Obviously meltdowns for Brazil this convincing loss considering the quality they do have on the park.
Its the heaviest loss to their bitter rival since 1964 !
Alot of talk re coaching lack of direction - interesting read for the Grazer types.

"In some ways, this was worse than the 7-1. At least that World Cup semifinal defeat to Germany 11 years ago can be put down to an emotional collapse in a mad few minutes. But Brazil's 4-1 defeat to Argentina on Tuesday -- their heaviest loss to its rival since 1964 -- was 90 minutes of unrelenting humiliation. The gulf between the two teams was frankly embarrassing.

Styles make fights, as the boxing writers like to say. This showdown in Buenos Aires was always going to be a clash of approaches -- a team that loves to maneuver the ball around the midfield against an opponent that seemed to regard central midfield as an optional extra."

Shambolic Brazil shown up by bitter rivals Argentina

Outpassed, outfought and thoroughly outcoached. Brazil plunged to new lows in its humiliating 4-1 loss to bitter rival Argentina in a World Cup qualifier Tuesday.

In the 17 matches of the previous set of qualifiers, Brazil conceded only six goals. In 14 rounds so far, it has given up 16.

Yeah great match... Scalloni has the Argies humming, on another level.... Maccas goal was crafted in Anfield .. could see that coming from miles away but the Brazilian defence was just awful... Ive always been an Argentina fan but they are shaping up for a back to back final appearance I reckon ...
 
yer as mentioned in the article, Argies are mature and pumping on all cyclinders !
Macca is class, now thats a box to box modern day midfielder - sweet goal yer could see it coming.
Agree always liked the argies more than the brazilians as well.
They got near on the complete playing style that ticks my box's of play.
Abilty, finesse, agression and massive passion on their sleeves.
What was good also they carried on without the little master Messi.
They sure could do back to back would be massive but we wait and see.
Last back to back was Brazil
'58
'62

Just a random thought but Diego won the Mundial in 86, then played in a WC final in ITALY while he was also playing club football there and lost ..... How much pressure will it be on Messi if he faced the same situation next year... If he comes out and asks MLS fans to cheer for Argentina and NOT for the US???
 
you had to bring up '90 :( and DM.

Pressure and Messi he's managed and delivered it most of his career, will be no diff to him and I expect the Miami supporter growth would be heaps of argie usa living as well as any other following other franchise's - he won't need ot ask anything they will just follow period.

I find it so interesting when Saudi and Qatar are struggling. They can buy world cups but they can't buy football wins china as well. It's like football is still somewhat pure on the pitch where the lads have to win it and the suits have no say on it

Qatar is the interesting one to me.
Same with Egypt historically.

To win the two Asian Cups either side of a home World Cup, and struggle at that World Cup so much, astounds me.

Thanks
Luved watching the highlights again.
What a perfect ball for Macca to run on and flick in !
They are class as was the 4th angled shot goooooooooooooooooooooooal !
I realised what their weak link is ?!
Bloody Anges Romero and doesn’t say it all.
That lazy play was shocking that level !

Wish we had the kind of play and commentary madness.
 
Paraguay second goal was fantastic.

Colombia have dropped a lot recently.
