Yussuf should just stay out of the penalty area!

So close to an own goal, that would make the set complete in a matter of minutes

Unconfirmed reports by Fox Sports are claiming that Maxi MEZA will start for Argentina ahead of Cristian PAVON.

It’s no secret that coach Jorge SAMPAOLI will make changes for Argentina’s second group stage match against Croatia but one of the main question marks was which of Maxi MEZA or Cristian PAVON would start. With Angel DI MARIA out of the starting eleven, one of the two are expected to start.

However, per Fox Sports, Maxi MEZA will get the nod ahead of the Boca Juniors man. Here’s what they claim is the starting line-up:

CABALLERO; MERCADO, OTAMENDI, TAGLIAFICO, SALVIO, ENZO, MASCHERANO, ACUNA; MESSI, MEZA, AGUERO

If Argentina, a team offensively stacked with superstars, only has two superstars in their starting formation you just gotta wonder what on earth that manager is doing. I get that many think you should play the players who fit into your system and not the ones with the bigger market value but that maybe counts if you play a 30M$ instead of a 50M$ Player, not a 10M$ instead of a 100M$ player. If this is the case you are playing the wrong system

I think Denmark deserved a penalty in 2nd half , overall i think this group is very intersting and balanced at least no parking the bus

Who do you think should play then? I could imagine Dybala playing as AM and Messi on the right wing. Aguero and Higuain together probably isn't a viable option.

Eriksen was invisible in the 2nd half. If Australia showed more courage, they could have won this.

You don't follow Argetina closely. Higuaín can't play with Agüero, Di María has been absolutely awful for the last 30 games more or less and Dybala is also bad for nt and plays the same as Messi. Honestly, my only complain for the coach today is not starting Pavón. I think that is a big mistake.
