Cambiasso and Mascherano in the middle is no way to move the ball forward.

Messi and Tevez have to come almost to the center circle to get a pass.

I glad this is happening. why? not so much BC i hate argentina, but when ppl start talkin outa timin bout kenwyne and his ability to score for the national team, but does the opposite for his club, they should consider ah top notch goal scorer like messi who often struggle on an international level.

this is ah strange phenomenon. fellas like adebeyor, kaka, rooney, messi, and in some cases kenwyne, does fairly well for their club, but often struggle when playing for their country.

i hope the KJ haters take note, BC this happens frequently to a lot of top notch players including the great lionell messi.

Argentina must beat costa Rica to stay alive now ... i am reading where the coach is backing his starting team ...leaving out Pastore and arguero again ...well he must know if he succeeds he is a hero and that if he loses he is zero. argentina must be a coach's dream and nightmare .

Blessed with amazing talent they have not gotten it right although producing some of the best players in world football. Lets see they have the three M's from Barcelona, players from Inter milan, Real madrid , Napoli, Man City, they even have two brothers on the team ...no country can boast of the combined success of its players at club level as argentina can ... yet they dont seem to gel as they should when they done the blue and white . maybe they should play in the navy blue made so famous by " El 10 " .

I still believe the key to the success is the link up between the attack and defense ...Argentina must attack ...they cannot play any other way . While german teams have patience argentinian footballers and crowds do not so an early goal always see a better Argentina as it settles the nerves . The converse is also trus as an early goal against them could see them capitulate regardless of who they are playing against as bolivia, colombia and germany have shown over the years . argentina has beaten these same teams but when they go up early ...when the opposite happens ..they fall and hard.

It really surprises me therefore that the midfield generalship of " el flaco ' is left idly on the sidelines. The player rated so highly in Italy where he has transformed a nothing team to great heights ..a la Riquelme at villareal ' is left like Riquelme when he was fit ..to watch on.

It is clear argentina is playing without an enganche as he is called . the brain . So far we are being outcoached ...lets see what happens next

Nowadays, club football and national team football is 2 different things. A player spend weeks and months learning a system with his club. Then he comes and spend 10 days to 2 weeks with the national and everybody expect magic. Clubs, especially the Euro big 16, have caused this pattern in football.

No easy way to Brazil 2014. This is Costa Rica's B team, for all purposes, and they made Bolivia look very ordinary.

Forlan, Suarez, El Matador Cavani.

Chile looking unsettled. Uruguay might catch them with an early goal here.

Looking forward to this match-good talent on display! I was goin tuh say that I dig Uruguay's jersey colour then I remember that is City's colours too! Steups!

Edit: Google and ye shall find:

The International F. A. Board decided at its meeting in March 2011 to allow the use of the vanishing spray paint as a continuing experiment in CONMEBOL (South America), where the proposal originated

I don't see what's so funny ? leave it to ah trini tuh put down our own. BTW i'm not making any comparisons, i'm just stating the obvious. playing on an international level could be much more difficult than playing on the club level for some players, that was my comparison if any @ all. but i guessed that flew over your head like ah like ah stealth bomber, didn't it ?

PS: and if i did make a comparison it was to indicate their short comings and not the other way around. all the players i mentioned often struggle on an international level, but have an easier time playing on a club level.

now did i really have tuh go though all that?

2-2, Fred wid d equaliser.

Fred should have been on the pitch from the start, this Brazil team is desperate for a target man.

I feel it for Paraguay. So close to 3 pts.

I see them use it in MLS games this season. A very good idea. Yeah Giggsy they use it for the walls too.
