Copa America goal record for Argentina

I mean , the point I'm making isn't far fetched is it ?

Looks like if he had the longevity would likely be more?

 

[Evo1883]

That being said , not many of us think Australia are going to do this surely ?

Nope! They're organised but worthy aren't they. Love it if they did mind you.

I like Messi but he's not close to Maradona for me. Diego dragged a solid but not exceptional Argentina to win the world cup. Dealing with defenders kicking lumps out of him, playing on shit pitches... All the time on the marching powder.

Messi can have a claim when he wins the world cup

Maybe it's because I was young, but I've never seen such consistent influence on a bang average team than that Maradona had on Argentina in Mexico 86.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Well that was pretty terrible goalkeeping!

 

[Alkhen]

Oh dear Auz goalkeeper.

 

[Tommo1993]

Cheap. Well done Aus.

He had a similar influence on napoli

Other worldly player

 

[AOM]

Argentina have got great players individually, but think they've looked so average in this tournament.
Just don't really seem to click very well and rely on individual brilliance

Baggio carried Italy at a World Cup once, then missed a penalty that sent them out.

But Maradona undoubtedly carried teams at domestic and international level.

 

[wingy]

That was impressive.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

He did. It seems wrong to say it given he knocked us out and he was pretty ropey as a human being at times.

But absolutely, my idol as a footballer, without peers.

Even ahead of David Phillips!

Baggio I'd argue is also one of the greatest 10s ever

He was a strange one towards the end of his career iirc. Without looking it up, didn't he go a bit weird after that penalty miss and his career suddenly fell off a cliff? Was a great player in his heyday.

Edit: irrelevant, and again without looking it up, wasn't he a buddhist or some such?

 

[Liquid Gold]

That pitch is absolutely fucked. I thought they’d start recovering now but they’re getting worse.

Not only can you see how patchy it is the ball is bobbling all over the place.

Mooy is the only Australian with any real vision. Leckie looks lively but really they are very mediocre

 

[wingy]

Yeah

 

[Deleted member 5849]

One back!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Cat among the pigeons !!

Then again...

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Shot was headed for row z

 

[Tommo1993]

Turned into a pretty good goal after deflecting

 

[It’sabatch87]

C’mon Aus another please against the cheating fookers!

 

[Tommo1993]

Expects Argentinian sucker punch. Hopes for a big turnaround.

 

[ccfc922]

Fucks that Oz RB doing giving that much space?

 

[wingy]

OMG that guy deserved that.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Can I just say that the Aussie left back Bejic (forgive spelling) plays for St Mirren. Looks half decent!!

 

[Evo1883]

Could have been a great goal

 

[Tommo1993]

Get Cahill and Viduka on

 

[wingy]

Come on Oz.

 

[wingy]

Down they go.

 

[ccfc922]

Down they go.

Wankers.
