Fantastic comment. A1

the only high he had was losing 6-1 to Bolivia.... in La Paz's heights

As manager? No way As a player? He had a fantastic 3 year peak

Rip

The man still qualified for that 2010 WC though so he still did an okay job in my eyes

And it was a bang average veteran with no chance of international, not a borderline option. After he was called fans put a flag that said "Garcé come back with chocolates" that is a tipical tradition when people go out on holidays.

@@jmgpptt Garce trae alfajores

The sadest thing was that this defender was the only natural RB of the team. He was so bad, Maradona tried to move Otamendi and Burdisso (both CB) and Gutierrez (LM) to the RB through the cup. None of them were any good and still Garce did not play single minute. Meanwhile Zanetti was not picked. Otamendi as a RB was one of the worst players in the game with Germany that Argentina lost.

@@elr492 Not the only one, Clemente Rodriguez was also a natural RB who was in the squad

@@PaulMc660 I'd say he was LB that could play in the right as well, but he played most of his career at the left. Similar to Casco today, sure he can play RB but he always plays LB unless there is no RB. But yes, Clemente would have been an alternative. Still not calling Zanetti was completely absurd, but Maradona thought him and Cambiasso were bad luck (mufa). Preferred to take Garce and Bolatti.

Never heard of him

Bros got a World Cup now

nostalgia from the fans

That could be the plot of another Mike Bassett Movie

HITC could make a video imagining what might happen.

@@senorsoupe have always wanted to see that movie looked a right lol

Now that would be something 😂

He'd probably send the whole squad out for a wild night just before the Euros Final 😂😂

I still think the reason Schweinsteiger and Muller fucking hate Argentina so much is because of that. They've destroyed us time and time again

Dylan Yung nah they’re just good players and wanted to win even if they love Argentina I doubt they’d play worse just so Argentina can win. I don’t think there is much hatred for any particular country

@@delk1299 ​ @Dylan Yung maybe Germany as a whole don't really like Argentina. Hate is a really strong word. Cause during 2006 WC, Argentines after final whistle got in a pointless brawl and Frings got screwed for no reason where he got booked. With him, Germany would have probably beaten Italy cause he was one of the best players with Ballack. In 2010, Muller got screwed with a yellow ,ruling him out. Messi should have been booked there instead of him. Muller was arguably one of the best players in 2010WC and he would have made a huge difference against Spain. Maybe this would be 2 reasons but idk lol

@@delk1299 Muller and Schweinsteiger are not even worthy of cleaning Maradona's shoes, after they retire they will be forgotten forever, Schweinsteiger already is completely irrelevant. I think they are jealous of Maradona's legacy as a player. I would say it's inferiority complex.

Muller you mean the space interpreter

I’d say sampaoli was worse than maradona

Spain was quite strong

@@homersimpson6585 of course Sampaoli was worse. Maradona is a terrible coach but at least he brought us to quarterfinals. Sampaoli almost got us knocked out in the group stage

@@LechuKawaii Bielsa got knocked out in the Group Stage, doesn't make him worse than Maradona

@@homersimpson6585 Sampa is an idiot but his squad was far more limited than in 2010. In 2010 Aguero Di Maria Higuain Mascherano were household names that were a world sensation. By 2018 most of them had already been cursed for the NT and underperformed massively.

Really?? You can't believe an obese drug and alcohol abuser with heart problems passed away!!!

@@shubhalgupta8875 bruh..

Our expectations for you were but... HOLY FUCK!

Loll that boy was wearing all of Albuquerque's wall paintings.

hey! not fair, tie is pretty cool tbh I own one like those

Isn't surprise me he is known to take substances that affect thinking well

Samuel too

@@sidneysun3865 Samuel did take part on South Africa 2010's list. He got injured on the second match against Korea and that was it for him.

Here in Argentina it's always about "recambio" or refreshing/renovation as I can translate so cambiado and Zanetti were too old and from a generation that failed before according to most people's opinions. We are dumb like that here , I guess that's what happens when you have to many winning players around the world

@@mondrometal I get the thinking but if you want to win the WC you have to pick the best players available and regardless of their past failures Zanetti was still the best Argentinian full back in 2010 and Cambiasso was still a top midfielder. I honestly still think that had you picked a coach who knew what he was doing Argentina could've won it that year.

I know right!!! And sad thing is rather than discuss the video people are making new video requests🤦

@@gabrielnemirovsky421 bruh Sabella is the best argentina's coach since Bilardo

@@franciscogerbi2631 I think he was speaking of Jorge Sampaoli.

@Martin Oscar Barboza sabella need to change tactics bcuz messi,aguero and higuain come to WC with injuries,messi with 1 years of waist injurie,aguero and higuain with ankles injuries,the worst part was di maria injurie in midle of WC

If Netherlands won the penalty shoot out sabella would be remembered even less

now hes dead 😭😭😭

We love players being ''termos'' and think that it shows they deserve a spot for the NT even if they do jack at games.

Basically Tottenham Hotspur

Lmao

Bayer Leverkusen in 2002 would be up there, a fine squad of players, lost everything at the final hurdle

@@afcjonny1 AC Milan in 2005

Bayern 2012

And that he said that he had his first time with a guy

That's the funniest 🤣shit I ever heard about Pele

Nah

I don't think so purely because you can say that about most argentine squads. Particularly 2002/2006, those squads were stacked, even in defense which is a spot Argentina is constantly lacking at. But a bad Group Stage and a Lehmann on god mode prevented it

Hyde Hill so the team would have been better if the team was better😳

@@delk1299 Yeah same here, i too think argentina of 2006 was just brilliant, they weren't dependent on any one player.

Right now I think they’re actually giving time to Lionel Scaloni to build his team.

They had a good coach that managed to get them to a WC final, it's not his fault that his supposed best player flopped and lost in extra time, most Argentina coaches managed to get the team to a final, after that the only common thing was Messi flopping. The problem was never the coach.

@@1997lordofdoom lol

Your observation is true but I highly doubt more time would've changed anything for Maradona. In hindsight he should've been given the job after the world cup with a 2 year contract and if he flops replace him with enough time to hire a new person or they could've hired him for the Copa America which is less important than the world cup.

​@@airslayer1564 and that paid off

The gods unanimously voted no on that happening 🤣🤣

So this is how you are going to remember him?

@Juan José Oñate You sound like an American who was thrown out of Cuba by Castro and co.

@Juan José Oñate haha that name, america seems to still be doing a great Job at dividing the poor latin people xdddd but this time its for free... sad

@Juan José Oñate hur dur communism bad

Link?

Juan José Oñate still better than the Republic of Germany

Your assumption is right. Argentina hosted the 2011 Copa América and under Batista they barely made it through the group stage only to be eliminated by rivals, Uruguay, who themselves would go on and win the tournament. Sabella, the guy who was hired after Batista was pretty good though

@@bjehulk This. Batista's Argentina played like a low rent version of Barcelona. Lots of sideways passing, but not much real creativity in that team

Kenny Blankenship Batista (and Maradona too), also wasted Messi. His formation forced Messi deeper into the midfield and it didn’t allow him to be a big enough part of the attack as he should’ve been. I mean just look at the stats. Messi scored 0 goals at both the 2010 World Cup and the 2011 Copa América. But under different managers and different formations, Messi scored 4 goals at the 2014 World Cup and 5 at the 2016 Copa Centenario.

@@bjehulk This is insightful. I tend to feel that managers shouldn't have that much influence over a player's performance but I guess the numbers don't lie.

He had won gold medals with the Olympic team...but just didn't achieve much with the proper National Team...managing youth and adults is indeed a very different piece of work!

At least 4 of those are Argentina: Argentina 2015-2018, Argentina 2004-2011, Argentina 1995-2002, Argentina 1990-1994.

@@LaBandaRoja9 i was just about to mention it hahhaha

Then again fielding one holding Midfielder against that Germany squad was.... questionable at best

Yeah..about that "shielding" Have you ever heard about the 6-1 match in bolivia?? Up until that point Maradona publicly said that Carrizo was his keeper..he had all the faith in the world in him Turns out, a week after the massacre, he went out saying his main GK was Andújar, that he never had any doubs about it...while Carrizo (with just a couple of matches) was never called up again The end

@@spdutahraptor777 I didn’t know about that.

I disagree, they had a great team but than Spain team was something else

@@canarycatchup yeh

Canary Catch-Up Spain was no doubt an overall better team, but if Argentina had the manager who was able to build a team around Messi, kinda like how Pep structured Barcelona from 2009-2012, I think they would’ve had a chance to beat Spain. I mean directly after the World Cup, Argentina beat Spain 4-2 in a friendly. Sure it was just a friendly but this Argentina team had some serious talent.

Nah, even with 10 Messi playing they're still leagues behind that Spain team that dominated international football for 5 years.

@@canarycatchup That Spain team also lost to Switzerland. Incredible? Yes. Invincible? Not a chance.

@Juan José Oñate I don't disagree on the lack of talent. But I'm interested in what Alfie can pull from the depths of the archives. There are also plenty of teams that lack talent and go on these incredible runs. Also #noerapenal.

The tie he is wearing at 0:42 is the low point of his post-playing career

@@AndresNavaHurtado La neta si era penal, rafa no tuvo por que meter ese pisotón ya robben habia perdido el balon

@Joe Dirt’s Mullet hell no they r not 😂😂😂trust me although I do agree gallardo was really good

How can anyone be shocked? Cocaine and shitty lifestyle kills pretty fast

Yeah, this is a really sore spot for some fans. Riquelme was THE #10 for Argentina, THE playmaker, but due to some drama between him and Maradona, that was the end. It's sad, he deserved one more world cup. Veron apparently had trouble with Maradona as well during the world cup - this eventually lead to a public argument between the two years later, at a friendly for charity. No joke.

Juan riquelme was some player

Riquelme was on his prime un 2010 :(

@@Kenny-Blankenship Argentinian here! Maradona seems to have left the 2010 squad with several feuds among players and HIS OWN STAFF, just like he seems to have beef with almost every player from his generation. The guy is a piece of work.

@@laurocoman I like your Username! 👍🏻🙂😎

@HIM1984 he really didn't have the 2010 inter players in the squad? that makes no sense

I've always wondered the same thing.

The link is both work for HITC.

@@yourdadhasadogfilter2505 to be honest the serie a 11 is very good

German Burgos, lol.

Yea I feel like in Football managers use bad tactics and gameplan and the team loose but the players end up getting the blame by fans and the media

Unbalanced talent was the biggest factor i think. Argentina need to nurture their kids to think that football is not all about scoring or attacking. 2010 was totally the worst, they could have 11 players full of at least good central/supporting strikers, but only 1 or 2 at most decent player in other positions...

Maradona has no emotional control and is generally a shitty person. He acts out like a child and really shouldn't even be considered capable of taking on the responsibilities of a team's janitor.

@@gibospartan6185 I'm presuming you're English before asking u the question that follows, excuse me if you're not. Why is it English people always turn into a cross between the St. Peter and Judge Judy whenever they refer to Maradona? My guess is you're niether St. Peter, Judge Judy nor one of the greatest footballers that the planet has produced. Still you judge him on his imperfections and fail to acknowledge his genius. That sir, is a loser's mentality. 😊

​@@ChrisMeerkat In fact I am english and I believe many english people may dislike him purely based on his success as a footballer. I personally recorgnise his insane talent and his place as one of the greatest footballers of all time. Few have come close to his skill and that should not be in any doupt. Regardless, off the pitch he acts like a child and I think he is an absolute asshole. 'Still you judge him on his imperfections and fail to acknowledge his genius' As you said, I very much judge his imperfections. However while I didn't mention it in my previous comment, he was a footballing genius and I wouldn't deny that. I just think that being one of the best footballers to ever live does not excuse hims for being an asshole. Sure, every football fan is passionate about their club and their players and we put them up on pedistals, but at the end of the day, the way people treat each other is far more important than any accolade.

@@gibospartan6185 There is no denying the man's talent or passion and the respect he has outside of England. Trust me, he's a living God. You can't deny his passion. If i were manager of Argentina, i would appoint him just to give a motivational speech at the end of the half time talk before sending them back out. He didn't fail as a manager through lack of knowledge or passion. I'd keep him clear of tactics and fitness tho. Nobody has the skill to understand his tactics or the heart to take his kind of fitness regim other than him. To me his personal life is his business, shame he couldn't play longer tho. The skill of Messi, the acuracy of Ronaldo and the flare of Ronaldinho.
