Unprecedented greed and corruption prompted the failure of Argentina

Jorge Sampaoli was not the disease. It was just a symptom.
These words of Sebastian Fest in the La Nassion newspaper published as soon as Argentina was eliminated from the 2018 World Cup, were so embarrassing that they came to the very core of the problem, making a profound cut of every proposed apology from the corrupt governing body of the football that wearsto a great extent the blame for everything.
This rough road, which ended in the Russian city of Kazan in the hot summer of 2018, is only our current point of reference, but it all actually began in Buenos Aires back in time in 1978 after winning the first world cup of La Albiselle
On the Monumental field, while the captain of the country hosting the tournament, Daniel Pasarella, was raising his trophy over his head, there was a rising star in the Argentine Football Association (AFA);Julio Grondona. Only a year later he would be elected president of the headquarters, but hardly felt in the country ( still under the drunkenness of the tournament triumph, remembered quite bitterly in general) that from then on, they will follow almost 40 years of corrosivethe favorite game from live soccer of people corruption.

In order to understand the successes and failures of the Argentine team, they must be seen in the context of the AFA governing body;an organization long ago among the most corrupt and inadequate in world football, sinking just after Grondon`s death. The fact that he so long exercised his power with impunity is a blob on a great country, but even more terrifying is that, ultimately, only his corrupt government actually held the headquarters above the water, as is evident from the scandals after his death.
Take, for example, the failure of Argentina at this world championship -;a mixture of disorderly preparation, shameful resources (both financial and human at certain posi tions) and bad coaching. This is a thumbnail of AFA and it does not seem to improve things in the future even if Lionel Messi did not amaze the world with a decision not to give up for the second time from the national team.
With the presence of one of the oldest tournament teams, Argentina has shown what it would mean for her future to dismantle the young talents convoy to the men`s team. The Gauchers won the World Cup by 20 in 2001, 2005 and 2007. There were now 20 players in Russia, and seven of them were world champions 11 or 13 years ago, and only three of the last three teams in Mondiale to 20 (2011, 2015, 2017) in the current squad of Sampaoli played only two. This is an eloquent proof of the downfall of talent in the absence of a system for developing young talents and a clear direction from the football leaders.
Therefore, as Argentina`s Gold Generation should be defined this between 2010 and 2016, when world champions to-20 matured football. Howe ver, a glance at the winning major teams in the same period shows that the champions are countries with a clear long-term development plan:Spain (2010 and 2012), Uruguay (2011), Germany (2014) and Chile (2015 and 2016). Does this only highlight the lack of one on the part of AFA and the failure of the task to squeeze the maximum?

Messi is a real nightmare for Seville

Tonight, Barcelona meets Camp Nou Sevilla in the most interesting match of the 9th round of the Spanish Championship. Before the first match of the round yesterday, the Andalusians were leaders, but at the top, albeit perhaps in no more than 24 hours, Alayes settled down. Both Barca and Sevilla have the opportunity to go first tonight, and the Catalans will certainly be endlessly motivated to put an end to the unusual for the club series of 4 consecutive games without winning the championship. The fact that the match predicted by livescore hockey of Camp Nou is certainly not in favor of Sevilli, but there is even worse news for them - the Andalusian club is the favorite victim of Lone Culle superstar Lionel Messi. Namely, Sevilla is the team with the Argentine who scored the most goals in his career in all tournaments - 31 goals, realized in only 34 games.

Messi`s debut goal against Sevilla is on Oct. 15, 2006 - Barca defeats 3:1 and Argentine wore the 19th shirt, Marca recalls. When it comes to the Primera Division only, Messi has only 24 goals in the Sevilla door. The interesting thing here is that the record for the most hits in the Andalusian door in La Liga is held by Cristiano Ronaldo - 25.

Terror continues! Andy Murray did not even give a set to Goffin again

Former 1 in the world Andy Murray qualifies for the 1/4-finals of the Shenzhen Open in China. In a second-round match, the British-born Wild Card, who continued to look for his best form after a thigh injury, beat David Goffin (Belgium) with a 6:3, 6:4 driver and last year`s champion. Thus, the 31-year-old Scot scored the sixth win of six matches from archive of tennis predictions against the 11th in the ATP rankings at the time, Goffin. Moreover, the Belgian has not yet won a set against the two-time Olympic champion and three Grand Slam titles. Goffin is also the highest-ranked tennis player Murray wins after returning to the court in June after nearly a year`s absence from the tour.

Murray, who is currently the 311st in the world rankings, led with 4:1 in the first set, breaking through the fourth game. Goffin returned the breakthrough in the seventh game, but immedi ately after that he allowed a rebike, and this proved decisive in the first part. In the second set, Murray took a 3:0 lead and two breaks and then his lead was 5:1. Goffin, however, would close to a great turnaround, narrowing his gap to 4:5 and even having 3 break points for 5:5. Murray still put a point in the dispute with his first match and in a little more than an hour and a half of the game secured a seat in the next phase.

The Scot will argue for a semi-finals place with the Spanish veteran Fernando Verdasco or the Japanese Taro Daniel.

The nightmare for Curse continues

The left back of Paris Saint-Germain Lavin Curseau has not been lucky lately. Another bad news for him is that he had to undergo surgery on his back because of the disc herniation of one of his vertebrae. The club has announced that the intervention has passed, but it is not clear how long the player will be away from the field. But surely this will not happen this year.

Curseva has suffered injuries since last season, so he played only 20 games by live soccer in the campaign. His last official match is on May 4th, and he has not even recorded a minute in the matches of Parisians in this campaign. Also, he was regularly called in the national team of France, but this is no longer the case after the appearance of a video in which the defender offends the breeder Didier Deschan. He was jailed to pay 200, 000 euros to be unpublished, but the footballer refused to do so and the video sl id across the public space.


Because of his trauma last season, he was replaced on the left wing of the SSG defense of Athletic Bilbao-born Yuri Berchich, who was later left on his way, and in this most likely new addition to the French champion Juan Bernat will play that role.

Doncic 'dives in the deep waters'

Potential Choice No. 1 in this year`s NBA Dragon, Luka Doncic, will dive directly into the deep waters and will not train with team representatives who are interested in it. This was announced by his agent, Bill Duffy, adding that he does not believe this to be any problem for potential candidates for the services of the young Slovene star.

His play in the Euroleague talks enough. Both for skills and for their level of preparedness. His experience is quite different and more serious than his remaining peers. The Euroleague is the last step before the NBA, not Duffy.

Even if there is a desire for such training, Doncic`s program does not allow him anything like that. Real (Madrid) will play the Euroleague Final 4 in late May, and upon reaching the final in the Spanish Cup playoffs, the season for white will continue until the middle of June.

The 19-year-old Luka has 31 games by paid sport predictions in the Euroleague this season, and they shall otlichava with 16. 1 points, 4. 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 and 1. 1 steals.
