Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI is expected to announce his team for this month’s matches but there’s already a rumored list which is floating around.
If the rumored list is to be believed, captain Lionel MESSI returns while Manuel LANZINI gets the call for the first time since the FIFA World Cup and Pity MARTINEZ of the MLS is included.

Franco ARMANI
Geronimo RULLI
Esteban ANDRADA
Paulo GAZZANIGA

German PEZZELLA
Lisandro MARTINEZ
Alexander BARBOSA
Juan FOYTH
Nicolas OTAMENDI
Walter KANNEMANN
Ramiro FUNES MORI
Marcos ACUNA
Nicolas TAGLIAFICO
Gabriel MERCADO
Renzo SARAVIA
Gonzalo MONTIEL
Midfielders:
Santiago ASCACIBAR
Leandro PAREDES
Ivan MARCONE
Giovani LO CELSO
Angel DI MARIA
Matias ZARACHO
Erik LAMELA
Manuel LANZINI
Rodrigo DE PAUL
Gonzalo Pity MARTINEZ
Forwards:
Lionel MESSI
Paulo DYBALA
Lautaro MARTINEZ
Dario BENEDETTO
Giovanni SIMEONE
I like the names that I see. Probably the best you can get at this very moment although I’m not so sure about Simeone. I would’ve included Kun instead. He’s finding the net very often these days.
Yeah.. Good news..
Vamos Argentina! Go Tango! Be the champion!
GOD bless..
can any one tell me about Bravo of Banfield ?
he got highest who scored rating in this season so far…
how good he is ?
IMO
Gk: Rulli is not trustable , Juan musso and Walter benitez may be better .GAZZANIGA is decent .
DF: we have lisandro Martinez and Soto ,no need to select acuna . tagliafico and saravia may not be better than Montiel ,Leo GODOY . No need to select Mercado.
Foyth ,pezzella, otamendi ,Barbosa are enough
MF: only lo celso ,paredes, zaracho are decent. we need to select Reynoso ,robertone, palacios as back up
Wingers :dimaria ,pity Martinez are decent. don’t forget Joaquin Correa and Lucas Ocampos
Strikers: icardi is not suitable for NT ,aguero is very fit together with messi .we need a tall and skilfull striker to back up messi. I think alario is more useful than dybala and SIMEONE
shut up
J.Correa had good game today.
Yes ,he is very fast and skilfull. just need to improve shooting skill . don’t know why scaloni don’t select j Correa. Imo he is more useful than dybala in NT .Correa can be a striker ,winger and false 9 but dybala only can be a false 9 .
I guess it is still a try out period … calling 30+ players make Argentinaβs coach look like a joke… and simeone instead of icardi and aguero is a joke … with or without political issues in inter
Everyone knows Aguero is going to be selected for Copa America, Scaloni is just experimenting and giving these younger players experience. They’re gonna need it for 2020 & 2022.
Rulli is back in form again must be the no1 for Argentina
When was RULLI ever in form to begain with?! Lol
hahaha exactly what i was thinking too π π
Lol yeah
Worst gk of the rulli by far….
Parades started today ?Any update regarding his performance ?
He played well. One of the best players for PSG today.
Thanks
He was IMO the best midfielder on the pitch and it wasn’t exactly an easy match for PSG, which is more telling of Leandro’s performance.
Possible Lineup:
Benitez
Saravia
Mammana
Otta
Saravia
Lo Celso
Ascacibar
Zaracho
Dybala
Messi
Aguero
I chose 4-4-2 because it gives even spacing between players so they can move.
Better news Lanzini is starting today
Letβs see how fit he is
Argentina should do
gazzaniga
saravia, foyth, lisandro martinez, tagliafico
paredes, marcone, lo celso
messi, dybala, di maria
this team is missing a banega type midfielder that can hold on to the ball and offer some playmaking and defense too. For now I think paredes can fill banegas role but i rather have him at number 5 (even tho im sire ascacibar and marcone can do that perfectly).I like the idea of a young defense with experienced players attacking.
Wouldnβt Ascacibar be a better choice instead of Marcone?
He probably is im just a Boca fan and i love seeing marcone play
West Ham will be furious. They lost Lanzini for 8 months and now he has just recovered, they won’t be happy to let him go. He should gain strength and match fitness first.
Simeone over in form Aguero?
Hard to understand.
“hard to understand” is an understatement. Its absolute idiocy, batshit delusional decision. (although I keep telling myself it’s just a rumour or as Ebo points out, hell prob be called last game :))
You’re right about West ham…NT games can be brutal.
I still hold my expectations that Aguero will be in COPA with Benedetto and L. Martinez.
i don t see Martinez be in final squad.
we don t need him i believe.
Yah thatβs insane!
@Richard I agree. Both West Ham and NT should be careful with Manu and avoid rushing him soon after an ACL recovery. I guess the call-up(based on the rumuored list) is just to assess his present condition (and make sure he’s key in Scaloni’s project) and not rush him into playing the full 90mins (of either or both the games).
Here’s a really interesting chart about the productivity of players on Europe. From Reddit
Goals on Y and assist on X

Of course alien Messi in a tier alone but I’m surprised Di Maria is so far out with expected assists. Even beating Neymar. He’s an amazing playmaker and I could care less about “hot and cold”. His numbers are beyond impressive.
Dybala looks pretty good and also look for De paul, lanzini, and aguero
From 2014 – present
“Of course alien Messi in a tier alone”
And they only gave him 1 Golden Ball since then, go figure the politics of FIFA!
F…k them
Where is Benitez and romero
Joaquin correa must be included instead of pity
Don’t know whether this rumour player selection will be official or not. But it is a great news that players like meza, salvio are not around.
Donβt be so sure yet, you never know what Meza can do in bed with Scaloni
Watched this spurs arsenal, really Pochettino should play more offensive. Foyth is not worse than the 4 and don’t know why he insisted so much on Sissoko. Erikssen should play this 8 role and let Lamela play behind Son and Kane.
I doubt this will be the official list. Speaking of this list why do we need this much defenders when there are only 2 friendlies especially when pezella and mercado are injured. Also not sure about labzini inclusion since he only played 45 min this season.
Anyway loved the inclusion of marcone and benedetto
Very satisfied with midfielder selection
Ansaldi should be in the squad with Tagliafico you can not play in wings world class play.Ansaldi is an acute passer.Our attack would miss a player like this calibre.Other only know just to run on the flanks do not have any good first or final touch on the ball.Another wasted talent.Sad
You are unbelievably annoying
@ kavindrs
Please stop with your madness
About ansaldi I’m sure he won’t
Get call up anymore . Be realistic
You mention ansaldi all most
Every post that is soo annoying.
This guy has Ansaldimania illness and can’t stop hating on Tagliafico.
πππ I swear that is so true
Plus he is lack of knowledge about
Argentina players
I would have known them if they were any better
Tagliafico lovers are also annoying to me.Tagliafico does not stand a chance against Ansaldi.At 26 year age he is still in unknown league and if transfered to Real Madrid he would be perennial substitute.Compare him to Marcelo he is nowhere.He is headless chicken with no IQ
How about Jonathan silva of Leganes fc in la liga his age is 24 and he plays in such a competetive league
When I saw this rumoured list, my 1st reaction is there are many CBs. So I guess if true then Scaloni may want to try 343: Foyth(Mercado) , Pezzella(Barboza) , Otamendi(Lisandro) – Saravia(Montiel), Lo Celso(Zaracho), Paredes(Ascacibar), Tagliafico(Acuna) – Messi(Dybala), Benedetto(Lautaro), Di Maria(Pity)
Or eventually a 442 with Zaracho and Di Maria on each side, Lo Celso plus Paredes in the middle, which is what I prefer the most. Messi should play as half 9, closed to the goal.
What pleased me? Lisandro, Barboza and Zaracho selection, Marcone and Benedetto deserved, happy to see Lanzini back.
What was disappointing? I am not big fan of Icardi but don’t see any upside of including Simeone. This kid is hard working but no skill, not strong and tall, not fast but not efficient. I understand the place is limited on the left but would love to see Vargas.
I still think Lisandro Martinez would be a great No.5 with his passing and defensive abilities.
Yeah, me 2. He can actually offer better balance if we go for a 442 with Paredes in the middle. But in this case, you sacrifice Lo Celso.
Agreed, Licha would be a great 5/regista hybrid. Infact I can see him being a backup LB for Tagliafico, a backup for one of the centre backs, a backup for Paredes or a starter in the midfield, the kid’s amazing but like I said before I’m gonna wait until the season is finished before I make my conclusion on him, still I’d be glad if this call up is legit.
I may be mean but to me Simeone is a slower and less smart version of Inzaghi.
We still lack quality group of b2b midfielders……I hope marcone would be able to fill battaglia spot…..we need some hardworking midfielders I hv very high hopes from palacios that guy is a hard working and talented midfielder…
And yeah very excited for matias zaracho.
Since german pezella is injured and will return this week why not take cristian romero of genoa fc but if pezella is fit to play then taken cristian romero instead of funes mori , walter benitez instead of either rulli or gazzaniga, kun aguero instead of dario bendetto and guido rodriguez instead of ivan marcone and jonathan silva instead of marcos acuna
Yeah I think it’s time to launch benitez for argentina……Nd If u r choosing foyth who is not even playing regularly for spurs then why not Romero who is one of the revelation of serie a
way too much players the max should be 27 players
Offensively very poor, Aguero should be in the squad
