Costa Rica vs Argentina: More Than A Friendly Match

Tuesday March 29 2011,
Tags: Ricardo La Volpe, Sergio Batista, Lionel Messi
Tensions have already risen ahead of the Costa Rica vs Argentina friendly match at the New National Stadium, with coaches of both countries not being linked with the best of relationships.
Costa Rica coach Ricardo La Volpe reportedly felt insulted by Argentina’s Sergio Batista back in 2006, during his times at Boca Juniors. The former goalkeeper—who managed the Mexico national football team during the 2006 World Cup also received a contract with Velez Sarsfield later on, but unsuccessful runs with Los Xeneizes and El Fortin left Batista to question Ricardo’s ability to deal with Argentinean football.

The current boss of Los Albicelestes’ statement years ago certainly did not please La Volpe, who recently told TyC Sports—and Argentinean TV station: "In the past, he (Batista) said that I had to get used to Argentinean football.

New Zealand vs Honduras Preview

Friday October 8 2010,
Tags: New Zealand, Honduras, International Friendly Match
New Zealand vs Honduras: Here’s a match which will actually see two 2010 World Cup underdogs clash for an interesting international friendly match.
Neither New Zealand nor Honduras passed beyond the group stages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. But, the All Whites certainly gained more positives than Los Catrachos – having not tasted defeat in South Africa.

New Zealand even drew Italy 1-1 in a match where less controversy might have seen the underdogs prevailing over four-time world cup winners, the Azzurri. Generally speaking, the Oceanic nation earned more respect and encouragement from the public considering how much they had improved on their disastrous 2009 Confederations Cup campaign.

On the contrary, Honduras experienced failure throughout their short adventure in South Africa. Their display against Spain was totally unconvincing – if not terrible.

Japan’s Zaccheroni Criticizes Poor Mindset Ahead Of Argentina Friendly

Nothing successful comes through poor minded people, and Japan’s new coach Alberto Zaccheroni is very much aware of that as his team prepares to face Argentina in a friendly.
The manager will at last experience his first match in charge of the Samurai Blue. Zac had to miss Japan’s games against Paraguay and Guatemala, which both ended in victory for the Asian side; that was due to visa problems. Finally, Coach Alberto Zaccheroni will have to lead Japan against 2010 World Cup quarter-finalists Argentina on Friday.

Although 25 places separate Argentina from thirtieth-placed Japan in the Coca Cola Fifa Rankings, Zac believes that his men have no right to fear the Albiceleste. After announcing his squad, the Italian told the media:

“We shouldn’t be afraid of Argentina. It’s wrong to go out there with an all-defensive frame of mind. My goal is to build a team skilled both on the offensive and defensively.”

Argentina vs Spain - International Friendly Match Preview

Tuesday September 7 2010,
Tags: Argentina, Spain, Messi, International Friendly
Sergio Checho Battista's second test will have the Albiceleste receiving home Fury's World Champions.

 Argentina and Spain will play one of the hottest matches of the week. Almost 80% of the players on the field belong to Spain's La Liga, and so this game will have a particular flavor for many Argentinean players. Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain, Javier Mascherano and many others will be looking forward to taking the crown off Roja's head.. will they make it?

Brave new Argentina

Diego Maradona had trouble throughout his whole time as Argentina's coach to understand how to balance and harmonize the powers of his squad, and Sergio Batista adopted a less offensive perspective to make the best of the Gauchos. Two European champions return to the starting eleven, Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso, to sharpen Argentina's defense and contribute with experience on the needed places. Zanetti's call was subject to certain critics by local media, as Argentina is clearly lacking powerful wingers and the coach should be giving opportunities to the most promising defenders rather than relying on players that would most likely not make to to the next World Cup. Il Capitano, on the other hand, appears to be invulnerable to the pass of time, maintaining the same level and finesse that made him a legend in Milan.

Argentina vs Spain International Friendly Match: Lionel Messi’s Predictions

Tuesday September 7 2010,
Tags: Argentina, Spain, Friendly Match, Lionel Messi, Copa America
Argentina and Spain will lock horns in an international friendly match next week and Lionel Messi has shared his predictions with the public. Messi expects an attacking match as he is ready to take a lot of experience from the encounter.

Argentina's Lionel Messi celebratingIn November 2009, Spain and Argentina faced each other in a friendly meeting as well. La Furia Roja benefited from Xabi Alonso’s brace as they ran away with a 2-1 victory at the Vicente Calderon in Madrid. Lionel Messi scored from the spot two minutes after the hour mark to equalize Alonso’s 16th minute opener. However, the former Liverpool midfielder had the last say as he grabbed the match winner with a penalty goal four minutes from time.

On September 7, the match will take place at El Monumental in Buenos Aires and this factor should be a plus for Argentina to carry the day. Expressing his thoughts to the media, Lionel Messi predicted:

“It is going to be an open game between two sides that try to play well. We will try to control the ball and I think he have what it takes to do so.

England vs Hungary – International Friendly Match Preview

Tuesday August 10 2010,
For the first time since suffering a controversial but humiliating 4-1 defeat to continental rivals Germany in the Last 16 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, England’s national football team player will take the field.

England fans booing.They will entertain Hungary at the Wembley Stadium in an atmosphere which promises to be frustrating… thanks to likely boos from English supporters.

England had a really nice run in terms of results during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. But the momentum they built during that period counted for nothing in South Africa. The Three Lions’ adventure was a perfect nightmare.

Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard… the list of top rated English Premier League stars is long; the England team is actually a star-studded side aside from the fact that they are yet to find a top first choice keeper.
