There is a big difference in the way Messi has to play in Barca vs the NT. Barca players provide Messi outlets to use his incredible passing range, those one two's and most importantly they give him the ball. Conversely on the NT, he is surrounded by full blown ball hogs who fail miserably in understanding the concept of a team game. You give Di Maria or Aguero a ball anywhere near 30 yards from the goal, I'll guarantee it that 9/10 they will put their heads down and try to go for goal. It's no wonder that Argentina looked so good before Gaitan and Fernandez got injured, it was because waste of space Biglia, who may as well have been a spectator, forgets he is a midfielder and basically just stand there aimlessly for the whole match whereas Agusto had great movement positioning and got the ball to Messi. Same is the case with Di Maria/Aguero instead of Gaitan. Gaitan actually looked up to see if there was someone in a better position or if shooting was a better option, when was the last time you saw the abovementioned braindead idiots do that?
Portugal may not be WC on paper but if you actually look at their games, you'll see how much the team works as a whole for their forward players. I'd take a team, a real team with good plays, over a squad full of WC players without any sort of teamplay

Italy has just shown the best example of teamplay. No players with big names, but man are they a strong unit. Spain had no answer to them today. Tactically perfect and excellent execution.

No players with big names??? Where have you been Bennie? Buffon, Chellini, Bunnoci, Brazagli, Darmian, Motta, De Rossi, these are all big names

On paper Italy has the strongest defense in the Euros if not the world

Yes, none of these are big name players. Doesn't make them bad players. All these players are team-players. You will not see them conjure up individually magical performances like Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Hazard, Ronaldo etc. On paper, this team is nothing compared to the Italy of the past with maestros like Totti, Del Piero, Pirlo, Cannavaro.

So I stand by my statement. And yes, this defence is hands down the strongest.

@hotgamerft: Just Englol being Englol. :tv: Nothing surprising here. Englol has been a low-tier team for decades now, I don't know why every tournament they are hailed as the most likely contenders...

So Wales in the semi's. Arsenals fav Ramsey will be missing the next match the decisive one, the one who was the real playmaker.

Tomorrows match im keen in watching. Machines vs prowess.

GERMANY all the WAY, just as i did back Chile in the Copa America, hope Germany wins the Euro too.

England had a decent team this time, i didn't think they would go far but going out to iceland was a shock

P.S. What a performance by wales, Portugal vs Wales will be an interesting one

If Portugal manage to draw against Wales and advance on penalties, it will be even more of a travesty than it already is. The only team to reach the semi final without winning a single game. Mindblowing
