@ giggs I do not think so most of the European teams are overhyped nothings else
rodrigo de paul is unlike what you normally see in argentine players... he's tall... stamina is on another level... i think scaloni decided to play the 'usual' super-sub angel di maria from the start, with the calculation that di maria will get long balls from de paul or paredas... and that goal moment was just hilarious... de paul gets the ball, messi is standing beside, fred and casemeiro step up knowing that de paul would pass to messi but what happens is de paul takes 3 steps forward and 4th is the long ball to di maria... later you see him giving out his life to block neymar... really impressed by him, for me he should have been the man of the match... cristian romero is also another potential... he was judged the best serie a defender last season... that shows how talented he is... i too am a harsh critic of otamendi, solely because he is prone to mistakes... but today, he gave it his best... scaloni is turning argentina into the italian team of the 90's... counter-attack, score, defend till end... not something you ascribe to jogo bonito but today's win was 20 without a loss... brazil having 70+ minutes in hand yet not able to score that too in maracana shows that scalonicks did work out today... good that the wc is just around the corner... hope arg takes the momentum forward...Originally Posted by bilal john

goalkeeper is perfect... in defence satisfied with montiel and romero... pazzella needs big game expwrience... would prefer a change of otamendi... acuna and tagliafico are just okayish... in midfield, rodrigo and lo celso are the best available... guido or paredas should up their game a bit.. strikers messi is the only guarantee... not fully confident of lautaro... don't know if scaloni has dybala or pavlon in mind... what argentina should do is, before 2022, get some friendlies played against italy, england, denmark, spain, czech republic...
my both predictions won.....

Lionel Messi is not just the favorite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, he’s becoming the prohibitive favorite. He was already the one the betting companies were behind prior to winning the Copa América, and event since have only turbo boosted him further.
Messi already has six of the sport’s top individual honor, a record. But he is looking likelier and likelier to secure his seventh.
His odds were already quoted at 2/1 (implied odds: 33.34%) before either the Copa América or Euro final, and now they are at an impressive 1/2 (implied odds: 66.67%). Having won that elusive major honor with Argentina, in addition to top assister, top goalscorer, and best player, Messi has cemented a huge season.
Messi also has the most goal contributions this year, with 33 goals and 14 assists, for a total of 49. Robert Lewandowski is second, with 34 goals and 4 assists, for a total of 38.
Messi did not win La Liga last season, but he was instrumental in FC Barcelona’s Copa del Rey success.
At the beginning of last month, Kylian Mbappé was seen as the Ballon d’Or favorite. However, he was not good at the Euros and missed a crucial penalty that sent France home. Lewandowski was in second place, and another Frenchman, N’Golo Kanté, in third. Kanté’s bid depended on following up an UEFA Champions League win with Chelsea with European glory with France, but his chances plummeted when Mbappé missed.
Several other potential candidates who depended on a win at the Euros to cement their bid crashed out such as Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal and Kevin de Bruyne for Belgium. Out of the rubble, a few new candidates emerged such as Harry Kane for England and Jorginho for Italy.
However, the Euro final was not the kind of big step they needed to catch up with Messi’s tournament win and individual accolades. Kane was not able to continue scoring or make a run for the tournament Golden Boot, and he lost the final. Jorginho did win the final, but he didn’t really sparkle and missed a chance to definitively win it for Italy by missing his penalty in the shootout. Gianluigi Donnarumma being named the tournament’s best player was good for Messi’s odds as well, as he is not considered a Ballon d’Or candidate.
As it stands, Messi is the mega favorite. Lewandowski and Ronaldo are considered to be second and third favorites, but they will have a difficult time catching up after all the major silverware has already been handed out this year.
