output/dribbling has dropped in recent years. He really needs to compensate with more movement and play more simple one touch football. That way he can still execute those dangerous moves in more favourable situations than to walk without... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I've mentioned this before. In a 4231, Messi is bascially trapped in the middle, and he is forced to drop very deep. I've always said false 9 is his best position, of course another solution is RW but he still plays centrally. And at least he gets a free fluid 3 men midfield than a static double... -
World Cup 2018
South Americans are definitely lacking alot in terms of mentality, tactics, killer instincts on European stage. They are just competitive among themselves, only team has potential is Brazil but they got screwed over by Divemar. -

Japan are definitely one of my favourite international team, the way they play... just so graceful and classy. They deserve the win. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
You are right he has anxiety issues. The moments when camera pick him up gagging on the pitch- there he is, under tremendous amount of stress. People claimed its the hormones acting up (absolutely BS btw), straightaway I know it's anxiety. I suffer from the same issue at times. Especially under... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I think that penalty miss was what made people so upset with him. It's a massive giveaway and he failed to sealed it. Other than that, I thought he played pretty well but it's pretty obvious the whole team is struggling to break down Iceland. They are a very solid unit and I think many teams...
