Argentina shirts numbers announced for the 2022 World Cup

1. i kinda like it when keepers take 99.

2. Thanks for the welcome back!
   Yes, correct, you know I have been checking the site even when I wasn’t participating. Where else am I going to get news on my team and hear a whole bunch of stuck up Argentina fans ranting and raving! 😂
   One of the things I want to comment on from the old posts is the new jerseys, and since this is about shirt number…. Here’s my review.
   Just as a preface, I own so many jerseys that I am ashamed to say the number. I think around 55 if you care to know.

   I purchased both the home and away. I love the home, the black touches just make the jersey look more “expensive” and clean. The neck fits well, the team crest feels that it’s a bit off location but that’s just me being picky.
   I bought the away jersey because I have to, but I was worried it would be awful. But It’s the best purple ever! The design is unique and the different hues of purple around the borders look great. Especially the flames, awesome design.
   I have one issue with this away jersey tho….The neck fits wide. Not a fan of how it fits. I thought it was my skinny neck but then I watched our last friendly some weeks back and noticed it fit the players similarly. Both fit true like the older adidas jerseys so if u skinny like me then you should stick to medium. I don’t have a picture of me with the new jerseys yet, I will take some soon. But I will change my profile to the last jersey before I post new Jersey so you guys can see the fit difference.
   Anyways, I will be back tonight, I have some things to say about our midfield and about asado.

   • What is asado??

     • ???? You don’t know asasdo Anu???????
       Well since you are a fan of the team then from here on you not only need to know, but you need to try it.
       Asado is Argentina style barbecue. We burn wood till it’s only embers ,
       then slow cook meat, mainly beef. Then we eat with bread and chimichirra sauce. The asado can take some hours to prepare. I will talk more about it and the dilemma I will be having with it on our first game

       • Okay great. I didn’t know that. But im from India. I don’t think i have the option to try asado here

         • Doesn’t have to be beef. pork sausages, lamb, and chicken are less common but acceptable.

         • also, i don’t think i can remember an asado that i didn’t eat both pork sausages and beef. the others are def less common.

   • > I think around 55

     lol i thought i was over the top with 10

     • Lol. I collect alot of south American club jerseys. And of course slot of Argentina jerseys
       I have some I’ve never worn .

       • I’m pissed adidas sold out of the authentic home kit…

         • U shopping for the replica or authentic? The one main difference is the authentic fits fighters and the emblems are stitched rather than ironed on.

         • i always go for authentic. bummer.

         • Hey, get the authentic replica. The authentic one which is much more expensive doesn’t last as long. It wear out after you wear it 10 times I have authentic replicas which are made for the fans that I have been wearing since 2006!

3. For world cup matches….
   De paul…paredes….palacios/ macalester….?
   I’m really confused here, scaoloni know better but i will take macalester / Palacios or even Enzo..
   But big no to papu. What Mrinal said i agree with him. I think papu could just Play Against weak team otherwise no.Even gonzales is better in gio position than papu

4. Sadio Mané will miss the first match against Netherlands. Big loss for Senegal.

   This means Netherlands will be very likely to top Group A and meet us at quarter final…

   • Equador can also top the group don’t underestimate equador. Netherlands is a strong team and should top their group but funny things have happened in wc.

5. Good luck Messi & Co. Here is my balanced XI:
   Emi
   Foyth, Cuti, Lisandro/ota, Acuna
   D Paul Guido Palacios
   Messi
   Maria. Lautaro

   Sub: Molina/Tagliafico, McAlister, Papu, Dybala, Alvarez

   • This is balanced?? 🤣🤣🤣 guido paredes doesn’t work

     • agree guido + paredes is horrible but Vamos26 posted D Paul Guido Palacios

       • Oh i misread 😂🤣😹 thanks for mentioning

6. Hard and glad to hear Renato Sanches is omitted from Portugal squad. He’s really a frightening player.

   Playing Papu Messi Lautro Alvarez same time obviously makes us weaker defensively. A lot and lot depends entirely on De Paul. His form is very crucial for us. Another crucial player is Tagliafico. He is more defensive than Acuna. Slowly the nerve is dominating.

   • Lautaro alvarez press and defend like crazy. What are you speaking?? Messi yes but even papu may not defend like locelso but does decent defensive work

     • Apart from Messi everyone need to contribute defensively. Lautaro and Alvarez are fine with pressing but not convincing defensively. Still not clear with Alvarez role. Is he a direct replacement for Lautaro ? Clearly Papu can’t give the same defensive balance like Nico Gonzalez. But Nico’s fitness is still not clear. Another very important player. Fine with any formation except 343. Defense of four gives us a calmness. Hope Scaloni don’t mess with substitutions like a curse all our previous coaches did.

       • Its world cup. Even if you are messi you have to defend you have to press. He has to defend and press in 4 matches that should not be a problem. All 10 players have to defend and press in knockouts

7. Lionel Scaloni on Lo Celso replacement: “When Lo Celso wasn’t available and other players who were instead of him did very well. We have many variants, it depends on the game and opponent.” from albicelestestalk

   • Our midfield will be decent but everyone praising McAllister but i still don’t find him that good he lacks any creativity atall even forward passing and ball carrying forward is lacklustre but he can shoot well or score

     • Did I talk about macallister? Listen I support Argentina I don’t care who starts or who sit on the Bench as long we win, I don’t have hate or love towards any particular player, I’m hoping those who goes the field make Argentina fans in worldwide proud, no point to stress this player or that player or worry about what will happen in the future
       Just enjoy this Argentina side who are very competitive team and have realistic chance to win the gold think positive too much negative ain’t gonna change nothing.

   • he also said “Football wise, we have no player with the characteristics of Lo Celso.”

     Good thing we have options but he is missed.

8. As per Sofascore, he is one of the Top 10 players of current premier league season.

   As per Whoscored, he’s one of the Top30 players of the current premier league season.

   He’s the best Brighton player of the season both by Whoscored and Sofascore.

   He’s the best Argentine player in the Premier league this season, both by Whoscored and Sofascore.

   He’s still in the Top10 best tacklers in this Premier league season, sitting at 8th, next to Casemiro.

   He’s also top in interceptions in the premier league this season..top20 (sitting 17th).

   He’s one of the best in penalties, free kicks, corner kicks, positioning, recoveries, holding the ball, shooting, etc etc..

   Here in this forum;

   “he’s below average and always will be”,
   “he’s horrible player for NT, just okay player for Brighton”,
   “he should be nowhere near to NT”,
   “another Meza” etc etc.

   Even a Brazilian player doesn’t deserve this much hate here…!

   • Sofa,who or other website statistics are not good..Only Pundits personal statistics is real!

     • Dont mind him. let the professor be posting “thesis research”

9. Both Mac allister and papu are weak defensively. I think Palacios is the best option in lo celso’s position. You need player with good work rate in mid field

   • Not fan of Mac Allister myself but to be fair to him he is not defensively weak, in fact he plays as defensive midfielder for his club or at least a no 6 in a double pivot. It’s his offensive contribution I am more concerned about.

     Agree that on balance, with all things considered, Palacios is the best replacement for Lo Celso as long as he stays fit of course.

     • TYC possible starting line up: Emi; Molina, Cuti/Pezzella, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Guido, De Paul, Papu/MacAllister; Messi, Julian Alvarez, Lautaro

       Scaloni said he will not take a risk. The ones recovering from injuries like Acuna, Paredes, Di Maria, Dybala likely won’t start. He said Cuti is OK, let’s see if he will start.

       • Possible Starting line up in tomorrow’s friendly?

       • MacAllister joined today..? Where is Palacios?

   • Mac allister is better in the terms of defence than Palacios. Replacing lo celso with papu will be a disaster in waiting.

   • Joke. Best defensively is Mac Allister..not Papu or Palacios.

   • Lol soumya you are calling a defensive minded midfielder to be weak defensively. Better watch some Brighton games

     • Lol Anuparno If we consider Mac allister defensive minded player then why don’t we consider Enzo there? Palacios is injury prone otherwise he is much better than Mac

   • Mac Allister is weak defensively? If anything that’s one of his biggest strengths

10. Scaloni wants maximum subs allowed, so that everyone will get a chance before the WC.
