  1. tyc sports published a list of probables for making the call ups and im shocked to see scaloni considering milton casco and enzo perez as choices for fuk sake enzo perez is a disaster if we call him up bolivia and ecuador would really be delighted to see enzo perez in the line up as he would fuk up golden chances and be a lazy arse not even bothering to track back pls for lord sake scaloni dont call up these jokers again argentina are on the rise dont stem it by calling up old clowns .even casco is not needed as we have a definite starter in nico and acuna as an amazing backup its better to call up a young upcoming left back like bravo instead of a joker like casco

  2. I will be really disappointed if scaloni doesn’t choose Nico Gonzalez……this guy has pace , high work rate and an eye for pass in the final third…..this type of player we lack ATM.
    His finishing skills is pretty mediocre but his overall play is good especially in right wing.

  3. Atl Madrid will park the bus and try to eliminate Reds. If they succeed Simeone will be applaud hard and probably will go to EPL next season. Or it was a repeated scheme for Liverpool as to what they have done it before against Barca. Nothing is impossible in football
