[ATF487]

Great goal, not sure if I've ever seen a chest pass + strike like that before

 

[K1LLER7]

Dat Goal!!!!!

 

[Barbacoatl]

Pretty sweet goal.

 

[Blackhead]

Well deserved goal. That was coming.

 

[yellow submarine]

Old man Zanetti showing everyone that he's still got it

 

[rodvik]

Booooo!!!!! Come on Boliva, give us one more goal!

 

[Lonely1]

Aguero >>> Messi&Tevez.

 

[K1LLER7]

aguero changing the game, why didn't he start?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Agüero is badarse.

¡Aguante Bolivia!

 

[yellow submarine]

aguero changing the game, why didn't he start?

He really should have started. His transfer fee just went up too I think ^.^

 

[MPW]

Dat Goal!!!!!

looks like real madrid will need to sign him after all

 

[Yurt]

He really should have started. His transfer fee just went up too I think ^.^

Don't say that

 

[Regulus Tera]

Carlos Arias for man of the match.

 

[yellow submarine]

What a dive from Mascherano. fuckingdisgrace.gif

Why isn't the ref carding such blatant diving?

 

[MPW]

messi - international tourney? not interested!

 

[jett]

kun aguero saved argentina from shame and messi continues to be useless on his national team. bolivia did great though.

 

[Verano]

Marcelo Martins is a choke...he went one on one with the argie GK and failed to shoot.
Dumbass.

 

[rodvik]

Bolivia, we salute you. Great courage. It could have been 2-1 but a draw is a really good result.

Can we sign their keeper?*

*Aston Villa

 

[K1LLER7]

copa america > Brazil

 

[SamuraiX-]

Holy shit.

I was out for the first 75 minutes of the match. Came back just to see Argentina strike the equalizer. Was shocked to see it was 1-0 Bolivia before that though. lol

What happened? Bolivia played great D or Argentina screwed up their chances on offense?

 

[panama chief]

The best Argentina can do is tie Bolivia???

Hahahahhahahahaha hahahhahahahahahahahah

Think real madrid want entire bolivia team just to stop messi

 

[Regulus Tera]

fyi Bolivia lost 1-0 in a friendly against Mexico u-22 (the one that messed with the prostitutes) last week.

lol , nice one.

if only argentina could borrow xavi and iniesta

 

[Regulus Tera]

if only argentina could borrow xavi and iniesta

Or Messi could play for the Catalonia football team.

A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.

Boliva hunkered down at the very end but for most of the match they really played a decent wide game. 5 shots on goal versus Argentina's 7 so it wasnt a one way game at all.
Their defence was just happy to go at Messi and Argentina's attack and get the ball off them. Which they did rather well.

Kinda amazing actually.

 

[Altazor]

LOL Martins, you goddamned choker.

Kudos to Bolivia, though. I never thought they'd be able to manage a tie against an absolutely superior (on paper) Argentina. Hell, they could've won this one.

Again, LOL Martins.

Spoiler

and yes, Agüero's goal was a thing of beauty

 

[KidA Seven]

Not sure why Aguero didn't start. Also, Messi is playing far too deep.


This same Bolivian team lost to Mexico's u22 team.

perfect

 

[KidA Seven]

Also, Mascherano is a piece of shit diver.

 

[K1LLER7]

imo, starting levezzi (if thats his name) ahead of aguero/higuain was kind of wierd given their quality. The team Argentina had on towards the end was probably their best.

Oh and their defence sucks

 

[MPW]

Also, Mascherano is a piece of shit diver.

barca player? diving? NO WAI!

messi playing deep is fine, that was not the problem.

 

[KidA Seven]

messi playing deep is fine, that was not the problem.

I think it was. He's essentially being asked to play his role for Barca but dropping down deeper. It's not allowing him to deliver goals. Reminds me of the way Maradona used him. I still think he had a great game. I just think Argentina would benefit from him not dropping so deep.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Checho is saying in the press conference the team played vertically and not to the sides because he doesn't want to play like Barcelona.


Uh, didn't he say a few months ago that he wants to play like Barcelona and that Barcelona played like the Argentina of yore?

 

[Bulzeeb]

Awesome OP.
Go Colombia!

Spoiler

hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

my thoughts exactly =/ anyways I was hoping for Bolivia to win but a draw is still good in my book, yeah I like to root for the underdog

 

[Regulus Tera]

ololol Messi

“Fue un gol raro, de mierda, y se hizo más complicado el partido”, expresó Lionel al salir de los vestidores en el Estadio Ciudad de la Plata, cargando el trofeo como mejor jugador del partido, mismo que recibió con cierta inconformidad

"It was a strange goal, shitty, and that complicated the match more", said Lionel when coming out of the locker rooms of stadium Ciudad de la Plata, carrying the trophy for most valuable player, which he received begrudgingly."

Do they teach this attitude at La Masia too?

 

[dschalter]

ololol Messi

he sounds like a slightly more vulgar xavi.

Of course everyone will be talking about how bad Argentina played, but Bolivia put on a damn fine performance. It also not like they put eleven men behind the ball for ninety minutes, they tried keeping possession when they could and even made some nice plays but their finishing is terrible.

Honestly Argentina was incredibly disjointed, there was no cohesion between the defense, midfield, or the offense. The defense is also a joke, there were shaky even with the smallest amount of pressure. They also can't defend a counterattack to save their life. Should be interesting if they face someone like Cavani or Sanchez in the later rounds.

I like Lavezzi, but it still was a WTF choice over Kun. Di Maria also needs to be a starter.

PS: Bolivia also gave me a little hope that the Mexican team can at least make a decent performance in the tourney.

8 of the players from the u22 squad is out. Not the same team that beat Bolivia. It's now a u20 team with 5 overage players. I hope for the best, but I'm expecting the worst.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Bolivia also complicated the race for the third places with this result.

 

[neoanarch]

Messi didn't touch the ball for almost 15 minutes after HT. Kind of amazing.

Defenders in Spain are shit. Barcelona in South America would still be champions, but they wouldn't win by huge margins the way they do over there.

this is the same bolivia team that got pwned by Mexico with score of 1-0

Idk i thought he played great tonight.
