One of my most favorite Arsenal stories is Bellerin and Jeremy Corbyn talking at a party and Piers tried to butt his way in, so Bellerin and Corbyn started speaking in Spanish, pissing Piers off | ||

I only saw the highlights of the match though, but knock-out tournaments are often decided by a good portion of luck, and Argentina hasn't been on the right side of it, given their multitude of second places in the last decade. Judging from the highlights, Argentina played pretty well compared to earlier matches in the tournament. Brasil just a bit too much quality and they had some bad luck with refereeing decisions as well. | ||

Haven't seen copa so maybe they improved, but they usually have Messi pick the ball up at the middle line and then expect him to score somehow when there's 8 players between him and the goal Then they all stay static so he can't use his insane through pass skills and he has to go on some 6 player solo dribble and gets stopped and they wonder why he can't carry the team. | ||

if they actually treated him like a normal field player Argentina would have easily won a title already. | ||

Lost the WC in overtime, lost 2 Copa America finals in penalties. They definitely did something very wrong to achieve those terrible results. | ||

There results are better than the players they have. People overrate Argentina, they had a lot of mediocre players these years. | ||

Even with the sub-par play in the last 4 matches, they could've won this tournament with a little bit more luck. They played way better in the semi-final, Messi included. Brasil was just more clinical with their chances and Argentina had bad luck with the ref. | ||

Argentina did play well but Brazil has been like this with Tite which has lost like 2 matches in his time, very cautious with stupidly fast and effective counters. | ||
