Not once , nor twice but thrice. I can understand how hot the Argentinian fans are. Winning three times, coming back from behind and with Messi taking the responsibility over his shoulders, looks like an incredible plot for a Hollywood movie.
To be fair, they manage to complete the comeback because England retreated badly. Up to 6 defenders in line, substituting wingers by centre backs with almost 30 minutes left to the end. Poor decisions. Despite of using tall defenders , Argentinian managed to head the ball several times. They let Argentinians to shot once and again. The ball, in the last 30 minutes, was in Argentinian feet 88% of the time. So no surprises, they were beaten.
So, here we are, the reigning champions in Europe against the reigning World and South American champions. What else could you ask for?
As I said before France's match, we need to get the ball, hold it with patience and seek for the spaces. But I am sure that Argentina will try to repeat the first quarter of yesterday's match , being intense and making fouls to stop Spain's pace. It will be really important that the referee does not allow excessive belligerent behavior.
It should be a great day to enjoy the Beautiful Game!
@Carresan do you agree in general?
Yes! It's accurate!
This is just bananas
It is definitely the place where all started at club level.
And they never abandoned the school lessons
Your passionate reporting made me smile at the end of an exhausting work week
Haha, good to know. I have some skin in the game!
Don't piss Messi off like England did and Spain probably wins.
We know him really well but still he kept scoring us in La Liga and winning games at the last minute after completing our best performance. The only way to avoid him is keeping him far from the box, though that is sooooo hard. Anyway we will to try enjoy the match and expect the unexpected.
I was holding on the score update 😆
First time ever continental champs will meet in the final
