VILLAMARV Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Kind of set up perfectly right now. Croatia have been closing down like crazy all game. Mandzukic and co have got to tire a bit at some point. Argentinians are getting a little more time on the ball at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina’s set up is just odd given the attacking talent they have. Just for clarity, I mean in terms of how they're playing. Really sloppy, basic mistakes all over the pitch. Their quality is undeniable, but their performances tonight? Pretty poor, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Pavon is a nothing player. Di Maria, Dybala, Lo Celso, Banega would all do so much better than what's out there. How they left Perotti at home and took the likes of Meza and Acuna I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I needed to win a match and had to choose between Messi and Ronaldo, I'd pick Ronaldo. Ronaldo can play a lot of different roles, where Messi relies on quality around him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
