Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United, Matias Soule of Juventus start for Argentina U20 vs. USA

1. […] Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United, Matias Soule of Juventus, Luka Romero of Lazio and Tiago Geralnik of Villarreal all start for the Argentina U20 team vs. the United States. The four Argentine players start for coach Javier Mascherano in the friendly match. Here is the starting eleven: Francisco GomezBrian AguilarFranco CarboniAgustin GiayMaximo PerroneValentin GomezLuka RomeroGino InfantinoMatias SouleTiago GeralnikAlejandro Garnacho Franco HerreraSantiago MoyaFacundo BuonanotteJulian […] Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United, Matias Soule of Juventus start for Argentina U20 vs. USA […]

2. TYC said that some other players might get a chance go start such as:
   Musso will replace Armani
   LM Quarta will replace Pezzella
   Palacios will replace MacAllister
   Di Maria will replace Nico Gonzales
   Alvarez will replace Joaquin Correa

   So the probable line up:
   Musso; Molina, LM Quarta, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Paredes, De Paul, Palacios; Messi, Di Maria, Alvarez.

3. Best midfield squad for Argentina
   1 De Paul
   2 Paredes
   3 Lo celso
   4 Guido Rodriguez
   5 Papu Gomez
   6 Manuel Lanzini
   7 Palacios
   Manuel Lanzini deserves chance in playing 11 he is doing very good in West Ham for long time.

   • enzo fernadez is already Argentina’s 3rd best midfielder

4. The keys to our WC success:
   1. Good draw on April 1st until the final, not just group stage.
   —- Like Croatia 4 years ago got a very good journey until the final.
   2. Messi playing like Messi
   3. Di Maria keeps his seleccion form and is injury free
   4. Cuti is not injured
   5. Emi is not injured, still strong at PK
   6. De Paul doing his stuff
   7. Most Copa players are called
   8. No strange new non copa players (like MacAllister for example) in the squad
   9. Not over confident
   10. Scaloni not to overthink (unlike Sampaoli 4 years ago who changed his mind every 2 hours and in the end fielding a strange starting 11 most of the time).

5. All is in the good hand of Mascherano; Tapia (AFA) is doing a right thing, building the bridge between the senior and youths so the gap is not wide open. Will be much better if the young potential player could be joining the senior level on this WC. Put the trust on the youth as France did it on the last WC with Mbappe

   • What I am impresses with the most is Messi, Di Maria, Paredes, and De Paul all came to watch the match live from the bench.

     It is like they wonder if their replacements are ready after the WC 2022. Maybe the likes of Garnacho, Soule, or Luka are a bit too young to just come straight and replace Messi and Di Maria but at least their ceiling is high, higher than most youth we have in the last 10 years.

     • AFA themselves used to have higher ceiling. Remember that the likes of Kun, Messi, Di Maria , Tevez, Saviola, has been playing at senior sides since their youth 🙂 . Now it takes forever for them to field a 22 year old , let alone a 17 year old.

6. Thought for Aramburu, ex Argentine Rugby Star, killed in Paris last week by far right activists, French neo nazi. He was in Paris for watching the six nation and it was reported that he was murdered because he tried to defend a person attacked by the neo nazi group. All my thoughts go with his family. Paris is becoming so unsafe, better for our Argentine players to leave.

   • Good lord just when you think humanity couldn’t sink any lower, RIP. I’m gonna look him up now, thanks for the heads up Canadien.

7. Argentina USA 2-2. Aguilar scored one goal. Dunno the other one.

   Messi, Di Maria, Ocampos, Paredes were watching the match. Tapia also there watching.

   • Julian Romero of Independiente scored the second.

   • Can anyone share the highlights of u20

8. Why no duo Valentin, Valentin Barco and Valentin Carboni, on the list?

9. Actually 5 will start not 4: Soule, Luka, Garnacho, F. Carboni the left back, and Geralnik.

   The 2 not starting are Paz and V Carboni.

   Soule will wear number 9
   Garnacho 11
   Luka 7
   Infantino 8
   Geralnik 10
   F Carboni 3

   Last but not least this new dude Maxime Perrone is dubbed the new “Redondo”. Another generation of “new Redondo” after Gago and Banega in the past. He is wanted by both City and Real Madrid.
   And just like Redondo, he will wear number 5.

   Man the new Redondo is in midfield. Then we have Geralnik, Soule, Garnacho, and Luka upfront. cant wait to watch the match.

10. Such a shame that they are not broadcasting this match
