  2. I think it’s a little bit special. I’d drop Pezella but bring Foyth.
    And how about Dominguez, early Scaloni he was part of the team and even scored…
    Dominguez is a very consistent Midfielder…

    Front three I’m excited to watch Messi Nico and Alvarez…
    IMO Garnacho needs some more time but still good to see him in NT

  4. Best Argentina haphazard/random starting eleven a la MaxiLopez 🤣

    Blazquez; Molina, Minissale, Licha, Lucas Esquivel; Enzo, Sforza, Santi Simon; Messi, Alvarez, Zeballos.
