You do realise that he's the primary reason why they are struggling to qualify in what should have been a pretty much guaranteed qualify?

Why though? What's he doing wrong? (I'm not that familiar with their situation)

I do wonder why they gave him the job now since he doesn't have anything like the required experience. An absolute genius as a player but he has no track record at all as a manager. Too hot-headed aswell if you ask me.

TBH, despite their crap form I'm starting to get tempted by the price and Argentina. 2-1 like. Over 2.5 goals at evens looks like free money as well

at evens you say

sounds like free money to me

78 players in 11 games and last week he played 3 defenders and 7 midfielders at home in a game they had to win and somehow made it look like a 442

would love to see the Argies get through.

Think it's a nailed on draw.

And add that he picked 78 players and still Riquelme and Walter Samuel were not picked! Two 36 year olds on the pitch at the end of the game. One making his debut and Martin "The Seal" Palermo who had not played in 10 years for them

he cant pick Riquelme because maradona had a fallen out with him

Riquelme is their Fabregas imo

And the other 65 odd players?

Had veron on the pitch a few weeks ago too.

Unlike ireland Agries have 2 proper world class players for every position, their wiki page for the squad takes about 5 minutes to load ffs :eek::D

That was my point, his chaotic style of management is needlessly preventing them from playing the player who used to make them tick

He's a legend, just a completely and utterly sh-te manager.

Should be a cracker tonight though

I put a few streams in the links thread for anyone whos interested. The sopcast link is from 'Dazzler', usually one of the best ive seen online.

CCTV 5 is about the best for this, their build is stunning (except for the nickelback music).

dreamers75

2244: Uruguay v Argentina line-ups:
Uruguay: Muslera, Lugano, Caceres, Gargano, Scotti, Suarez, Forlan, Alvaro Pereira, Perez, Maximiliano Pereira, Rodriguez.


Argentina:
Romero,
Demichelis, Schiavi, Otamendi, Heinze,
Di Maria, Veron, Mascherano, Gutierrez.
Higuain, Messi,

my guess

What Headshot said. Click on the match betting tab and there should be a small blue television logo. Click on that and it will take you to betfair video. You do need money in your account to watch it though. The reason that whenever using Betfair you should always leave a cent in your account

mayordenis

have like 11 cent in it - but seems to be be blocked on the work network - thanks anyway though

That's some view of the stadium!! It looks like you could just sit on the road up the hill and you'd see everything.

MagicMarker

jaysus this is brilliant!

drkpower

This match is already mad.

Is Chile-Ecuador on at the same time?

Aidric

The first four mins has been better than the whole Ireland game.

MagicMarker

lol, did I hear that right? Argentina only do afternoon training sessions because Maradona doesn't like to get up early?

There are also another two stadiums almost literally across the road belonging to lower league teams so if you're standing on the top tier you could get 2 or 3 matches for the price of 1!

That's some team selection by Maradona...

Reginald P. DuM

Can only get a stream in Chinese. The World Cup wouldn't be the same without Argentina, or Maradona. Come on the Argies!!

Headshot

bar the first 5mins it has been a poor game I think

not enough of free flowing play and the pitch looks dreadful

MisterAnarchy

Absolutely dreadful 45 minutes of football.
Not even one half decent chance or shot on goal .Brutal

Frisbee

Argentina really do look absolutely awful and bereft of any spark.
Messi hasn't been in it aside from one or two decent moments.

A WC just wouldn't be the same without them at it but judging by this performance and the one at the weekend they don't deserve to be there...

Rekop dog

Chile 1-0

Reginald P. DuM

What does that Chile score mean for this? Uruguay are handling the Agrentina attack with ease. A bit of magic Mr Messi if you please.

I have the Chinks muted so can't hear the ref. Is it just me or is he slightly biased toward Argentina. Far be it from me to suggest that FIFA are paying him a fortune to make sure they get to SA...

Super-Rush

A few wicked tackles going in but otherwise boring as hell.
