  1. Lavezzi was a total idiot on the play that led to his injury.

    He was quickly backpedaling to try and keep a ball that was clearly going out of play in and ran out of field and went over the sign..

    Argentina was up 3 or 4 – 0 at the time and he should have had more awareness to realize the field runs out at a certain point and there are advertising boards surrounding it… I mean, C’mon… I was there watching and all I could think of how needless and stupid the play was.
