I was supposed to drop the Argentina vs England recreation yesterday but I already posted France vs England that day so I had to push this one 😂 But I finally did it today. The real match was yesterday and Argentina won it 2:1 in the firing minutes, but in my own efootball recreation I decided to make it sweet. I set everything — Argentina 🇦🇷 vs England 🏴, World Cup kits, real squads. And bro, my game ended 5:0. Not even close. Argentina just showed up and played like they had something to prove.
The most important thing for me was that the two guys who scored in the real match also had to score in my recreation. That was Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez. I made sure of it. Enzo’s goal in real life was that outside the box strike, so in my game I also made him score from outside 18. I took the ball with him, nobody came to press, I just hit it and it went straight into the top corner 🥅 Perfect. Then for Lautaro, I made sure his own was a header. I crossed it from the wing and he just jumped and banged it in. I wanted it to feel exactly like the real match even though my scoreline was different.
Now Messi in my game was on another level 😭 Man scored two goals. First one was a free kick, second one was him cutting inside and curling it. He was running the whole midfield, giving passes, doing everything. And Lautaro too, he got two goals. One was the header I talked about and the other one was a tap-in after Messi played him through. So basically Messi 2, Lautaro 2, Enzo 1. That’s how I got my 5:0. England in my game didn’t even get a shot on target. They were just chasing shadows the whole time.
The vibe of the match was crazy because I was playing it knowing what happened in the real game. In real life Argentina won it late, 2:1, with Messi assisting in the die minutes. But in my recreation I didn’t wait. I just pressed from minute 1. By halftime it was already 3:0 and I knew England had no chance. Second half I still kept playing serious because I wanted to give Lautaro and Messi their second goals. When the 5th one entered I just laughed because it was too easy.
Overall I really enjoyed the recreation. Even though the real score was 2:1, I wanted to see what would happen if Argentina just turned up from the start and didn’t wait till the firing minutes 😁 And it worked. 5:0, same goal scorers from the real match scored, Messi and Lautaro both got braces, and Enzo got that banger from outside. It felt like the perfect version of the game. Tomorrow I might do another one, but today’s Argentina vs England was definitely one of my best recreations.
