I want Argentina to win it, but seen Dybala and Icrdi aren't going to the world cup due to Icardi shagging folks birds and Dybala not fitting into the system. Madness.

Dybala isn't going to the world cup?

Madness. Delighted to see Icardi missing out due to him being an odious prick who with the national team, can't even get a touch of the ball. Door's still slightly ajar for Dybala judging by Sampaoli's comments - but broadly, in terms of him not fitting the system, he's probably right.

The problem Sampaoli faces is that the Chile side he inherited took years to learn how to play under Bielsa. They ended up fantastically well drilled, so it was relatively easy for Sampaoli to take them on another stage by giving them more directness and edge. But Argentina's style has been a matter of confusion for many years now - so for the manager to turn them into winners in such a short time means he has to be really, really hard headed about who to leave out. If he compromises, they'll fail. I agree Dybala will end up going... but unless Messi gets injured, he won't feature.

So you just don't take him at all? That seems ridiculous. Or has he put Messi's nose out of joint and we have an Ibra situation

Messi rules the roost like Maradona did or as Ronaldo does: what they say goes. And Messi's favoured partner remains the tragicomic figure of Gonzalo Higuain. Dybala might well be their main man in 4 years' time, mind you - so I doubt they'll go the whole hog and alienate him completely.

I've just read a quote from Dybala saying they don't have a great relationship so it is clear what is going on there. Mhessi is a poisonous dwarf.

I remember watching Portugal go out in the first round in 2014 Ronaldo wouldn't even pass the ball to anyone.

It was a direct quote from him in the paper

Did anyone see the u21 game btw? Fucking dreadful - one of the worst performances I've ever seen.

Sky News just gave studio time to some no-mark Telegraph journalist that ripped into the 'Scottish Premier League' regarding players struggling to make the step up.
Some of the Championship and EPL dross fair no better. Indeed the better Premiership players will end up at one of those levels anyway. You only have to look at what Northern Ireland done with a large pool of players from up here. Ignorant scumbags given air time to rundown our game.
