  1. These clowns need to shut up and get off the show everything the Argentinian guy said was correct and true and they laughed smh stupid old men probably never played a game of football in their lives

  2. Argentine lost 6-1 to Bolivia in 2009 and luckily messi was there.
    Argentine lost the wc 2014 messi was there,
    Argentine lost copa america 2015 messi was there,
    Argentine lost the copa america 2016 again and again messi was there,
    Argentine lost to Croatia in wc and once again messi was there….
    These are the facts…
    Messi is good on field but not born for Argentina….

  3. Huh so funny analysis,
    He is giving completely lame exuses to the lost… When Brazil lost 7.1 to germany no one even mentioned that there was no neymar n the captain thiago silva that's why brazil lost by that margin. Though neymar was at his best at that world cup…
    From Pakistan ??

  4. the one "selling" it, is the only one that makes sense and knows what he is talking about. These other clowns are just that, clowns..it was a friendly, it's meant to see how certain players perform hence why friendlies have unlimited substitutions. this loss meant nothing.

  5. Winning world cup doesn't prove your ability Maradona was involved in 10 goals in his world cup win..Messi was involved in 8 goals in 2014…he's won more then Maradona ever has scored more, assisted more, dribbled more, created more chances I've never seen Maradona play but I'm watching Messi play and i cannot imagine anyone better then him

  6. Those 3 are all rude, pompous buffoons with air in between their ears.

    Specially the one on the left. Dude thinks he’s funny but he’s an embarassment.

  7. Can you blame Sampaoli for experimenting with his squad ? He hasn’t even been the head coach for Argentina for too long. No one is saying Spain can’t defeat Argentina even when Messi is there, but there’s a huge difference when that guy is playing. I think all those Real Madrid champions league titles have gotten fans to sleep on messi and forget just how dangerous the little guy can be when he’s around and in form. Sampaoli has time to fix up his midfield, and messi is hungrier than ever. Watch out, I wouldn’t rule out Argentina so easily. Real Madrid played a bad season according to their standards but still won the champions league. This is football and anything can happen

  8. Praise god…finally someone with some footballing sense. People dont realize that just one moment can change the outcome of a match. In a way I think Argentina actually benefited from this defeat, because now they'll know what works and what doesn't. Not all opponents are the same and sometimes you have to change your tactics base on which opponent you got…..The Analyst broke down everything, while the others were just interested in the scoreline.

  9. The guy has real football knowledge. These cunt on the right is the "im alwys right" guy. What a bunch of cunts. If ur gna jst analyse on the score. Leave the panel. The guy speaks sense unlike these cunts
