Sorry Barandeye Jan, But this is the second time you are posting a thread that does not belong in the persian football forum.

Mods, please move this thread to the WC forum.

Thats stupid of him. He is an AMAZING tactical coach, but makes too many mistakes in his subs. Why is Cruz even in the f***in squad!

Messi would be subbed in 100% if Abondanzieri wasn't hurt!

[police in helicopter]

I don't understand how you can bench Messi.

pekerman thinks like a team..he wants to field the best TEAM not the best 11 players..however I and I think pekerman too knows Messi is the most talented Argie.

If only Branko was like this..

[Rooz]

we all think it was a mistake.

but he's coach and he made the decisions for a reason. just like branko had a reason for not taking daei off - he's be killed if not

A shame for football...when the coaches decision has cost the most deserving side of the world cup trophy. That is when you have to say that over-coaching is killing the game.

that's beside the point...he should have been subbed in 100% even though Abondazieri was injured.

Cruz for Crespo was a wasted substitution and Cambiasso for Riquelme, even worse than that...a negative and ultimately poor one.

He consulted with Branko Ivankovic.
