World Cup Qualifiers | October 2017 | Play off draw on Tuesday

what happened to Paredes? I saw a graphic earlier showing him in midfield.
Sampaoli changed his mind last minute.

I can't wait to see Biglia dwell on the ball for 5 minutes before inevitably backpassing it to Otamendi.

Only a loss is a disaster for Argentina, if they draw they should still be fine so maybe Sampaoli prefered to play it safe and replace Paredes with a more defensive player.

He'll probably change it again if Argentina are chasing a goal
 
Waiting on Argentina, hope the cnuts win, a world cup without them wouldnt be the same and i have a soft spot for that country.

Yes - but I would like it if Peru would make the World Cup, too.
 
That was a murderous challenge on Penu by Biglia. Lucky to not get a red.
 
Di Maria is makes me want to smash my screen.
 
Di Maria surely is one of the most inconsistent player I've seen in my life, that guy made so many awful crosses and shots everytime I see him playing
 
Argentinia is really playing nothing special.

Option A: Pass to Di Maria -> cross to the keeper.
Option B: Pass to Messi -> Dribbling

They will score and win, because of Option B. But i wouldn't miss them in the World Cup.
 
Argentina are getting a few decisions going their way. The fans are doing their part here, haven't stopped singing since the game started
 
Papu has been great. He's done more in this game already than Dybala in the last 2
 
Peru are giving Messi too much space between the lines. If he gets the ball there and starts running directly at the defenders then there are problems. They've been lucky to get away with it so far
 
They need to get Benedetto out of there. Icardi is one of the best strikers in the world and he's on the bench for this clown?

If Argentina drew, wouldn't overtake Peru because of a worse GD so Argentina desperately need to win or it might not be enough a victory against Ecuador next game
 
Eugenio Mena... worst 45 minutes I've seen in my life. Failed to secure the 2-0... total lack of class.

Despite him, Chile 1-0 up at HT. Valdivia the best, as usual... why he wasn't playing before, who knows.

Also, the pitch, again watered before the game, same as Paraguay (0-3 defeat), all the players falling down. It obviously benefit the direct counter game from Ecuador, not the technical passing game from Chile. Both teams having chances.

Hopefully the 2-0 comes quickly... 1-0 not enough and way too dangerous.
 
Vargas has surpassed Zamorano. He's now the 3rd best goalscorer in Chile's history with 35 goals. Only Alexis (38) and Marcelo Salas (37) have more.

Peru have a tough game against Colombia (especially if Colombia don't win today) and Chile will go to Brazil so Argentina would still be favourites. A draw isn't a complete disaster

Yes as long as Colombia don´t win today and qualify. Then Argentina really depend on Brazil and Colombia to give a f*** with nothing to play for.
 
Gago :(

Asked to be subbed off but seems like it's not serious now. Not sure if he's actually fine or just pretending because he wants to play
