Gerónimo Rulli of Villarreal is set to start for Argentina against Ecuador in the World Cup qualifier.
Rulli is expected to get his third start for the Argentina national team. According to Hernán Claus, coach Lionel Scaloni will opt for 29 year old Rulli instead of Juan Musso of Atalanta.
The Argentine has played twice for the national team. The first in a 3-0 win vs. GUatemala where he played the entire match. The second match in a 2-0 win vs. Mexico where he played 59 minutes and was substituted for Paulo Gazzaniga.
As we reported earlier, here is the rumored eleven:
Musso or Rulli; Montiel, Pezzella or Martínez Quarta, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Guido, Palacios or Mac Allister; Messi, Julián Álvarez and Nicolás González or Ángel Correa.
Nigeria is out. In late 2017 when Nigeria beat us 2-4, a Nigerian guy came in this forum and trolled Argentina. He stayed in the forum for a few hours and never came back. We had the last laugh coz we beat them in Russia WC. I think that same troll was mocking Ghanaian fans somewhere in the net earlier today, but the joke is on him now 😀
2-0 for Portugal..So Ronaldo joining to WC…!
North Macedonia…lol
Poland leading 1-0 against Sweden. One country that I hope to be in the same group with Argentina is Poland. I want the world to finally witness how mediocre Lewandowski is.
Lewandoski is best striker
Egypt is out.
Means Salah is out…!
Here in Qatar…somany Egyptians living…it would have been another home for them…!
You all will be surprised to see the support for Argentina in the stadium. Wait and see.
Where you living??
i hope we will have that support because it is expensive and difficult for Argentines to come to Qatar. if we have locals to support us that will be wonderful.
After Qatar, it’s from Argentina most tickets request came. So Somany Argentine will be here, sure…add to that a huge local support…it will be like home match for Argentina.
really? wow i am surpriced. very well then. i am happy to hear that.
Yaa also the indians working there is alos huge argentina fans there wont be any problem for ground support for argentina and brazil
So 2 of the 50-50 are confirmed: Rulli instead of Musso and LM Quarta instead or Pezzella.
If Rulli starts. I see Armani as Scaloni’s main back up and Rulli/Musso competing for the third goalie.
And thats not a good thing
well it is official. No game against Nigeria this time !!!!!! from 2006 has to happened that !!!
Yes.. hopefully everything goes well for Argentina… praying for a good path…
Argentina next friendlies:
1. June 1st vs Italy
2. Vs Israel (June, time to be confirmed)
3. Vs Australia (June, to be confirmed)
4. Brazil (June or September)
5. Mexico (September)
No Europeans yet other than Italy and Israel so far.
one more european please
if we draw with Mexico in world cup group it is imposible to play friendly against them.
in same time no friendly games will be fixed without we learn which teams we will face in world cup.
I rate juan foyth as good center back. It won’t be bad idea to start him as cb tonight cuz Ecuador are very fast.
I know he had some blunders before but who doesn’t likes Sergio Ramos, John stones, even otamendi to extend made bigger mistakes than him. Remember before C. Romero came to the scene foyth was supposed to be next big cb for arg nt yrs to come. One thing for sure foyth is beast in 1v1 situations plus he looks more mature now under Emery.
Uai Emery counts foyth the big matches that say a lot about him .
I don’t think none of the above mentioned center backs made blunders as frequently as Foyth. Does Emery play him in CB in a four-man back line, which is how Argentina plays? Had we played back three, I wouldn’t have mind to give Foyth more chances on the right side to see if he actually has matured.
