Di Maria was poor in the World Cup. I donât know what youâre on about. Did nothing of note in the group. Was the worst player on the pitch against Switzerland until his goal and injured against Belgium. Youâve said it a few times now and never backed it up.
They were the better team in the world cup final and therefore should have won the world cup
Best player on the pitch against the Belgians and assisted the only goal in the quarter and scored the winning goal against the Swiss. Missed the semi and final through injury.
Youâre so fucking blinkered and your expectation levels for a guy of Messiâs rep is beyond modest.
Who put that ball on a plate for Di Maria to score the goal against Switzerland in a game Di Maria played terrible in? Didnât see the Belgium game at the time but didnât Di Maria go off before half time?
Yes, so Messi managed one moment in 450 minutes of knockout football while Di Maria managed two while playing in a deeper and more team orientated position in 150 odd minutes. Youâre not doing a good job in whatever case you are trying to make for Mythi .
Di Maria was a star at the world cup but also missed a good deal of it with injury? Fuck off.
Messi wasnât outstanding in the world cup and I agree Mascherano was their best player but to say Aguero and Di Maria play better than Messi for Argentina is just plain wrong
If teams set up like they do against Messi against Diego heâd have been sent off pretty much every time or have some sort of meltdown. No doubt he was an incredible player but in every facet of the game Messi is better and has shown it for a far longer period than Diego ever did⌠You keep talking about Messis goals. He is the best striker, winger, number 10, playmaker etc to ever play the game. He is far more than just a goal scorer. Illustrated by his Xabi meets Pirlo performance last night. That Argentinian team has been pretty muck for years with a terrible goal keeper, poor defense and often very little in midfield. Messi has done v well to get them to two major tournament finals in the space of 12 months.
Do you even realise how blinkered you are? Di Maria was not terrible against the Swiss, Messi was though. A team who had fucked over other top class attackers to build a team around Messi and their attack completely malfunctioned around him. Heâs meant to be the best player in the world but he stood back and let the lesser players lead the charge. Your points are bizarre.
Blinkered. The Argentina team has carried Messi for years. Ask Burdisso.
Do you just check the people who score and assist and then make your judgements on whether they played well based on that? Watch the games yourself and make your own judgement. You are bringing up Di Maria and his two good moments. They wouldnt have had to go to extra time against Switzerland if Di Maria played better in the game and wasnât Argentinaâs goal against Belgium an outstanding finish by Higuain and basically nothing to do with a basic pass by Di Maria?
Hahaha in what way have they carried Messi? Only for him they wouldnât have got out of the group stage at the world cup.
You just continue to make things up and hope that people arenât bothered to dispute your bullshit. When I get a bit more free time in a few hours I will go through some things in detail to show that youâre wrong. Di Maria was shite against Switzerland and that is a fact and the goal Higuain scored against Belgium was an outstanding finish and little to do with a basic pass by Di Maria
Why does a player who breaks all scoring records for his club struggle so bad with his country who have adapted their tactics to get the best out of him?
Why does their attack misfire so badly with Messi leading the charge of a star studded team?
Other players have has to step up and drag Argentina forward when it is has become obvious Messi is not up to it.
Why is that?
So Messiâs a flat track bully only capable of doing it against the likes if Iran and Nigeria?
Where did anyone say this? You just keep moving your argument around the place. Messi is the greatest ever even if never assisted a goal or assist for Argentina. Mardonnas club careers comes no where near Messis yet you seem to completely ignore this and was not as consistent as Messi.
Well he wasnât in great form all of last season for Barcelona either and was clearly unfit. Also every team bar Germany in the world cup set up with at least 10 men behind the ball every time Argentian got it because of Messi. And that misfiring Argentina attack got 6 goals last night, Messi involved in all of them
Maradona won a Series A title with Napoli. There is nowhere in the world where a footballer is revered like Maradona is in Naples. They havenât won one since he left.
Messi has taken HGH to win a load of trophies with a huge club and ostracised a load of his team mates and undermined managers all the way a long. Maradona had debilitating factors when he was the greatest on earth and did it on the biggest stage of it all, The World Cup. Messi has flopped there despite all the favourable conditions heâs had.
Heâs nowhere near the hype created about him. Heâs too chicken shit to leave Barca.
Oh he was âclearly unfitâ. Stop talking bollocks now. He was fit, heâs just not the same player when you take him out of his cosy environment at Barca. Thatâs just the way it is, he relies on those around him and thatâs not the mark of a great.
Well he clearly wasnât fit. He was getting sick during games ffs. You probably donât like him because heâs more Italian than you and he doesnât even want to be
