Australia lost every game

Cahill scored the best goal of the tournament. I couldn't think of a decent LB.

Everyone hates our Barça because even in decline and ruled by donkeys we are still better than their teams

I get that, but to be fair, that's not the case with this Argentina side.

Inter had no messi aguero di maria either

Of course. But on the other hand, none of the other Argentinian players except Mascherano can compare to Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu and Cambiasso all in their prime, and they still do a great defensive job. Not to mention Zanetti and the 2010 Eto'o and Sneijder. That was a very very good team which people tend to underrate just to overhype Mourinho's achievement and compare it to the 2004 one.

Not better than my team. Thanks for Thiago!

You shouldn't be doing fun about Thiago transfer when you are selling your best midfielder to your biggest rival in Europe.

I get that, but to be fair, that's not the case with this Argentina side.

Same goes to Messi

Lucio, Samuel and Chivu were not in their prime.

 

[Arnau]

2010 Lucio-Samuel partnership is one of the best in CL history.

 

[yoyo913]

Sabella looks like a cross between Bill Murray and Clint Howard.

Thiago is the biggest genius I've ever seen with the ball. I love Kroos, but he doesn't have the talent of Thiago and Gotze.

 

[yoyo913]

2010 Lucio-Samuel partnership is one of the best in CL history.

They were great, but individually the two had better peaks at different times. The CL was their greatest achievement however.

 

[Arnau]

I think everyones agrees that they were not in the peak of his career, but their performances in that CL were epic.

Thiago is the biggest genius I've ever seen with the ball. I love Kroos, but he doesn't have the talent of Thiago and Gotze.

Thiago hasn't proved a shit yet.



Sabella is a mix between Lotina and 60 years old Riquelme.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Thiago hasn't proved a shit yet.

Because your stupid club is stupid. He looked like Bayern's best player when he was healthy last year. He is Spain's best midfielder.

 

[Xifio]

sorry Arnau, but Mario agrees with Shifty regarding Thiago ...

 

[Arnau]

Thiago is so great but he hasn't proved a shit yet, i don't care if he looked great against Kaiserlaurten or Fortuna Whateverhoff

 

[Xifio]

hahaha

The exact next season all those players you mentioned were either full crap or average

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Germany should play their system without major alteration, trusting that Messi's fatigue will prevent him from beating them. I haven't seen Messi beat anyone with pace all World Cup. Treat him like a Riquelme; a brilliant, but immobile playmaker.

Time for Garay vs Hummels

 

[Bobby]

Hummels would look good in that new Arsenal kit.
