When I first learned that di Maria would miss the final.... My thought was good riddance because in my opinion he always let Leo down with stupid selfish shots and stuff......
But as I think further.... Damn the injury crisis for Argentina!
Di Maria should play in the midfield replacing Augusto Fernandez and run his ass off. The role he used to play for Madrid under Ancelotti...Lamela should start on the wing...
He can't run his ass off right after coming back from an injury. It is better that Martino starts with Lamela. Not worth it ruin a sub, in the case Di Maria injury comes back again.
Yeah. It will be better Di Maria on the bench and used as trump card in the latter stages of the game (if necessary), than in starting lineup and possible early injury, which will cost 1 sub!
Argentina has been failing Messi for a decade. Poor managers, poor players. Last WC he was great but there's only so much you can donon your own even if you're best of all time.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
