Coincidence or not?

I think Argentina’s 2002 woes began when Javier Saviola (my favorite Championship Manager player) wasn’t picked to accompany the team. Any idea if he’ll be on this year’s team?

He will be on the team but if he is a starter or a bench warmer is yet to be decided because of the amount of forwards Argentina has. Crespo is a lock in to be a starter. Messi and Tevez both proved that they are big time players (Messi a lot more than Tevez). Saviola is a great talent but I think Pekerman is going to be pressured to start Messi and depending if Argentina comes out in the traditional 4-4-2 formation or 4-3-3 or 3-5-1 will determine how much we see of Saviola.

Are you American or Argentinean? I understand that you love the idea of Brazil paying to win games. I only don’t understand why England, Spain and Italy, coutries that are 1000% richer than Brazil can’t be champions in your conspiracy theory.

The selling colours, the “not” offsided Liverpool, the 3 stripes, strange lights in the sky… I can’t wait to read more of your interesting points of view. Mainly I want to read the opinions about them.

My opinion? Argentina is paying cosmic karma because of 1978’s results. You can read all about this issue in this address:

Let the best team win!

Im argentinian and yea the 1978 world cup was fixed too. It was a clear hand ball i could see it with my eyes closed. What about colombia winning the copa america in Colombia= FIXED. Colombia is terrible. Are you not seeing a trend here?

traditional 442 argentina traditiopnal formation is 3-5-2 with a 3-6-1 defencive and a 3-3-2-2 attacking formation….but the best possesion and out and out attacking football iv ever seen in my life was the 3-4-3 played under balasie it was magical top watch in the last cuppa americas and olympics godnows how argentina failed to win cuppa it was the gods helping brasil very poor brasil i might add in the final and the elbo on ayalas face allowing andriano to score was somehow over looked by the ref it was clearly a very bad and delibate foul and moments after he scored the linesman ran on the pitch to say foul and back up ayalas complaint but the ref didnt see it that way then the camara picks up fifas president and guess what he was standing near brasils hug out laffing his head off please if that does not have fix all over it then you are blind

I think we all have to believe these things aren’t fixed. That the balls were heated-up so Pele would draw Netherlands - conceivable, conceivable. That when Argentina loses to Germany in the ‘90 Final - bullshit penalty, conceivable. As for the rest - there’s good luck, bad luck, and subtle manipulations. I’m hoping these factors line-up favorably this time around.

Kris you must stop definitly drugs who can make you paranoîac ! If there was one World Cup who as been fix it was for sure Argentina 78.

I admitted that it was a fix because I am not blinded by what i am supposed to believe. There is no way that you can blow a call like the one the refs blew on Maradonas hand of God but its not Maradonas fault its Fifa. Open your eyes if anything that has happened in the last couple years hasnt made you suspicious you are Blind.

So athenes u believe the 78 was fixed but than after that all the sudden they became straight shooters in fifa. you make a great point…nooot.

I’m not sure to have understand your post Kris but anyway that’s not the point that I want to make now.
Admitting the eventualy theory of conspiracy against Argentina and the fact than your group is actualy the toughest of all. Why do you should care Kris ? Are you not as I perceived in your comments one of the best team in the world if not the best ? So you should not complain about the difficulty of your group and beat the 3 outsiders represent by Ivory Coast, Serbia-Montenegro and Netherlands to show to the rest of the world than Argentina is in Germany to win the world cup.
Argentina va salir campeon…Argentina va salir campeon!(cool video by the way from the God of Sunday as the napolitans fans were calling him)

Well if you did read my posts than you should note that i plainly say that Argentina is one of the best teams and should win there first round group BUT (there is a but) the second round is a much different story when you have to sweat the first round. People fail to realize that the world cup is partly endurance too bcuz of the closeness of the games. What i am saying is if you get stuck with Australia, Japan, and Croatia lets say out of random chance good luck your not going to be as exhausted for the rest of the competition. Fresh Legs is nice to have.
