Argentina's defence = shIEt , if they could just get their stuff right they could be a beast team

Hehe

Que padre los morenos!
Colombia deservo a ganar este partido.
Que bien defensa, yo fui muy impresivo.

The problem is not Messi. The problem is the coach and the team that have failed to make use of him. I saw at least two cases during the highlights where Messi was in the best position and they opted to shoot or pass to someone else. I think there is too much ego in this team to succeed.

GREAT GOALKEEPING FROM BOTH SIDES I HAVE TO SAY, KEEPERS WHERE PUT TO THE TEST!

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON DOWN BELOW? IN THE COMMENTS SECTION? YOUR AN EMBARRESMENT. SO MUCH CRITISISM FOR ARGENTINA AND MESSI IN PERTICULAR. YES ARGENTINA HAVENT BEEN PLAYING GREAT BUT THEY WILL COME THROUGH AND SO WILL MESSI. NO ONE IN PERTICULAR IS PLAYING ALL THAT WELL THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF DRAWS. I NO FOR A FACT ALL YOU HATERS JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON AS SOON AS A TEAM OR PLAYER IS DOING WELL. AT LEAST FORM SOME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM INSTEAD OF BEING DAMB RIGHT RUDE. ITS NOT GOOD FOR FOOTBALL OR THE FORUMS

give messi a break he'll cum around

Barcelona has the best two midfielders in the world in Xavi and Iniesta. Spain's Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup Qualification 100% record, and the 2010 World Cup win speaks for itself.

Barcelona's success is the same.

Messi playing outside of Barcelona = N00B

LOL. Further proof that Messi is just an average player.

why the hell doese messi fans start criticing ronaldo out of nowehere! ATM Ronaldo is doing farr better than messi and secondly portugal would rape arentina, 2 of the fastest players in wing Ronaldo, Nani, every1 knows raul mireless now how gd he is so wtf why bieng idiotic when argentina playing fukin s**t, their fans always talks about having 7 strikers, thats why they fail to score!!

the fact is that Messi is s**t without Xavi and Iniesta, stop arguing and Deal with it!!!!!!!!!

unlucky Argentina

maybe this clip misrepresented the game, but was there even one pass inside the box from either team, i guess everybody was just trying to shoot from distance

This game should've easily ended 3-0 for Colombia. Argentina were complete crap. Chile & Uruguay will destroy them if they continue playing like this. Messi needs to stop playing like he's on Barcelona. He has to realize that there is no xavi or iniesta so he has to change his mentality and playing style a bit in order to contribute more for his team. Tevez needs to wake the hell up. the guy does nothing but stand around. He didn't even get one shot. Higuain did more in 5 minutes. Lavezzi is just simply horrible. How he is chosen over Di Maria & Aguero is a complete mystery. And last but not least, the defence. There's so much I can say about the defence but, i'd rather just sum it all up with one word. The word is simply GARBAGE!

The problem is that the european calendar and championships don't consider Copa America or African Cup; This way the best players get there without proper rest from long seasons, and the worst is that they get late to their team's pre-season preparation.

I think the solution could be to make World Cup every 2 years and in the middle a sub-competition for national teams who fail to qualify for the WC.

What do you think about that?

Just give it time Messi will come good for Argentina...
Even Ronaldo isn't performing to his best with Portugal right?? ;D

people are so quick to criticize when they are poor rather than applaud when they perform... sigh
