World Cup LD

I fuckin' miss Robot Wars.

 

[Blade]

So. Argentina. Will they finally reach their potential?

 

[Loveless]

Too early to tell yet. Theyre busy but arent quite clicking. Typically though, the defence...

 

[Loveless]

For all their pretty football, Argentina have created nothing. Bosnia have had more chances by being direct.

 

[Alastor]

Messi seems out of sorts, yet still able to get 3 men on him almost all the time.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Yeh, for all the pace in the Argentina team they have looked really lethargic and unimaginative. Bosnia have given a good account of themselves so far.

The 2 things aren't unrelated. They've never allowed him to even get started. Argentina need to be quicker on the ball.

To an extent. Messi was not trying hard off the ball to create space. Maybe he is conserving his energy for the 2nd half.

 

[Барбоса]

Better side is losing.

The movement of the whole team has been lazy to be honest. They just kind of amble around until they get the ball, then they run. Dzeko has be been the same, it's been like watching Berbatov at times.

 

[Alastor]

East European players should adopt nicknames as their professional names like Brazilians for marketing purposes. I can't spell or pronounce half of their names.

 

[Loveless]

Argentina seem to have gone narrow. That's not going to help create the space they need.

 

[Alastor]

I like this Argentina coach's throwing caution to the wind. Attacking subs even while leading to inject on urgency to his team. Might be crazy but great for us watching lol

 

[Alastor]

Aguero's miss

 

[Loveless]

Feels like this game is waking up.

 

[Alastor]

Probably due to Bosnia realizing they are trailing and can't keep defending from deep for the whole 2nd half.

 

[Loveless]

Maybe not.

Argentina's tactics seem to be "Get the ball to Messi, then everybody move, slowly" Lazy to say the least

 

[Alastor]

MESSI!!!!! What a goal.

 

[Loveless]

Probably due to Bosnia realizing they are trailing and can't keep defending from deep for the whole 2nd half.

To be honest Id almost forgotten Bosnia were losing.

2-0 Argentina. Completely undeserved.

 

[Alastor]

So the tactic of 'get the ball to Messi' finally worked after like the 20th attempt in this game. But boy did it work.

 

[Tastycles]

Right, well if Messi does that 4 more times this tournament, I won't have to listen to people say 'but he's never done it at a World Cup' any more.

 

[Alastor]

Messi + Aguero + Di Maria + Higuain = WTF do I do as a defence.

 

[Alastor]

Right, well if Messi does that 4 more times this tournament, I won't have to listen to people say 'but he's never done it at a World Cup' any more.

There's still Ronaldo

 

[Loveless]

Well it took Argentina 60 minutes to get their tactics right & they've been dominant since. "Screw the width, we'll just run through them" It wont work against better teams.

 

[Барбоса]

This game ain't over yet
