Oh how I missed this thread this year...... Once again Argentina play great against the shit teams and get everyones hopes up, then when it matters, fail.... fuck it hurts.

They should have taken Zanetti and Cambiaso to the WC. As much as I hate the team they play for in Italy they could have been used.

A.C. Milan?

A.C. Milan?

They play for inter. I love AC Milan.

[CleanAzzE30z]

I know.... I was guessing you were from A.C. Milan since you said you hate the team they play for.

A lucky draw for Milan today. We did not deserve it, but I'll take it. A win and a draw in the last 2 games and were in to the knock out stage.


We have one of the worst coaches I've seen. Worse tactics and worst line up selections.

I really feel its Chelsea's CL to lose this year.

[delatlanta1281]

Come on Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some pics from my recent trip over to the Meadowlands when the US played Argentina.

Arrived at the field early for a mixer with a decent view


Camera guy in the way


Argentina takes the field


Tried getting a shot of Messi, no luck


Back to the suite


A 1-1 tie for the US is a win in my book. Especially since Messi played almost the entire game.

Next game for the US....Spain!

Argentina losing or tying is always a win for me, mostly against the US! But not to take away from the US, they are far from the national team they were a few years ago. They're still quite a ways away from getting wins against the top tier teams though...

Actually, I think they are closer than many think. The Americans have always had the best athletes in the world, its just a matter of turning them into soccer players. If you look at the number of Americans playing on the national team that also play in European leagues there has clearly been an increase in recent years.

Don't be surprised when the next world cup rolls around and the Americans have success. Not saying that we'll reach the semis or anything, but it's my belief that we will make it out of the group stage every WC going forward with a shot at making the final 8.

Their last few games:

0-1 against Paraguay
1-1 against Argentina (Argentina is overrated and not that great of a team right now)
1-1 against weak Chile
1-0 against South Africa
0-0 against Colombia
2-2 against Poland

WC 2010 they tied England 1-1, tied Slovania 2-2, and beat Algeria 1-0, before going out against Ghana.


hardly the results of a team close to stringing wins against top tier teams.. that's all I'm saying. Oh, and they have Spain coming up in June, a top-tier team, let's stay tuned and see what happens.
