[@gRIO904]

You're wrong about Martinez, he's a nice guy outside the pitch.

[@sterlingmarshel6299]

you guys have no clue about Emi - he is an excellent teammate at Villa. You can't criticize someone who comes up big in the biggest moments

[@arnikaprodriguez9957]

Agreed💯 Lalas should take that back. On the FOX post game Alexi called him a jerk and in this podcast he up'd it to A-h. I hope Dibu continues to anger Lalas who continuously mispronounces CONMEBOL

[@jayjimenez8987]

Briefly met Emi in the United States the summer after the World Cup. He's a pretty nice guy and is good with fans.

[@omare7475]

Fun fact: Martinez talks to a psychologist just before every game.

[@jorgemansilla9043]

And I can tell you , his teammates do not just roll their eyes at his antics. They love it. He is the lord of the 6yard box. 🇦🇷

[@MeatVision]

Oh my god, we (Argentina) played like absolute trash. Now, the field was a disaster, on each pass you could see the ball bouncing like crazy

[@andrewjacques8275]

Actually is bad for both teams,so no excuses

[@RainerRilke3]

@@andrewjacques8275 Argentina's defense is not really good. They need the long possession game to defend with the ball and make up the difference in physical. And also all other teams left at this point rely more on high pressure and exploiting mistakes, so they don't really have to adjust their attack style much.

[@Jenny-ll7tn]

Why is Dibu Martinez criticized so much? Is it because he dances? Is because he gets bigger when that moment comes? Why when any player scores a goal he can dance and celebrate even in the opposition crowd he is not criticized??? But when Emi Martinez dance because he stoped a goal and dance, it is so wrong?? Why this double standard? Is very hypocritical! Their teammates LOVES HIM!

[@josefradetzky4246]

Dibu is the boss

[@ricomajestic]

Ecuador has a great team!

Lol, no Dibu's (i.e., Emi's) Argentinian teammates do not roll their eyes at his antics, they celebrate him! Glad to have him for sure.

[@mauriceortiz1557]

Both teams played a great match!! Congratulations to both teams :-)

[@pikachuuprising637]

The USSF should take note from the Ecuadorians who are now looking for a new coach.

[@s3rg10arg6]

It is difficult to play on a field that seems more to plant beans than to play soccer. Argentine players, having better technical quality, need the field to be in optimal conditions and the ball to go fast and if it jumps, Enzo is coming from an operation and is with little football, Messi is playing practically injured and even so it is a pleasure to see him play. Ecuador played very well, it was a typical South American clash.

[@gastonluna1227]

everyone playing on the same field buddy, Argentina has had 4 mediocre performances already this tournament...

you nail it, i was in the stadium and i couldnt believe how bad the field was!!

[@GregoryWright-dh9rh]

Ecuador deserved a better fate. One of the better clubs in the Copa.

i wonder when a brave reporter is going to talk about the terrible conditions of the field every game.

[@aminaniyubushbozi5799]

There's no such easy path in Football😂😂 lol

[@sisazandisile1337]

Argentina were unable to click in this game , they could not handle the transitions and the press

[@xaviergough9359]

Enzo was unfit making all kinds of terrible passes and losing posession. De Paul is in decline as a player, and Nico Gonzalez is not starter material. Simple as that.

[@rockstepguy3524]

Ecuador learned from Uruguay a bit, press the midfield and force them to pass tha ball, eventually they will make a mistake, and then you attack. Once the midfield is neutralized the reality is that Argentina has very little to do, since Messi is not getting the ball to make godlike plays and he doesn't wanna run for it, that is why Argentina in reality plays with 10 players on the field sometimes.

[@davidnoriega8723]

It is not that "...Messi is not getting the ball..." but that he feels the ball has to come to him. The comment that "...Argentina plays with 10 men" is accurate.

[@bobnandez]

Alexis Lalas played in Emelec from Ecuador. Greetings. 🇪🇨

[@Fernando-tr7ki]

This Argentinan team looks like the water down version of the 2022 world champs

[@miguelvillega]

Dibu Messi and many others member of the Argentine squad got something in common Sacrifice since very young age, so tough having to leave your family and Home at 10 11 years old so you became adult at very young age for better or worse and for the TEAM that is a TEAM like super heroes with different super powers so depending the "Villain" DR Scalonni will choose who will jump the fight (Remember that Julian Alvarez Nick name is "The Spider" lol) and the last but not least of the secret is UNION Something that missing to see lately lack of real union in any aspect of our life's and UNION make this team do everything possible Brother in arms, As a fellow Argentine i feel very please and i recognize Argentines are not famous for humbleness bad every rule have an exception ans thank you Lionel Scaloni and the Whole Team even Gonzalito "the Kisser". Viva el Futbol

[@kkita4all]

Ecuador , certainly knows how to compete. At least within South American teams.

[@fedorjmb]

yeah GOICOCHEA WAS A SHOWSTOPPER AT PENALTIES AS DIBU IS TOO

[@xaviergough9359]

Possibly, but Dibu is undefeated in penalty shootouts with Dibu.

[@TheDoctor2112]

Dibu Martinez... its to Messi like Goycoexhea to Maradona ❤

[@grinchoi1]

Argentina midfield was completely outplayed. They kept giving the ball away

[@benjsmithproductions]

So gutted for Ecuador

[@crietonfightin899]

Ecuador was knocking at the door the whole game

Great podcast thank you.

THE BEST

[@GuillermoPaz]

Lalas is So wrong about Dibu. He's such a good guy.

[@giuliac9735]

Off the field? He literally went to comfort and hugged the other goalkeeper after the game was over, when his teammates were celebrating.... 🙄

[@v0n1b0]

On the fourth one he went too far too, but if he'd raised his knee another two or three inches, that also would have been a save.

[@USmensnationalteam]

USMNT needs a goal keeper a crazy world class goal keeper like Martinez. David Ochoa is dual national has that crazy goal keeper personality. LAFC recently signed goalkeeper David Ochoa in 2024 as a backup.

[@GuillermoPaz]

Goycochea was an amazing penalty stopper, but Dibu is an overall great goalkeeper who is slso the best at penalty stopping

[@daconnoisseurrex1752]

Ecuador got ballers .. they are not even in their prime .

[@gersonavila387]

Argentina only respects Uruguay at this point. Uruguay players are tougher and meaner than the Argentinians and they know it. They also have the master tactician. And they know it too.

[@US-px7wc]

Master Coach also is Argentinian!

[@detonator2112]

Aside Dibu Martinez, how is it that Argentina and Germany almost always (yeah sure there was the Chile 2016 loss but they have a smashing record in World Cup history) win their penalty shootouts and countries like England and Spain always lose them (well England has one win in recent history but that is against Spain LOL).

[@gaussiano]

What happens on the field stays on the field. You are not a country with a football culture, but you must have the same situation in another sport that makes you understand. What dddibu does is normal and completely valid. In fact, that is the true essence of foubol: competition, mockery, etc.

[@zandoleemedia9272]

You guys a so romanticized with Argentina you can't unbiasedly analyze a game that pretty much saw Ecuador out play Argentina.

[@theomarcus]

I wasn't impressed by Argentina. Their tactics of near constant arguing and feigning fouls do not make for fun games to watch recently - seem to be making up for lack of flow and cohesion. Their saving grace is Martinez who is currently one of the greats in his position. I have been much more impressed by Columbia and Uruguay this tournament. Unless we see a fully healthy Messi, I don't see them winning it all...

[@enohpius2212]

Messi still the greatest footballer ever in history.

[@davidnoriega8723]

But Messi is past his prime.

[@hombregris794]

Argentina was not precise and it was the weakest match they had, to give an extra piece of information, I tell you that Messi did not recover from an injury and Enzo Fernandez He had an operation a few months ago and was never the same again. Ecuador is a very tough opponent and plays well.

[@Nmp1123]

Argentina was the better team? This is why the US will never get better for having these type analysis

[@carloslerman]

Probably the worst Argentina game in the whole tournament. I don’t see how you guys saw Argentina dominating this game?

[@FalconPunch-ee5cm]

Argentina was lucky

[@wesdug7151]

That's the second game I saw that and the other team loaded up the midfield and Scaloni could not adjust. Enzo was playing bad Locesco should be in already Nico Gonzalez should have been Sub. try Ganacho and tell him to defend I don't know why Dimaria didn't play.

Without the beautiful long pass from the corner by Messi to Mcallester, then to Martinez, Argentina wouldn’t have scored a single goal in the nominal time. Keep in your Pendu mind that: If Messi didn’t score, he assisted! If Messi didn’t assist, he created chances!
