the better team lost (by penalties), very unlucky, no one can deny that Uruguay was repeatedly saved by the Keeper....

muslera, what a keeper

I think Argentina has the best squad.. but i guess it is not best for the team.. for the last comment, Argentina needs an experienced coach!

Uruguay, the better TEAM won. For all their individual goals they could only supply 5 in the tournament. I would love to see Argentina do well but like they used to some years ago but cohesion is one attribute all their managers cannot find.

Muslera!!! damn

Tevez left Manchester united for City.

Mascherano was with Liverpool.

Arguero most likely joining City.

Messi demolished united twice !

Hence, most of the haters here are the red devils.

Argentinian goals in 10/11 club competitions

Tevez (Citeh)- 23 goals
Higuain (RM)- 13 goals
Messi (Barca) 53 goals
Lavezzi (Napoli)- 9 goals
Aguero (AM)- 27 goals
Milito (Inter)-8 goals
Di Maria (RM)- 9 goals
Pastore (Palermo)- 14 goals

Thats 156 goals in club football this past year, yet those players combined just for 5 goals in 4 matches with Aguero netting 3 and getting 3 of the team goals against Costa Rica's "B" squad.

There are clearly too many cooks in the kitchen for the albiceleste and some of the players need to be reined in to create some cohesiveness on the pitch. Thankfully there is a great core of younger players that look to be stars for quite some time but I have to imagine Batista is really feeling the heat right now.

Muslera!

All the messi haters must not have watched the game, he was absolutely brilliant and he's the only reason Argentina got the equalizer to send the game to penalties.

Argentina have great players, But Uruguay have a better team...oh and they have great players!

I think the whole argument about Messi not being good without Xavi or Iniesta is based on the fact that the Argentina midfielders are just poor. Without a creator, i.e. Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Sneijder, Modric to name a few, there's way too much pressure on Messi to take their place. And by taking their place, it's down to the strikers to do their jobs. But to be fair, Uraguay's keeper was unbelievably good, I think Higuain was lucky to even get his first goal past this beast.

I hope Wenger's watching, I'd like to see him at the Emirates.

I thought Gago played a fantastic match.

I miss riquelme.

If Messi sucks, what does that make you?

Not one bit surprised they lost, hahaha.
