Argentina giving Spain a pasting, 3-0 up after 35 minutes.

Pepe Reina won't be getting many more chances after the mess he's just made for Argentina's 3rd.

Jetlag maybe? Must say it's given me a giggle as all I've had all day is how the world champions are going to 'teach Argentina a footballing lesson' and 'pass them off the park'.
Must be bad as the commentary team have spent the last 5 minutes talking about the u21's.

Agree totally and he's not the first.

It does seem an odd long trip to make for a friendly, especially after doing something similar and going off to Mexico a few weeks back, RFEF chasing the money no doubt.

Both teams are playing some decent stuff actually, but Spain just keep making cock-ups resulting in goals.

It was Gillett and Hicks' fault

Pepe Reina

Absolute nightmare

Don't believe you. World's best keeper.

Or Rick Parry signed him.

Reina got an absolute mauling by the Spanish press today. Didn't help his cause with Valdes pulling off some top saves either.

2 mistakes from Reina in 18 months/2 years and he's getting stick? I suppose when you set the standards that he has then you come to expect it.

How did the United fans think Van de Sar got on against Fulham? At least Reina actually threw the ball in the net against Arsenal, what was VDS' excuse?

I know Liverpool have fallen from the limelight a little, but you're pushing it to think that anyone will believe that.

Defoe out for 6 weeks with ankle injury.

That I believe what? That he has set high standards for himself? He has.

That he's only made 2 mistakes in 18 months.

Ok fair enough. I'm sure he has made more than 2 mistakes in 18 months. I should have said mistakes that have led directly to goals. I can't think of any from last season and he's done it twice this season. Well, I know he made the blunder against Arsenal and I'm presuming he's done something similar for Spain with the fuss that's being kicked up.

No mate, he's outta this world. He's been an important cog in the Liverpool trophy winning machine the past few years.

Really hope el Frente Atlético don't disgrace themselves again this weekend.
Aupa Athletic!

So, you can't name any other mistakes he's made and can't answer why VDS threw the ball in the net twice against Fulham.

It's ok, just let me know earlier in future so we don't have to dance round the table all day.

I don't tend to watch the mid-table teams that much unless we're playing them. When did he throw the ball in the net twice? Late reaction saves which he didn't have a lot of time for. or are you just imagining things again?

Boys, boys! Reina made a bad mistake and had a generally poor 45 minutes, but it's over.
So now maybe he'll be Spain's Nº3 instead of Nº2. Let it go

It will be laughable if Valdes gets ahead of him. Valdes is Barca's poorest first choice player, by far.

Didn't see much Spanish football last year then?

Didn't actually see as much as I used to, but still seen enough to know Valdes is some way off Reina. Furthermore, I think it's harder to be a goalkeeper in England than Spain, I think our league is much more 'challenging' for goalkeepers, which naturally makes me regard Reina's performances a lot higher.

Still, even then, if Barca could afford to lose one player that they wouldn't miss at all, it would obviously be Valdes, as he is just 'decent'.
