  1. From Now LMQ & Ota Should remember as Argentine legend & Scaloni is ultra legend for playing them every match..You cab clearly see the difference between Great Ota & C.Romero Same play but how romero handle in Qualifier & now we see great defending from Ota & Chili get penalty 🤣🤣🤣 Good job Scaloni keep playing them & play with our felling 👍👍👍🇦🇷🇦🇷🇮🇳

  2. I hope nobody has the nerve to complain before the game… after the game it is understandable somewhat if you are mad but there is no such thing as an albiceleste fan that does not feel great excitement and nerves and expectations before a game!

  3. Anyway..all the best my team!
    Finally whoever put the sky-blue & white jersey, there is no other way without supporting my beloved team!
    All the very best..VAMOS!!

    Love from Bangladesh….🇧🇩🇦🇷💙💪✌

  4. today 14 of June and i hope every single player that will wear the jersey tonight to don t forget what means this day for Argentina and with who we play. We must win and for them.

    LOS VERDADEROS HEROES NO SE OLVIDAN.
    Por los que ya no estan
    Por los que volvieron.

    VIVA LA PATRIA.

  5. Decent lineup but we would have gained a huge boost if we had Paulo Dybala. Fuck Scaloni 🖕

    But nevertheless, VAMOSS! No matter the lineup as long as we win this once and for all I can die happy.

    • Wat is the use of having a Dybala in bench.
      Even In his best form days, he was a bench Warmer in our systems.
      At what position he will fit now, in place of whom?

      Low cost, low class manager Scaloni have a lot of issues. But I won’t blame Dybala situation on him.

      • Dybala is a 9. Aguero and Martinez are the only strikers with Nico up front. Besides, do you recall how Dybala performed against Chile and Uruguay last? Who would he replace you ask? Easy. Dybala over Alvarez any day.

  6. I am so so excited for this game! It’s strange, but the group stage this Copa is not that do-or-die. Only the last team is eliminated. So we have 4 games to figure out how to best play and be ready to face everyone in the elimination stages.
    I have a good feeling about this tournament!

  7. VAMOS ARGENTINA.
    Do a fantastic performance, Guys.
    It’s Chile, the ones who took 2 Grand titles from us with their shitty game.
    Time to destroy them, to settle the score.

  8. I will not watch a single game of this copa. Suckerloni’s team is horrible and tough to watch. Euro 2020 is much better tournament and even teams like Finland and Scotland play better football than us.

  9. Hide the women and children and LETS GO ARGENTINA! play like there is no tomorrow on every single play, kick, chance, save, cross, run, tackle, block………….LETS GO DAMNIT

  10. Put all the negativity aside. Lets come together. Lets win tonight!! VAMOS!!!

    Lets win without drama for once. A simple 2-0, 3-0 type win. With an early goal.

  11. Im very excited to see us perform. Good or bad doesn’t matter. For me its like a dress rehearsal for wc. We win or lose doesn’t matter wc is more important anyways
