Lionel Messi will miss Inter Miami’s match agaisnt New York FC.
Messi will not play on Saturday as he continues to recover. The 36 year old missed Argentna’s two matches against El Salvador and Costa Rica due to an injury.
He will not play on Saturday against New York FC and the idea is for him to be fit for their CONCACAF Champions Cup match against Monterrey on Wednesday.
Dezerbi played Valentin barco for only a minute. That’s huge disrespect.
I have to agree with previous comments regarding Bounanonte. There are better young Argentine players way better than him. His first touch is frustrating to watch.
His 1st touch is terrible…
Argentina U 17s lost 1-2 to host France and exited the tournament.
River youngster Felipe Esquivel was outstanding and also had a fine goal disallowed.
He was exceptional. Here is his match against France

Enzo again as usual had a great game in the midfield, created multiple chances only to br wasted by his team-mates. His positioning again got him into dangerous positions numerous times but again as usual failed to capitalize on any of them. First one saved by keeper that hit the post. Others straight into the keeper or blocked by defenders. And most hilarious was he had a open shot volley at the goal just outside the box but failed to connect and completely missed the ball. He really needs to improve his finishing. His ball progression and positioning is better than any top young midfielders but his poor finishing is letting him and his team down.
Acuña is starting for Sevilla now. Bad news for Barco chances?
Barco has no chances wo playing time imo
Yeah, agreed, at best we can hope that Brighton would release him for the Olympics.
Even if Acuna not fit, chances for Barco is very very less for Copa. That’s what you understand from Scalon’s talk after the match.
While Ocampos is slowly slipping to RWB, lately. Barco’s chances will definitely come after copa. Balerdi case is more puzzling. Despite making strong case he has been constantly overlooked. I doubt whether Otamendi, Martinez (Quarta ‘n Lisandro), Pezzella, even Medina are in better form than him, currently.
I don’t know what’s up with Balerdi. Scaloni and co called him, saw him in training and perhaps did not like what they saw, who knows….
Speaking of Ocampos, if he keeps being played in that position, I’d be interested in seeing him tried as a RB. In theory he has the pace, stamina and physicality to play there.
Engamche pethaps it is one of the possibile explanations. After all, Scaloni and his team always touches the base. More so, when one recaps that Scaloni had already capped him a while he was unused substitute in Dortument and way before many of the current starters, Romero uncluded?
As you surmised it then, May be tactical reasons of zhe coaching staff as he defintely possess an acceptable attributes of a decent defenders.

As you surmised it then, may be tactical reasons would make more sense as Valerdi possess an acceptable attributes of a decent defender.
In this upcoming COPA, if both Tagliafico and Acuna are fit both will be selected in the squad. Scaloni will mostlikely pick the same world cup squad with only few new additions like Garnacho and Walter Benitez. Unless Monteil is injured he will also go. And to be fair unlike 2018, the 2022 sqaud is fairly young most of them are approaching their peak.
Is acuna that bad? He’s aging I know. But I would take him over many
Enlighten me, I may be missing something
He had a pretty bad spell this season, form wise and then injury. If he regains form, then by all means. But at the same time, I don’t feel good about having 2 players over 30 playing in a very demanding fullback position where you expected to run a lot.
