Okay o Riquelme was there as well, but that's not bad against the 'greatest midfielders in the history of the world'!! Also, didn't England need a last minute goal to see off a weakened Uruguay? Did you see what Argentina did to Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier no less? (I'm talking about the 4-2 home win). I'm not gonna be brash and say Argentina WILL win it but I don't see where this England fuss comes from. They're just guys in Nike commercials.

On papar it looks easy but the world cup is made for upsets and i can see you struggling against sweden. Paraguay will give you a scare as well. England got the players to win the world cup but with that turnip as manager anything could go wrong. As a friend of mine said the guy is more interested in women than his job!! If we have got a tough group then the english have no excuses especially if your going to be facing germany,poland,ecuador or poland in second round. Its a good thing the eyes are not on argentina this time round. Everyone is looking at england and brazil. Sorry bud, i think england had better watch their step as well.

The fans "hunger" will soon turn into starvation I'm afraid. I think they are being a little too optimistic- considering the quality of opposition in group C. They can't even handle Croatia right now. Maybe 2010 Argentina!! Argentina isn’t even making it out of the group. The fans “hunger” will soon turn into starvation I’m afraid.

IMO, sometimes it's good. Coz when he's cold, the opponents will lose focus of him for a while. Right now, the opponents have been focusing on him all the time! Other players should take charge & distract the opponents players away from him, whether it is Aimar or D’alessandro or Messi or whoever, must absorb the heat from him. Otherwise, he is sitting duck! Even Ronaldhino needs Deco, E'too or Messi to perform well, coz he doesn't need to do it all time. In any game, supporting players are as important as star players! I like what I see in Messi during Croatian game, where he is not afraid to take charge when there's opportunity. That's why he is one of the key players in 2006. Riquelme’s hot & cold is his styles.

The man has been giving his all for Villareal. He is suffering from an injury and is reserving his best for the clash with inter. Stop making him sound like a Recoba or some other inconsistent player because he is not. Even on his worst night he can produce some quality passes. Riquelme is not inconsistent!

Whatever it takes to get him OUT of the picture today, and then we can evaluate our options. I wouldn't want to put all my chips riding on Riquelme's inconsistencies. Have you ever seen D'alessandro playing with the Albiceleste? He runs like Sorin, but he has the skills and the brains. He is totally rested because he has not done anything in the last years or so, and he will put huevos when the time comes. Riquelme is a crap shoot. Oh common!!!,

Part of coaching is motivating and knowing when to make moves. I think that you start Requilme but the coach has got to make it clear that if he is having a bad day then aimar comes in. The coach should not wait so long to sub. He has three subs and if Requilme is not on his game then put Aimar in at about the 30 minute mark. I believe that Argentina will win the WC. They have the talent and in some ways the expectations have been lowered. Last year after they beat Brasil I think that you would have considered them a favorite and now they have Messi. The only reason that have not performed up to that same level since then is injuries. When they have their best eleven back the world will see! Dale Argentina!

The guy is one argentinas best midfielders (although inconsistent) and would never wish our playmaker such bad luck. His on off form may get to me at times but as an albiceleste fan i would never want to him get injured for the sake of another player. The more competition the better, this way if one players fails to cut it they'l always be a player breathing down their neck with the fans breathing down the squad's necks. adios Gastoncufre what are you going on about wishing riquelme gets injured.

If riquelme is 99x better then aimar are you sayin pablo is shit. You got to be kidding me. Aimar will give riquelme a run for his money any day of the week. The boy is quick, skillful and scores goals, whilst riquelme always blowing hot and cold, never knowing what to expect. Yes Riquelme is talented and an excellent passer but the man is so inconsistent and that pisses me off. Big deal if riquelme doesnt perform in one of the world cup group games, it will give aimar his chance. what you chattin about lol. If riquelme is 99x better then aimar are you sayin pablo is shit.
