  1. It’s more or less Scaloni’s base players is set with may be 5 spots are open in the 28 players squad. Finally, we have something good going on, we won an International trophy after 25 years, we should be fine and confident, but as usual we all will complain that this player is not selected that player is not selected. Its human nature to not get satisfied with anything, Scaloni have done something remarkable for us, he will do the needful in time, for now he can experiment because of the Covid restrictions and matter of the fact we have already qualified for the WC.

    And I don’t think the likes of Buendia or Mac allister would make that much of an impact for us even if they are played, players who may really may have been useful for us like Papu was Lanzini/Lamela. Unfortunately, both didn’t show their true potential because of injuries and wrong career choices, think about it Lanzini was supposed to be a starter in 2018 WC. Damn.

    And what’s with this Lewandowski? He wants Messi to do vote for him, to praise him whole heartedly Blah Blah Blah What the hell? Even Cr7 is better than him I guess, Remember Modric was also crying a lot when he won that fluke Ballon D or. Guess some people can’t handle somethings.

  2. I’m sure Gio will be called up and probably impress more then Joaquin has, but it would be really nice to see Icardi given a chance. Although he hasn’t played much lately, he still deserves a call up. I’m a firm believer that he’s one of the strikers we need.

    • Not in his current form. he may or may not have some personal issues but in terms of form, he really hasn’t done much to “deserve a call up”. During his inter years and beginning of PSG, i would say 100%, but he is doing great right now.

      • Despite all of my counter arguments for Icardi I really could understand why people were inclined to want him for several years. He was prolific and a top scorer. But now? He is having his worst season ever and is practically useless, like playing with 10 men almost. There is absolutely no upside to playing him

    • No, Icardi is in the worst form of his life now and constantly linked away from PSG, plus is a destructive force in the locker room. Him and his wife are toxic and should as far from NT as the North pole is from the South.
