  1. Hey I’ve been outta the loop for a little, is Sergio Romero not with the squad anymore? I know he missed the 2018 WC, but wasn’t sure if he was being left off due to inability or injury.

  3. It would be Criminal to LEAVE OUT DE PAUL. Man is best rated ARGENTINE after Messi and Aguero in Europe. He provided 3 assists in first half only against SPAL now. He is better defensively than Dybala and Pity. Argentina’s best LM player as of now. Fuck you scaloni if you left him out

  6. The final squad will be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday; Haha…..
    Why can’t ARG recruit Richard Gareca as the Coach. Peru did very well under him. I think his pay also won’t be that high.

    • I think Scaloni will get the boot after Copa. Even now , he dosent seem to have the core of team ready. 40 player selection reflects how confused the coach is . He is going the sampaoli way. Only if AFA had continued with Martino post 2016 . The team was building from strength to strength then .
      Our GK selections will be badly exposed in Copa. I will go into Copa with no hope & just want to enjoy some good football from NT. Positives will be if young stars like LoCelso, Palacios,Lautaro play well & establish themselves in world stage.

    • Reaching SF will be realistic for ARG; I would like to see some good team play; A cohesive unit with Messi; Clear identification of Core players for Copa 20 and WC 22;

  9. Kanneman was vital for Scaloni and he was good too. Now a disaster may happen. FUNOS MORI… What a nonsense player he is in defence. Full of errors.

    The problem is whenever we dont like anyone, no matter what good they do we will still disagree with that. Now the list of 40 makes sense, NT games time nears injury season starts for most of our players. Great.

    • I guarantee you if kanneman got rule out
      Because of that injury scaloni will take
      Funes mori and that is scary ask
      Tim vickery about funes mori
      He is the worst pack up you could
      Have we must pray that otamendi &
      Pezzela stay fit plus we have mecardo
      Seriously something definitely wrong
      With Argentina coaching staff
      Do you guys telling me arg doesn’t
      Better defenders than mecardo and
      Funes mori? This joke plus I’m hearing
      He will leave out lanzini that is mad.
      Simply lanzini is the best creative player
      Arg have right now forget de Paul or lo celso .Lanzini is better creative player than them

      • Mori for some reason is a favorite of most of the coaches. I really don’t know why. And we are moving towards the inevitable combo of Otamendi-Mori and the year is 2019. Damn.

        Lanzini is always good but unreliable in terms of fitness. Made of glass.
        As of now Nacho looks better shaped to replace Zaracho.

  10. It’s so easy to drop players like
    Dybala and icardi why is so difficult
    To leave out likes di Maria mercado
    Let me myself clear I don’t like icardi
    He shouldn’t be no way near the nt.
    But it’s so unfair some players got
    Their place almost guaranteed when
    Comes international tournament
    Forget friendlies that doesn’t count for me
    I will wait and see if scaloni has ballls
    To drop some players whom think
    As long messi is there they will be there
    When he announces his final 23.
    I wish messi retired from nt after
    Last world cup ..

    • I see your point but blaming Messi for it is ridiculous.
      Just think about it, why does Messi keep coming back? Money? he’s a millionaire already. Fame? who doesn’t know Messi? To prove he’s the best player on the planet? who doesn’t know that simple fact is one of 3, stupid, doesn’t know football or just a plain hater.

      SO WHY? because he is desperate to bring home a trophy just like he did when he turned Spain down and said, thank you but no thank you, I AM AN ARGENTINE, and yet we ridicule and criticize him, shame on us.

      • Mate i don’t have no problem with messi
        He is simply the best player I ever seen
        He has done very well for the nt
        In fact he carried a lone Argentina nt
        For last few years but the problem is this
        Messi always comes with package .

        • Icardi and Dybala both are still massive for our qualifiers and next Copa. They r key players for us. No question about that.

          Let’s see how long we are gonna hang on to Di Maria, Aguero etc. They will become outdated soon.

          Sadder part is Icardi and Dybala has lost a lot of key matches for them. For some reason they both seemed cursed.

          Personally I would take Icardi over Dybala. He is a Cold blooded predator in front of goal. Which is an attribute none of our other strikers have. A rebel. No question about that. Damn he ruined his chance. Dybala meanwhile was destroyed by the Mfker Cr7.

    • Simple. Di Maria scores in world cups and is in form in league.Choice is pretty easy and obvious. Can’t wait to see el fideo wriggling around the pitch dribbling to nowhere and then scoring a banger 😉

    • Aguero will be good for us in the Copa. He can cut the cake for us.

      Mark it Di Maria will transform into his usual Chicken head act in the upcoming Copa, he is a lost cause.

    • Dybala and Icardi had horrible seasons (Icardi off the field problems too), worst of their careers, 32 years old Di Maria still had a great season 18 goals 16 assists. simple as that, its fair not the opposite…Meza, Gonzalo Martinez, Matias Suarez etc. here are the jokes

      • Yh true meza is joke matias Suarez
        I only saw him the last two friendlies
        I saw people overhype him but
        I thought that was bit too much
        Based two subs he came in
        Personally I would take Joaquin correa
        Over him .
        Pity Martinez I would still take him
        Over the headless chicken
        But reality is scaloni will take di Maria.

        • Di Maria 90 out of 100 plays great for his Club. That’s a fact. The funny part is people still believes Di Maria is not gonna be a Headless chicken for the NT.

          I just hope that he is shown a door to outside the NT after the Copa, just like how Romero is shown the door outside.

          Face it, they won’t retire.And they won’t do good for us. So it’s better to flush them out.

  12. Injury will never leave us alone. Sad for Kannenman. He was really solid CB. I don’t mind Funis Mori and hope he shows same form like last Copa. If the reports are true than I think he is most likely out

    • 2004, Saviola hit hattrick at group stage ,got injured, never return.

      2007, Crespo scored 3 goals in first 2 games, injured while scoring penalty and never return

      2014 & 2015, Di Maria at his best, got injured in middle of tournament, never return.

      2016, Lavezzi having a solid tournament, broke his own shoulder while celebrating a goal.

      What an amazing luck for Argentina.

  15. i don t see any reason to afraid Brasil.
    i understand that it is not easy to win them especially if we see our strange condition but there is no reason to afraid them.

    in many times in past we win them even if in paper we had worse team than them.
    Argentina never was afraid them ,Argentina don t afraid now and Argentina will never afraid Brasil.

    • our luck nearly every brazil key player out of form: Neymar, Coutinho, Alves is old, Thiago Silva too, Casemiro (compared to last seasons), Firmino lost his form a little bit too, Jesus doesnt play etc etc etc

    • Guys Brazil look strong on the paper only although they left marcelo, fabhino,lucas out of the squad.
      Clearly our forward is better than Brazil but problem is we don’t have stable GK ,fullbacks and DM scaloni should have selected ansaldi, ascasibar and Rulli.
      Our CB pair otamendi and pezella is as good as their Marquinhos and Thiago silva but they have an advantage of they are playing togther in the club. Arthur is not better than lo celso, but obviously they have a world class DM as casemiro. They have better full backs.
      We need a proper destroyer and a Goalkeeper.

  17. Our arch-rival didn’t need 40 player squad to confused the team!

    Brazil Copa America squad: Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Man City),
    Cassio (Corinthians); Dani Alves (PSG), Fagner (Corinthians), Alex
    Sandro (Juventus), Filipe Luis (Atletico Madrid), Thiago Silva (PSG),
    Marquinhos (PSG), Miranda (Inter), Eder Militao (FC Porto); Casemiro
    (Real Madrid), Fernandinho (Man City), Arthur (Barcelona), Allan
    (Napoli), Paqueta (Milan), Coutinho (Barcelona), Neymar (PSG),
    Everton (Gremio); David Neres (Ajax), Richarlison (Everton), Firmino
    (Liverpool), Gabriel Jesus (Man City)

    • If both Brazil and argentina tops their group the we will face Brazil in semi final , i am not worried about that overrated Brazil we can beat them in their home groundif argentina plays with clear objective hope scaloni will surprise us but i am worried about Uruguay it will tough to beat them if they reach in final.

      • True, Argentina feel nervous in Finals plus Uruguye is strong in defensively according to me favourite for copa, Brazil is defensively week like with aging defender and overrated attacker, if Argentina v/s Brazil in semi final then 100% Argentina win it even outside chance of 7-1 but to beat Uruguye defense Argentina will face difficulty like previous copa finals.

      • The problem Argentina never ever won in Brazil against them, never, and if a remember well Brazil lost in the history only one time in their home soil, against Germany (1:7)…except this they are unbeaten in every qualifier!!!, WC and Copa America match, and the problem draw wouldnt be enough…Armani cant save a fckin penalty for his life. Man im not jokin bring Caballero to the Copa, and sub him in 119th minutes before the penalty shootout (4th sub is avalaible), the guy is one of the best penalty killer of the world with Handanovic and Daniel Alves.

        • Its delusional ARG will win Copa without penalty shootout…so with these goalkeepers we are out. Armani, Marchesin, Andrada Scaloni you fckin moron.

        • i understand your concern but don t over react.
          of course we have win them inside Brasil many times and generally they have lost many times from us and from other countrys.

          yes it is difficult task especially this period in the condition we are
          no argue. i understand your point but i don t afraid them.

          • another fun fact: ARG never ever lost semi final in any serious Fifa competition (Olympics, U20 WC, WC, Copa America), never..so maybe BRA-ARG in semi final would be good for us, not that enormous pressure on the players than in a final

        • Yes…Caballero is the best penalty stopper of Argentina. It’s better to call him as third GK.
          Second best Penalty stopper of Argentina is Rulli…!

          If any of them not in Copa…chances of winning on penalties are almost zero…!

        • @csabalala , you need to read more about football history

          Fact : Germany & Holland thrashed Brazil at Brazil’s home like they’re amateur team. So that already disproved the myth that Brazil cant lose at home because they did lost badly twice at the same tournament at home. Remember in any sport, there’s always the first time.

          Another fact : Brazil might have the most World cup wins but they’ve hosted the World cup twice and didnt win BOTH. They lost to Uruguay in a final at home front of record breaking crowd attendence.

          Unbeatable my ass.

  18. Look at dani alves ,he is 36 psg is still trying to renew his contract and even mancester city has shown intrest in him and will play copa america 2019.

      • Mundo members needs to understand that some players can play in early 30’s if they inform and their fitness level is good and better than selecting a player just because he is young who contribute almost nothing.
        Even some guys here doubts even messi won’t be able play in WC 2022 because he will be 35 but truth at even this age his fitness level is better than most of our young players like lamela, lanzini, zarcho………..

        • Yeah true if the player looks after
          Himself than he can play till late 30s
          Examples zanetti maldini Giggs
          They all play till 39 or 38 very good
          Level and af course messi will play
          2022 in Qatar I’m sure himself is targeting that.
          But it depends on how the copa America
          Ends if Argentina win messi will carry on
          If the nt finishes in such negative way
          Like last world cup than it maybe
          different story that time around.

  20. Andrada was MOTM of yesterday’s match against Velez. To me best choice out of the 5 Scaloni has on the list. Should be starter.

  22. Damn, Boca make the semifinal of Copa de La Superliga winning the Velez only on penalties.

    On the other hand Alexis MacAllister gave the semis to Argentinos Juniors. The kid is great.

    • I don’t watch copa superliga, how did Robertone and Dominguez do? I have alot of hope for those 2.

      Alexis is a heck of a talent, a hybrid no.8/10 who is able to play CM or attacking midfield. Hopefully he’ll do well in the premier league like Lanzini has (minus the constant injuries).

      • Robertone and Dominguez were good as whole the Velez team (ALmada had superb minutes). They are NT material. If Palacios and Zaracho are they too. The same with Alexis MacAllister. There’s plentifull of talent in 97-98 category:

        .Montiel……..Foyth……C.Romero…….Lisandro Martinez

        ………………………Dominguez/Ascacibar
        ………….Robertone/Zaracho…………Palacios

        ……….MacAllsiter……………………………………Vargas
        ……………………………Lautaro

        • Palacios, Robertone are rather like No.8. Dominguez feels good on double pivot with Gimenez (on Scaloni list) giving his attacking contribution (with some connecting runs ahead) but still being better than Parades defensively may easily play single No.5

          Dominguez is more attacking prone in Velez than Battaglia or Ascacibar.

  23. Lets not criticize Scaloni this early, he must have thought something.
    .
    My 23 (4-4-2)
    GK-Andrada, Marchesin, Musso
    RB-Saravia, Mercado
    RCB-Pezzella
    LCB-Otamendi, Kannemann
    LB-Tagliafico, Acuna
    DM- Guido, Foyth(can backup as RCB too)
    CM-Palacios, Lo Celso, Paredes
    WIDE MIDFIELDERS- De Paul, Di Maria, Pereyra
    LF- Messi, Either of Correa
    RF- Aguero, Lautaro, Matias/Dybala
    .
    .
    The one mentioned front should be first choice:-)
    Come on Scaloni We support you until you become Sampaoli of WC.

  24. Scaloni is choosing right player unlike Sampoli i do not want tactical expert i want better player in the pitch for 90 minutes
    We just need Ansaldi and J.Correa.Rest are quite good

    • Yes, Ansaldi and J.Correa will make our attack “DEVASTATING”.
      Dude that is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. You need to check yourself. A 32 year old hack defender who spent the majority of his time in shit leagues and Correa who hasn’t even played 100 minutes for the NT through 3 managers…
      What a DOPE.

        • I think trolls get a bad name. They have a place in sites like this. You know why? Because people like you get their underwear in a bunch when they get called out for saying the dumbest shit possible.
          I have watched football longer than you have been alive most likely. But when somebody make a dumb shit comment they deserve to be called out. It shows that you know next to nothing about the game and really discredits every other comment you have ever made.
          The national team aside, if anybody in the footballing world saw the same thing you do in these two stiffs they would be playing on much bigger clubs. However they are not. You know why? Because your assessment of them is wrong. I am being kind when I say this. This means you have no clue what you are saying by including these two. Then you attack me for calling your silly ass out. The truth is your feelings are hurt because somebody caught you saying something inexplicably stupid. Own it and take it back. You’d earn a lot more respect from people on this board if you did that then keep fighting a moronic argument to say you are right. You aren’t.

  25. If i were the coach ,i will suggest two things that is very important.

    1, players running ability and speed are very important. just look at Liverpool

    2, tactics should be different .You should have speedy players to counter attack at the same times you must practice full team attack and using Joaquin Correa’s One touch no look passing tactics which you need to have speedy and skilfull player such as messi ,di maria ,Benjamin garre, Joaquin Correa

    • Liverpool won because they are good in corners or corner kind of sotuation,tactically they are not good.Barca does have good headers in team and they ocasionally take corner that costed them.No team can thrive in every or most aspect of the game or any player unlike Messi C.Ronaldo.

  26. IMO,Ascacibar is not that good enough to be mascherano successor.

    I recommend two players First one is JUAN FOYTH ,second is Rosario Central’s JOAQUIN PEREYRA 。

    Mashcerano ‘type DM is outdated. Nowadays DM should be box to box .Tall ,Fast ,Able to pass ball through midfield, sometimes need to long shot .just look at pogba .Only JUAN FOYTH,JOAQUIN PEREYRA have those ability to be modern DM

  27. Lessons learnt over the dry years… bring on any Argentine player we don’t mind (we have come to that stage now) but pls bring the Copa home.
    .
    used to be so choosy, never anymore.
    .
    ‘bring the Copa home’ that’s all

  28. 40 players!? Honestly! And it’s even more remarkable that even with 40 players inform ones like Benitez, Barboza, J.Silva, C.Romero, Escelante, Robertone, N.Dominguez and Ocampos don’t even get a mention.

    Lamela and Lanzini are world class players….when fit, which almost never happens sadly!
    Ascacibar deserves to be selected but unfortunately that ridicules incident that got him a 6 match ban clearly indicates that he still has some maturing to do and he’ll be short on match fitness.
    Gaston Jimenez has been quite good for Velez but why no mention of Dominguez or Robertone who have been just as influential? What am I seeing that Scaloni and his staff isn’t ?

    If the final list turns out to be very similar to the rumored one a few days ago then it would be a good list but without the proper tactics, a defined core and a recognizable playing style I’m afraid the outcome doesn’t look good 🙁 I just hope Scaloni proves me wrong.

    • I respectfully disagree with you mate
      Lamela is not world class let’s not
      Kid ourselves lanzini on his day
      He is world class and he will be
      When he plays full season under
      Pellegrini next season without
      Injuries distract. I have big regards
      For lanzini even I believe he is better
      playmaker than lo celso.
      lamela’s case nothing but
      He has been disappointing.

    • I always say scaloni is not suitable for national team .No experience ,No tactics and always choose wrong player

      IMO the following player should be recruited.

      GK Romero ,Juan Musso, Walter Benitez ,Damian Martinez, Paulo Gazzaniga

      DF: L Godoy ,Montiel ,Otamendi ,Pezzella, Barbosa, Cristian Romero ,Lisandro Martinez ,Alexis Soto,Alexis McAllister, Lucas Robertone

      Striker : Messi ,Di maria ,Aguero ,Facundo Colidio,Lucas alario

      MF: Joaquin Correa, Lucas Ocampos,Gonzalo Martinez, Benjamin Garre, Bebelo Reynoso ,Joaquin Pereyra,Juan foyth

      1,promote Benjamin Garre ,Facundo Colidio To national team
      2, two DM for future they are Juan foyth and Joaquin pereyra .
      3, using tall man Alario ,J Correa, Ocampos ,Di maria ,Juan foyth ,Barbosa
      4, dybala,icardi must out unless they improve their running ability and one touch passing skill
      5, using J Correa ,messi ,Di maria ,lo celso, Aguero combination
      6, practice different tactics such as one touch no look passing , counterattack, one on one defense with 442, 433, 4141 formation.

      Vs Brazil using counterattack 4141

    • You are right Mamoun. I was for years for call up Gaston Gimenez but currently it’s better to invest with his teammates like Robertone and Dominguez. Robertone would be perfect replacement of Zaracho however to me not over Nacho Fernandez.

      • Even though Gimenez is a deep lying playmaker while Dominguez is a DM, in Velez they carry out the same tasks (reclaim the ball and move it forward) but I think Dominguez is better at moving the ball, more creative and more of a goal threat even though he’s much younger.

        Nacho is good, I’m not against him being in the 23 man squad to be honest but I personally am more impressed with Robertone than I am with palacios, zaracho or Nacho.

  29. Only 1 player, who was suppose to directly replace Mascherano was Ascacibar. He is not even in the list of 40?and he hasn’t even played too. Anyway the coach will have his reason, but he is the brightest player of that particular generation. He will be back soon.

    Lamela, Lanzini both came back, Nacho, J Correa. We can’t complaint it’s a near perfect player selection. I m glad that the Era of Romero is over under scaloni.

    • Oh my God that is the funniest shit I HAVE EVER read. Really I am not kidding. I don’t think anybody has ever used the word devastating when it comes to these two players. Not even their mothers. And they gave birth to these two!!!

      • They are missing links in our attack once we fill them we becomes strong. Do not just read words understand what i say between the lines you idiot wa***r

  31. Well one thing is clear. Menotti thinks that Gallardo should be the next manager.
    7 of rivers 11 is on list if you include pity.

    Scaloni choosing or Menotti choosing?
    I guarantee it’s Menotti

  34. The speculations about final 23 are too early as Scaloni just few hours ago completed only his 40 names. Be patient

    • Good to hear prices for Argentina players finally arising. Almendra, Kanneman. Maybe soon profitable transfers of Palacios, Zaracho, Vargas, Almada, De La Vega and others.

    • They need a left fullback, an attacking midfielder and a left winger too. I’d love to see Tagliafico, Lo Celso and Vargas there. Lo Celso as Ramsey’s replacement

        • Lo celso is better off arsenal than
          broken team Like fcb
          Simply premier league is the best
          And most entertaining league in
          The world premiere has everything
          Weather is money or managers
          Players the only thing is missing
          Is messi play for man city under Guardiola.

          • Even Broken fcb is 100 times better than that downgrading arsenal who doesn’t have budget to buy players and will play in champions league for next 5 years. Premier league may be most entertaining but la liga has more quality. Even mancester city is playing barca style of football and dominating england.
            Day before 4-0 barca was world beaters and suddenly after due to valvarde’s coward tactics barcelona became a broken team . Believe it still barca is a way above alt the premier league teams.

          • yeah, prem is the most entertaining and really competitive but it La Liga has better quality for a player like Lo Celso to develop. Both Arsenal or Barca would be great but with a new coach, id pick barca any day.

  36. Romance XI:
    Rulli – Saravia Otamendi Pazella Tagliafico – LO Celso Paredes Gludio Palacios – Messi Aguero
    Sub: Dimaria, Pareyra, lautaro

  37. useless selection, i’m 1000% sure final 23 will be the players from first 31st squad announce by scaloni with the cut off 8players, next 9players announcement is just a waste of time atleast for fans.

  38. Agustín MARCHESIN
    Milton CASCO, Leonardo SIGALI, Walter KANEMANN, Gabriel MERCADO
    Guido RODRIGUEZ, Gonzalo Pity MARTINEZ, Maximiliano Meza,Gaston GIMENEZ
    Lionel MESSI, Matías SUAREZ

    4-4-2, what a fantastic lineup! Absolutely love it!

  40. i can’t predict scaloni coz we haven’t seen much of him ……..but whatever little i saw of scaloni i can say one thing for sure he doesn’t like to concede….he is more of a defensive minded coach…..ah!! i hope in copa we don’t have to rely on messi’s magic and our world class no.9s to score goals frequently…..i want midfielders and full backs to contribute more in the final third.

  41. Still think this is the best team

  42. Joaquin Correa is Argentina’s most promising player in Europe behind messi, aguero, dimaria .

    He is very versatile. Very fast ,technically very useful ,can be false 9,Striker ,wingers, playmaker with 189cm height ,eyecatching dribbling ability and one touch passing skill .I think he is the best partner to messi ,di maria and aguero

  43. I have never seen a list of 40,that implies Scaloni still hesitate on the formation and the players to use, at less than 1 month and half… I will always support the team, more than ever, but really don’t think we can win it. The truth is young players are not ready yet. The mature guys are out of form(Icardi Paredes Dybala Lamela Lanzini) and we can only rely on the most senior guys again and again

  44. My 23:

    Andrada
    Armani
    Musso

    Saravia
    Montiel
    Otamendi
    Pezzella
    Kannemann
    Funes Mori
    Tagliafico
    Casco

    Lo Celso
    Marcone/Guido
    Palacios
    Paredes
    Lanzini
    Nacho Fernandez
    Pity/Di Maria/De Paul

    Messi
    Lautaro
    Aguero
    Suarez
    J.Correa

    • Armani didn’t convinced me however here inside just because Scaloni has a lot of current and past River players on the list so maybe that would be some advantage to take them together and make some basical understanding. Armani, Montiel, (Mercado), Pezzella, Funes Mori, Casco, Palacios, Lanzini, (Lamela), Nacho, Pity, Suarez, (Pereyra).

      • I would have taken foyth instead of funes mori as a young CB in the mix. And also Pereyra as our dynamic and running player in midfield since now there will be no zaracho

    • Currently Perreyra will be selected instead of Nacho. DePaul and Dimaria will be selected too. Probably Funes Mori will be cut.
      One of the Correa will be there. At present Angel, because he’s already there in the team. I wish I am wrong in this case.

    • Yeah, few last names (Lanzini, Nacho and Correa) makes the list more attractive and complete to me. Hope to see them in final 23. I’m convinced about their usefulness.

  50. I understand you need the list in case of injury but the reality is we hardly have 23 world class players. Our stars are either near the end of their career or just beginning their career.
    I’d say more than half these guys aren’t even getting regular minutes in reír European clubs but they bitch about not being called up. SMH

    • Nothing special about either one of the Correa’s. Not their blond dyed hair, their neck tattoos or their football game. It’s like a car that has the great paint job but no engine.
      Sadly we can say that about too many of our players.

    • A correa will be more useful if messi and lo celso starts then its useless to play j correa because he drifts towards central area and will make our attack narrow so it will be easier for the opposition to defend.

  52. I’m done with Scaloni. Why are we still relying on these goalkeepers? Why do I not see Benitez? Why is there no Mammana in defence? Why in the world did Meza even get considered? Ridiculous! I hate this goalkeeper and defence lineup.

    • What had mammana done this season to secure a place in selection? Did you ever watch zenits matches?
      Benitez should have been included but I can understand why he is not. Benitez only came to prominence this season (around october) so it will take time for him. I am sure he will be considered after copa

      • Mamana is out of form ….until now scolani’s team selection is prettygood eccept the case of goal keepers…andrarda and marchasien is somewhat okei but armani is lol….meza too…even pavon was a better option than him….foyth is not so matured to be a national team material…c romero may be a good option..iam satisfied with all other players
