I would play something like that.

A three man midfield?

I was suggesting a slightly adjusted 4-2-3-1 formation.

Against most teams, the back four and the two deep midfielders will be enough for Argentina, so the forward four would't have to do much defending.

I disagree. They'll be raped on the counter if Messi &co don't track back and defend when they lose the ball; which they won't..

my exact same thought, just switch Aguero with Messi

 

[Trequartista]

Yea, it would make more sense so Messi could cut inside and shoot with his left foot while Aguero could do the opposite.

i don't know what those argentinians coaches are smoking, this is so obvious
You could also start Di Maria insted of Aguero for more defensive cover for the wing.

 

[Flamez]

You guys saw Messi running backwards to get the ball? That's what happens when you have three defensive midfielders who can't link the lines. And that's why I don't like when people want two DM alongside Pirlo too. Even with the best forwards you can't play well with three defensive minded players in the midfield.

Banega - Masch - Pastore
Messi - Higuain - Aguero

I'd play this if I was the coach. They have practically the best midfield+attack of the world with also a great depth. Their coach is so lame...

 

[bianconero]

Argentina are lesser than their sum of parts.

If they didn't have glamorous Argentinian names people would see them as just another average team.

 

[The Curr]

Colombia: Martinez; Zuniga, Yepes, Perea, Armero; Bolivar, Guarin, Aguilar; Moreno, Ramos, Falcao.

Costa Rica: Moreira; Acosta, Calvo, Duarte, Salvatierra; Leal, Guzman, Madrigal, Mora; Brenes, Campbell.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Zapata injured or suspended?

 

[Yamen]

Costa's keeper looks solid so far. great saves.

 

[Espectro]

Great couple of saves by Moreira!!

 

[The Curr]

Zapata injured or suspended?

He deosn't have that many caps, so I don't know if he's first choice.

 

[Bufi]

Columbia is playing very good,they had it three good chances.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

He deosn't have that many caps, so I don't know if he's first choice.

Yeah, he's on the bench. Behind Yepes and Perea? Weird.

 

[The Curr]

Most of this Costa Rica squad have no international caps. Their number 2 plays college football in the US.

 

[Gabriel]

Zapata injured or suspended?

He deosn't have that many caps, so I don't know if he's first choice.

According to local media he has some fitness issues.

Though i wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't first choice, our coach is an idiot.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Oho. Yeah, Zapata is a boss.

 

[Espectro]

Most of this Costa Rica squad have no international caps. Their number 2 plays college football in the US.

Yeah we thank Concacaf for that


Red card... yeeeeeeeeeeiiii

 

[Gabriel]

Costa Rica had it coming for a while.

 

[Gabriel]

Fucking Bolivar can't make a long pass even if his life depended on it.
