Sorry, I also disagree

Argentina is a beast team considering strikers. Messi is obvious, but they also have Agüero (PL top scorer), Tevez and Higuain (3rd and 4th Serie A top scorers with 20 and 18 goals each) and Lavezzi, who is not at that level but certainly is a great player. While none of them is a "poacher", except maybe for Higuain, with that kind of numbers they certainly dont need to be one.

Bacca and Jackson Martinez had great seasons, but Falcao did not (just 4 goals). Besides, while I am certain that Martinez is a beast, he playes in Portugal, not on the same level as La Liga/Serie A/Premier so Im not sure If one could put him above Tevez or Higuain.

The Arg strikers could well be at least top 2 in most, if not all, of Copa America teams

 

Now, I think that except for the strikers, Colombia has a better team than Argentina, but Argentinians Strikers are so good that they could compensate and put Arg in front of Colombia if they play against each other.

Thhe only handicap Colombia got, is their coach. Argentina defense sucks and Jackson playing in Portugal does not mean jack sh*t.

He was one of the highest scorers of Champions League. Playing in big leagues is luck mixed skill friend.

I know, but playing in big leagues is also a consistency measure for me. Colombia is a better team all arround, but I still stand on the point that Argentina has the best front line(including bench) in the tournament.

 

Ps. Pissed about the Chile-Mexico match, we had at least one more legit goal that was called offside, even if we played like crap in the back we deserved to win >:(
