They reached 3 cup finals in the last 4 years actually

Because it's Sampaoli's fault they suck.
Both Sampaoli's and Argentina's football association's fault in choosing to make Messi the leader of this team. This team simply wilts under pressure. Messi has 0 leadership qualities.

Neymar cut his noodle hair. He’s back. :touched:
Yeah, they faced Switzerland, Belgium and a declined Netherlands. You know what, you better damn make the final with such draw. And they still barely made it lol

Nice reasoning. If you say that about Portugal and Ronaldo people laugh at you. The bias here can be really annoying.
That disgusting Brazil reached the semi final. That tells you something.

It’s not bias. Argentina is one of the traditional big boys in international football and much more is expected of them. So yeah, for Argentina’s standard they’ve been appalling bad for a long time.

Fazio, Banega, Di Maria, Dybala and Icardi should all start.

Aguero does nothing in these big games. And Higuain is as we know a bottler. Out with the old and in with the new.

But heard that Messi picks the team. And some nobodies from SA start (3-4 players start out of europe). Mascherano has been a great player but he is old now and plays in China.

Not having a starting keeper is a big issue also though. Both keepers are backups in their clubs.

Coach seems clueless. Went with a back 3 when Arg never played it before, in a big WC game.
