  1. Copa America 23: GK- Rulli Romero Gaza/Armani DF- Saravia Marcado Otamendi Pazella Foyth Tagliafico Acuna F.mori/Manama MF: Paredes Ascaliber/batigala Lo celso Benega Lanzini De Paul/Pareyara FW: Messi Aguero Dimaria Icardi Dybala corera

    • When has he ever looked “solid”? He has good game here and there but nothing consistent. Still hasn’t convinced me to this point. At least Betis go though on away goals

      Who has to put in work is Caseres, as Villareal find themselves out of La Copa Del Rey at the moment. Still got 45 min to play for. How they have declined this season, from 5th place 2017/18 to 19th this season. Crazy!

      Messi start’s for Barcelona to comeback from 2-1 deficit against Levante.
      Let’s see how this turns out.

      • Gentlemen’s bet that Lo Celso will be key for the NT.

        He’s looked solid almost every game. one of our few creative options… up there with Dybala, Lanzini, Banega, ADM, Lamela, and Messi. I’m sure he’ll gain consistency over time with experience. If anything, i see him improving. The guy does it all. Presses like crazy, is capable of playing engache, dribbles wel…often beating defenders, great vision, and he can score effin bangers. I’ve said it before but i would love to see 3 of these 4 on the pitch together: Lamela, Lo Celso, Messi, and Dybala.

    • Well a red card doesn’t necessarily mean bad game, but bad temper. He had solid passes and good positioning. But his fouls cost him the “good game” tag.

  5. Copa america 2019
    GK: 1. Romero.2. Gazanigga.3. Musso.
    DF:1. Saravia.2. Pezella.3. Ottamendi.4. Tagliafico.5. Mercado.6. Foyth.7. Mori.8.rojo.
    MF: 1. Lo Celso.2. Paredez.3. Pity MartineZ..4. Ascacibar.5. Lanzini.6. Bataglia.7.De Paul.8.Pereyra.
    FW: 1.Messi.2. Dybala.3.Aguero.4.Icardi.

      • Funes Mori as well. If Rojo is being slammed as a bench warmer, so is Funes Mori lol

        My 23 would be:
        Gk: Romero, Gazanigga, Musso
        Df: Saravia, Peruzzi, Otamendi, Pezzella, Rojo, Kanneman or Lisandro Martinez, Angileri, Tagliafico
        CM: Paredes, Caseres, Lamela, Lo Celso, Banega, Lanzini
        FW: Messi, Dybala, Aguero, Lautaro, J. Correa, ??????

        And my eleven would be:
        Romero
        Saravia-Otamendi-Rojo-Angileri
        Banega-Paredes-Lanzini
        Messi-Aguero-J. Correa

        -Rojo & Otamendi partnership? Modern football nowadays requires that there be a pair of left footed and right footed CB’s in order to build up quicker and better. If there we two right footed, the furthest on the left would have to turn his body and then look for an option while being pressed. A left footed CB doesn’t need to do that and can already be thinking about his second touch before receiving the ball.
        – No Icardi? Our midfield is weak, and we need our cf to drop and support in the midfield, sort of like a false 9, which Aguero has been doing brilliantly for Man City. I feel Lautaro can do the same. Icardi is a straight 9 who if no-one sends a cross, he’ll never touch the ball the entire game.
        – J. Correa to provide with, along with Saravia, bc we all know Messi won’t stay on the flank for more than 5 minutes. He’ll go into the midfield, which we want to an extent. Therefore, Saraviaa can push up and provide width. Same Barca do with Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto, Man City with Mendy, Liverpool with Robertson, Real with Marcelo, etc.

        If we win the midfield, we win the game!

  6. When I look at Matuidi and Acuna, I said there is a big part of luck in a player’s career. They have the same level, quite average left winger but hard-working and not too bad in passing. The difference is Matuidi had the chance to join PSG at Qatari’s beginning and then being converted to box to box, had the chance to work with great coaches like Ancelotti and Blanc, and earned a lot of experience with CL, which helped him to go to the national team. Acuna stuck at Sporting, nobody cared much. People may complain about his performance at WC, which I can understand, because he was wrongly used as left winger back. To me, he is more a left defensive box to box in a 433, not a winger and definitely not a fullback.

  7. Acuna is one of the WORST players to have ever worn the national jersey.
    He is an example of how low we are going.
    The worst players IMO who have been called up in recent memory are Biglia, Acuna, Salvio, Enzo, and Meza. Can’t forget Armani and Caballero either.
    Just Awful!

    There is obviously more, but those five guys….
    I Just Can’t!
    Just cringe watching games where they played, like against Croatia for example.

      • Well my friend.
        Why the hate against Rojo? He was one of if not the best player for Argentina against Nigeria, scored the goal that got us through. Re-watch the game, he was phenomenal!
        Re-watch the Iceland game. How did Aguero’s goal come? By a through ball Rojo played.
        If your going to hate against a player, do it against someone who contributed NOTHING, like yes Fazio, or Salvio, Tagliafico, Enzo, Higuain, etc.

        But Rojo, Di Maria, Banega, Messi, Aguero who contributed, why the hate?

        Don’t hate on players because everybody else does, have your own opinion on them.

        • @Don’tbethatguy
          Mate hate is strong word
          I don’t hate those players

          Cose I’m big supporter
          But the difference between me
          And you is .
          I support Argentina regardless
          You follow certain players
          Let’s be fair how many games
          Salvio acuna played for the Nt.
          Enzo Perez was one our best play
          2014 world cup biglia was very good
          From 2014 to 2016 come to 2018
          World cup we were shocking mate
          From afa to coaching staff and
          The players.. if messi had
          Scored that penalty I believe
          Our world cup campaign would
          Have been better so why re you
          not Criticise messi than for missing
          That pen why re you not telling the
          Truth about di Maria been sh…t
          Consistently oh I got it’s easy
          To pick salvio acuna..

          Note ..
          All due respect I don’t favour
          Anybody or follow any particular
          Person comment I just express

          In fact I respect all mundo followers
          Here …. what is right is right

          My wish is Arg to win next two
          Copa and world cup 2022
          Playing entertaining footy

    • Of all the players you mentioned, Meza and Salvio don’t have the level(I include Pavon as well), Acuna was not used correctly, Enzo was not ready, he’s been injured for long time, Rojo’s been benched for too long at club, it’s impossible to find back his level, Caballero in the same situation, Fazio and Armani without any experience, hard to expect much, the only one I can’t explain is Biglia, against Iceland, he walked when others were in trouble, it was like playing 10 vs 11, even Messi ran and defended much more than he did. I guess he wasn’t recovered yet. But look at all these facts, the only one responsible of that was Sampaoli. It was him who made the choice on the players and system. Any coach in this world, would have done like this:
      – Vazquez instead of Meza
      – Ascacibar or Battaglia instead of Enzo
      – Paredes instead of Biglia
      – Angel Correa instead of Salvio
      – De Paul instead of Pavon
      – Garay instead of Fazio
      – 4-men defense instead of 343 against Croatia

        ??? Biglia,Enzo, Higuain. Yes definitely, Biglia,Enzo and Higuain contributed nothing to the national side. LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL

        “But Rojo, Di Maria, Banega, Messi, Aguero who contributed, why the hate?”
        ??? Yes Rojo who had a fluke WC in Brazil particularly one game, the Holland game. Banega the inconsistent one and Aguero with the diva mentality..LOOOLLLLLLLL
