El Profesor Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 1 hour ago, SirBalon said: Id be very surprised is Jorge Sampaoli is permitted to continue. He's become a puppet... Some of the clips they've been showing in Italian tv this evening where he's asking players whether or not to make certain substitutions won't help him either. Argentina need a clean out and I'm gonna be controversial... Messi needs to either retire from the NT or they need to let him go so they can suffer the transition properly. Mascherano retired from international football this evening. That's a start. The problem is the clause in his contract that stipulates a compensation of 20 million dollars if Sampaoli is fired before Copa América 2019. In an ideal world, yes, he´d be fired and Marcelo Gallardo would take over. But this is AFA we´re talking about. I´m not sure what will happen.

Because Madrid has the best team in the world and the refs in their pocket, not because of him being good. No solo es mejor, es muchisimo mejor el Pipa que el gordo arabe ese,, siempre lo fue. Tenes que dejar las drogas hijito, te estan haciendo mal. Armani fue el arquero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 @SirBalon Messi stated he has no intentions of retiring and plans to make the 2022 World Cup. Dybala, Martinez, Barco, Pavon, Lo Celso, Paredes, Manmanna, etc. These players are ready and should be introduced regularly. Biggest issue for me, is finding the right system that allows these players to play their game and give Messi a free role. For me personally, Messi isn't the issue. It's Sampaoli.

I think the atmosphere within the dressing room is the issue to be honest. Its no coincidence that Martino, Bauza and Sampaoli have all struggled. As well as shocking decisions from AFA and just a corrupt federation overall. That said, you can't excuse Sampaoli's cowardly lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three managers are complicating the whole team with their bizarre strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Argentina from 2011-2013 was excellent, but when they got to the World Cup they were dreadful until the Belgium game. Demichelis came in and played an excellent world cup after coming in from a very good season at City (ironically the one where he got bashed for that penalty against Barcelona). From there, they were very much a Bilardo team, but it worked and they were a decent side all in all last world cup despite a slow start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t heard about Messi making any official announcement on what he’ll be doing. Not that it may not be true, just that due to my holidays I’m not keeping up with the news on football and just limiting myself to watching the games when possible. Let’s see what happens, but in my view transitions (the good ones) have occured a number of times with controversial decisions that are the jump start for a whole new era.

Putting your tongue down your girlfriend's throat while your at a public event sat next to people where you should show a modem of ethics with the world's media watching all your moves because you're likely to do something odd.... That one isn't normal and I doubt you'd do it. The other one is though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media watching (literally a segment for it where it's publicised). Kissing someone, albeit a bit OTT, isn't that abnormal. At least in comparison to the other stuff (the blatant drug stuff etc).
