Opinions on Argentina after yesterday's display?
First half I thought messi was receiving the ball from such deep positions he is always going to take at least five touches and he was clamped down again and again.
With the switches in the second half messi was receiving the ball in key areas further up the field making his dribbles more effective.
Personally I would drop kun for the third match (Iran in the second match should be a formality) I find his style of play does not suit messi. Huguian needs to start added the extra width which was missing in the first

Keshi is stubborn.
He is trying to push these home grown policy which is cool and worked in his era in the 90s. But the game as advanced so much from then.
Then he decides to shop around the continent then selects ameobi. Wtf?
No obinna, olaitan etc.
They are a couple decent players missing from that squad.
he should have kept the acon team tbh. Put my jersey on ebay because this team has been shambles with the whole match fixing thing...
Rooting for other af teams tbh
