Hope he pops up on the first call up sheet post Qatar
Luka Romero is starting vs Juventus.
Lol..i decided to skip this game but mind change after seeing him…already four game watched… tired!
Ten hag known garnacho talents but didn’t want for him to make it to the world cup. That’s why he choose to play him regularly now. He knows it’s to late for him to make the team with just a couple matches. Shame on u ten hag.
No it’s not true. It was Garnnacho’s attitude problem, pushed him away from the chances at the starting of the season. Now he’s trying to control that, so he’s getting his chances. Most importantly, he’s utilizing that opportunity. His confidence level is very high just like his idol cristiano, he thinks he’s the best player.
The away fans were chanting ARGENTINA ARGENTINA ARGENTINA ARGENTINA enough said
Enough said indeed
Alejandro Garnacho!!
This kid plays like he belongs. Much more than just talent. He believes this is his game.
Not sure we left a key player behind.
If it’s at the expense of Joaquin Correa that would’ve been good, but at the expense of someone else? Big No!
Only if Nico G is not fit.
He did not play today…
It’s unthinkable to lose Nico.
Normally yes, but he ain’t playing.
Hopefully Wednesday.
I think he could go ahead of J Correa. I really don’t rate J Correa at all.
Plus, the experience to be with someone fiercely competitive as Messi at a World Cup would have done him good for 2026.
Above all kill all the Spain rumors
English commentators already think Scaloni made a mistake by not selecting him. Explosive action and great skill.
Agree, he is better than J. Correa.
Did scaloni make a mistake not taking garnecho?piter drury said he(garnecho) will come 2026 wc america the spanish boy.is he playing for spain in future.
No,Rebecca Lowe had to correct the record after the game.
He ain’t playing for Spain, why is it that Argentines are always associated with this and that country just because they were born there
Because the most of us we have Spanish or Italian ancestory.
Hello everyone,
Commenting after a long gap. Have been a member in this beautiful forum since 2011 Copa. One thing I observe, I have never seen this level of optimism among Albiceleste brothers before any tournament. This underline the fact that this is the most balanced team we had since the 2006 World Cup- the team of Magicians & Artists.
Lo Celso will be missed. But atleast Scaloni & team got time to prepare for the damage. Apart from that, it’s all positives. Leo & Lautaro completed their games without trouble. Dybala is back with a bang. We got 2 super subs now in Dybala & Angelo. (I want Dyabala & Messi to start together and create havoc in opposition lines since the group games, but less likely). Di Maria should not start the games atleast in group stages.
This is my favorite 11 for the first Big Game.
Dibu;
Molina, Cuti, Ota,Acuna:
DePaul,Guido.
Leo, Dybala,Papu
Lautaro.
What a hit by granacho..just world class finish
That idiot Simione…….can not have enough of blaming him…..single handedly roasted Angel Correa….
