00:00Argentina has a system.
00:01I wasn't clear because for many games I saw them and I was like,
00:04what are they playing at?
00:07What was their game?
00:09It was clear to me.
00:10Absorb, absorb, absorb pressure.
00:12Come on and be physical long enough to feel comfortable,
00:18kind of relaxed because they're winning.
00:19And then 10 minutes later, bringing this power out of nothing.
00:24It was very impressive.
00:25Now, I got to say, Mexico has something to learn from Argentina
00:29in terms of playing with a smaller stature.
00:33When we play up against the Englands and the Germanys of the world,
00:38four guys in the back, and it's hard to penetrate.
00:42Mexico, they couldn't penetrate the defense at the end of the game
00:45even though they had better handling.
00:48Argentina, very similar, has better handling,
00:51but they found the lanes.
00:54The long-distance shots.
00:55The long-distance shots.
00:59Mexico continued to put those balls across the box
01:03with not a lot of creativity.
01:06And the reality is that Argentina,
01:08that assist crossing,
01:10just pulling the whole team to the right,
01:12then doing that cross for Enzo Fernandez
01:14to drill a massive long-distance shot.
01:17And one of the things I saw from the Mexican players
01:20is reluctance.
01:21That Argentina doesn't hesitate.
01:24The liberal belief that has been growing and growing
01:27that we are able to do what's possible,
01:29you got to give it to them.
01:30You got to give it to them.
01:31And Messi, you know, like...
01:32Messi's amazing.
01:35But Messi, they're right there with us, dude.
01:38And to see someone past 39 years old,
01:42almost 40,
01:43playing probably top five players in the World Cup,
01:47like in energy.
01:50Like, he's been playing...
01:51Everybody came thinking
01:52just 30, 40 minutes per game,
01:54and he has played every single minute of every game,
01:57and he's not blowing down.
01:58He might play four years from now.
02:00He might play four years from now.
02:01He won't be as good.
02:03He could make the team,
02:04and he could provide a certain...
02:05He could, definitely.
02:05You know, like,
02:06maybe come play 10 minutes of Messi.
02:09But 44,
02:10it will be a stretch.
02:13Four years at his age,
02:14the number of injuries that can come,
02:17but...
02:17enforces for him.
02:18Right.
02:19Rumor has it that Casemiro,
02:20the Brazilian legend,
02:23might be...
02:24to the team.
02:24So, being from Miami,
02:26you know, I cheer for...
02:27I'll say this,
02:28overall, you know,
02:29taking the politics out of it,
02:30this has been a very successful World Cup.
02:32I appreciate more about the game.
02:34I appreciate some more about the game.
02:36You've been watching Copa Nation.
02:37I'll see you in the next one.
02:37I'll see you in the next one.
02:37I'll see you in the next one.
02:37I'll see you in the next one.
