Argentina was excellent. They deserved to win. They are definitely one of the favourites to win the 2014 world cup.

I cant see Argentina doing too well

They still need to sort out what the hell their starting 11 is as well as finding a proper midfield

Brazil, Germany, Spain are the teams to beat in 2014 from what ive seen so far

gago/mascherano/pastore. there's your midfield

**JOAL.com** · 10-12-2012, 10:50 PM

Is pastore injured? Because he wouldnt start today

gago did rather well though. Messi had to play a deeper role which i disliked.

ideal formation for argentina needs tevez, messi and aguero. with aguero up top

**Kiz** · 10-12-2012, 10:57 PM

replace tevez with di maria

some combination with romero/zaba/garay/demichellis/rojo/gago/masch/pastore/di maria/aguero/messi would see them reach the semi's, at least. then you have guys like higuain, lavezzi, banega, gaitan, coloccini, burdisso, zanetti and others who could all play a part.

Ansaldi > Rojo every day of the week.

And don't forget Cambiasso either, still a terrific midfielder.

Argentina was so many goatly players it's ridiculous. Dosen't really matter seeing as how they'll go out in the quarter finals

**Tyler Durden** · 10-13-2012, 02:48 AM

Messi is on another planet, no competition.

**Quasi Juice** · 10-13-2012, 04:10 AM

He's been on another level for a while now, yet they have underperformed at every major competition last few years. I'm not convinced by Argentina's defence and their GK is decent but not world class. In 2 years it will once again be between Germany and Spain, and ofcourse Brazil because they are hosts.

Not hard to agree though is it. Of course Bale needs to be punished, it's disgraceful.

Do you now? Aww poor you. Why would I show up in an INTERNATIONAL thread when Spurs have won a couple games, nice logic there. Hold on, maybe you actually ARE from Manchester, I don't think I could associate someone from London with that logic.

Nope, they're not. Don't see what Jeffers, Nugent and Heskey prove, they're not good enough either. I've been worried about England's future since as far as I can remember, it's not the poor amount of players they bring through, more the coaching at a younger level, it's a joke.
