Dybala, Parades and Palacios were all made from glasses. Stay fit and hunger for the trophy
Damnit Dybala. Always injured. H
He can be at best our super sub. Fully Depending on him will be nothing but insanity and Scaloni knows thats. However he can still be a great option off of the bench in 2026, if he manages to arrive fully fit.
Two good penalties from paredes but overall game palacios outplayed him nevertheless both should be starters in our midfield copa America
