Pretty sure Arg have beaten Chile twice already. Chile do have to go to Brazil though, while Arg-Peru will pretty much be a shoot-out to qualify with a draw suiting no-one!

PaulC Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Chile have Ecuador and Brazil away so the first one is a must win game otherwise I think they go out. Fancy argentina to pick up at least 4 pts from their two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Argentina havent won in 3 and have 16 goals in 16 games. This is a forward line that has had available in this campaign Messi, Higuain, Aguero, Dybala, Tevez, Icardi that is pathetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 They never seem able to assemble a decent squad, got several stars but always have 3/4 weaknesses they only named 5 defenders in the last squad, 3 of them have 7 caps combined, they named 7 strikers...and that's with pastore and di Maria classed as midfielders, they played 3-4-3 and in that midfield 4 was dybala and Messi, Romero still plays in goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile in real bother too. Just as I type that Icardi scores with pretty much the first touch he's had all night! Icardi was doing his best Higuain impression last night. Scorer of 20 + goals in Seria A with his eyes closed but constantly just failing to touch in crosses. A nearly game for him especially as he had his goal chalked off as an OG. No idea what's going on with Argentina. They have some brilliant individual players but just can't connect as a team. Didn't really understand Sampaoli's thinking later on in the game either. Took off Dybala and Icardi and put on Bendentto and Acosta so finished the game with those two upfront and Pastore hopelessly overhitting balls towards them. Aguero was an unused sub. They'll still scrape in. Let's be honest New Zealand in a play off is a total bye to the finals. Edited September 6, 2017 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Pulisic was great, should be the best footballer America has ever produced considering he's already at Dortmund and will probably get signed by another elite club in the next 2-3 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they were robbed, Paul. Ghana look a shadow of their former selves though and don't select any of their best players. Kwadwo Asamoah, KP Boateng, Asamoah Gyan, both Ayews, and Abdul Rahman Baba should all still be contributing to this team, but for a variety of reasons weren't in the matchday squad.
