No way we are beating Holland away. Draw is the best we can get, we are not very good away from home.

Belgium has a goal difference of +31 
33-2
33-2We need to start looking for Brazilian playersHmm, we need to start renewing the development of Goalkeepers, Central Defenders and always the Striker questions.
This and the fact is not easy for the players who come from the B teams to make the first team, then they are loaned out or packed by Jorge Mendes
I don't understand why he played did Fernandes played?
With the way Holland is playing it is definitely possible.
I rate Robben very highly. IMO he is one of the best players in the world and I wouldn't have any other winger in his position when fit. However at his age the Dutch team should not be relying on him alone. The older generation have done very well for Holland but no one has looked close to replacing them which means extra pressure for them. I hope that you can find the right talent to compete with the top European sides otherwise the future is looking very bad for Dutch football.
We bottled a 2-0 lead over cyprus!!!...I am done until we get a new coach, what pains more is greece drew to estonia and we could have gone 2nd. Also so sick of having the same group pretty much ever tournament, lost count of how many times we have played all these nations apart from gibraltar.
True, I think we'll lose. But if can put in another busparking masterclass like at home with the way Holland is playing anything is possible
I'll happily take 0-0
If we beat bulgaria and sweden we can still qualify :P
Acuña starts! Will he be playing as a wingback? I have no idea what formation that is
Nice. I think so. Great to see a Sporting player start in a NT as strong as Argentina.
I think he might even be a left back for this game which is pretty weird. If he can play that role it would be very good for us too as Coentrão is bound to get injured any time now and Jonathan Silva isn't reliable
Then peyroteo uses that argument to put cr7 over messi cause argentina has better players.
Yet acuña being there is clearly a sign of how weak our team is atm.
BUT I understand that he's there more to give balance to the team, they'll play with 3 defenders.
I'm really sad not seeing Bustos nor Rigoni even on the bench. I hope they play next week if we beat Uruguay today.
ALSO atm Venezuela and Colombia are playing and Venezuela almost scored. IF they win it would be hella awesome to us.

We played Eliseu and Nelson Oliveira today tbh and you're complaining about Acuña
Is it actually 3 at the back by the way? Who will play on the right if that's the case?
Mercado - Fazio - Otamendi
or so.
Acuña will play in the right middle position. Di Maria on the other side.

That's weird. Both Acuña and Di Maria play as wingers/forwards for their clubs. That 11 pretty much looks like a 3-2-5.
-----------------Romero------------------
-----Mercado----Fazio----Otamendi-----
------------Pizarro----Biglia--------------
Acuña-----------------------------Di Maria
--------------Messi-----Dybala-----------
-------------------Icardi-------------------
I tought it was more likely a 4-2-3-1 with Mercado playing as right back and Acuña as left back. Neither seem like great options tbh.
Holy shit Suarez is playing again. What a tank.
Vidal causes a freekick - and then has a very nice header to make it an own goal.

do you even know anything about our NT? You have a front four of Dybala, Messi, Di Maria and Icardi. Aguero on the bench and i don't even know what's up with Higuaín. Meanwhile Ronaldo plays with André Silva, Nelson Oliveira and Quaresma. Yeah Ronaldo does have it easy with linking up with a Norwich reject.Otamendi
Who's the reject?This post
Nelson Oliveira. He can't even be a starter in a Championship club
Mendes player?
Yes ofc
This is a boring game so far. Needs a goal
Argentina don't look impressive again. No cutting edge when they have the ball.
The Argentina team is so lopsided. Many great forwards but they don't have that balance with the rest of the team so end up fitting square pegs into round holes.
Romero has this knack of making really good saves but also looking very dodgy while making them.
How's messi playing?
A few nice passes but an average game so far. It's an ugly and slow game and Uruguay are doing well at covering the space between the lines where Messi likes to be.
He nearly scored as I wrote that after a great combination with Dybala
Just had a great bit of magic and almost scored.
Had a few great passes before that too.
Uruguay chance
Di Maria is trending on twitter and for the wrong reasons, what is he doing?
Never hated a player tbh in terms of his performances.
But I really need Di Maria out of the team ASAP. If Sampaoli's decent, the first thing he should do is take him out.
And never call him again. EVER.

I thought Di Maria wasn't playing badly considering he's out of position
Icardi has been worse imo. Completely anonymous although him pressing on the Uruguay centre backs is useful

Paraguay make it 2-0 in Chile

Dybala, Icardi didn't exist today
I'd swap di maria, higuain and aguero for Andre Silva and Nelson Oliveira. Even just getting 2, giving you 3.
That sums it up I guess.
