Like yuhself Jai....Wine dong the place lol...
Iz long time ah know yuh waiting for this moment. Brazil had Arg number for a good little stretch in recent times so ah know yuh feeling good to shake what was seeming like a football monkey. In all fairness though yuh have a few big margin wins to rack up before yuh could really gallery, to make up for the dark days Argentina senior team football has gone through in recent years...both against Brazil and overall....
When last Argentina senior team win a trophy? like 1993 or someting so? meanwhile in that drought period for Argentina, Brazil racked up 2 world cups, a few copas and a few confed cups....
Good win today, and great goal by Leo....but under all the ole talk and gallery, the albiceleste still playing catch up in the modern era....
Messi = magic nonetheless...
yes i am enjoying this ...everyone has his moments ..and argentina's time will soon come as meh pardner does say ..
argentina is still not the finished product but you must admit they have come a long way from their WC performance vs germany.
Copa next year !
Batista made an important switch to adjust to brazilian pressure in the second half. Since Brazil had closed all the doors making it difficult for Argentina to come forward, he just copied Brazil and went back to come forward...you must have seen how Brazil slowed the game when Argentina pressed ...well Argentina did the same ...patience is not an argentinian strength ..they always want to see something happening unlike Brazilians who are accustomed to slowing the game to a walk then exploding at top pace.
I have no doubt that Kaka will again be a factor in the Copa as his style will suit the "young guns " ..or the flying twins ..
Argentina still has to find that missing piece which, even in this game was obvious .....they sacrificed Pastore in the second half to counter Brazil's pressing game ... They need a third player in the middle who can hustle and win balls ...mascherano and banega are naturals but they are one short against teams with stifling midfielders.
Brazil really impressed me though with this youthful team ...dem yutes could handle big games already ...that is why this victory is so special so big game chokers like Higuain could overcome the mindset...Messi has gotten over the first hurdle ..now he can stamp his authority on the field for Argentina as he does every week for Barca ...you say I happy ...I real happy ...great game of football , played in the way football should be played ....skills, thrills and drills
