Argentinians now arguing whether they should switch stadiums and receive Peru at the more intimidating La Bombonera.

Problem is, last time they played Peru there they knocked them out of the 1970 WC.

They are beating themselves before even playing. Good sign for an in-form Peru.

I've been surprised with how rarely they play there. It's one of the historic stadiums globally.

Capacity and safety track record makes River's stadium a better choice. They occasionally play in the provinces, but in Buenos Aires the Monumental is the obvious choice. Not a cauldron like La Bombonera though.

Thus "they could get a hiding". I think you are significantly underrating the impact of a two-leg knockout with a never-ending flight in between.

Back in 2006 we got Australia in Montevideo. Our FA started low-balling the charter company and next thing they knew the Aussies had hired them.

Result? They were on a plane two hours after the game while we ended up flying in the wee hours (no rest), commercial, via LAX, and arrived in Sydney an entire day after them. They played like zombies.

It is EXACTLY the sort of cock up the Argie FA is capable of and I can already see the tweets and angry mugs from the spoilt superstars with a ready excuse for failure.

Messi will just ask Barca to send their jet.

Watch the incident. Around the 74th minute. Clear shirt pull on Murphy inside the box.

All our players mentioned it to MON.

It is beyond comical to say that was a penalty, seriously buddy get a grip. Brady should have been sent off ten times over for his constant fouling and arguing with players and the ref.

You can't grab a person's shirt inside the box to gain leverage. It's a fact.

We're not buddies. I hope you and your nation suffer a thousand years of hurt. :)

As deluded as ever.

Ofc we're not buddies, with that behavior I doubt you have any tbh.

And I hope all your wishes towards my nation just bounce right back to your nation.

You showed your shallowness right now.

:lol: It would be hilarious if Peru pip you to it by a point. After all that moaning shitshow... :lol:

Question: are you better off with Sánchez not starting against Ecuador? It seems he has been out of sorts, but a month is plenty of time to screw your head back on. Who is the backup?

didn't see this hahah

No, we need Sánchez to get his head back. Some say it was the manchester city deal failing which i think it was. Others joke as it is his new girlfriend and even there are groups on fb calling to organize a march for them to break up :lol::lol::lol:
The backups would be Orellana from Valencia who actually plays very good but for Chile bar one match against Argentina in Santiago and another against Colombia in Barranquilla, the rest have been pure shitshow. Or we could use "Chapita" Fuenzalida from U. Católica.... We need Sánchez :lol::lol:
