Argentina play Chile on Thursday night and there are reports that Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez will both start.
Lionel Scaloni is set to start both Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez with Nicolás González in attack. According to Gastón Edul, this is the starting eleven:
Emiliano Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Lisandro; De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández; Julián Álvarez, Lautaro and Nicolás González.
Does anyone have a free link to watch the game? A link that’s not on one of these spammy sites with tons of pop-ups?
The only thing I wish Scaloni should start considering is start phasing off likes of Pezella, Otamedi and Acuna.
I hope we will see introduction of new faces like Alan Varela, Cristian medina, Echeverri and Franco Manstatuono.
Fully agreed!
Meanwhile Fenerbahçe have officially contacted Boca Juniors and said they will give an answer tomorrow regarding whether they accept the counter-offer for Cristian Medina.
Boca Juniors agree to sell Medina for $15 million, but only if he leaves in January.
If Fenerbahce allows the player to stay until December, Medina will be sold.

I like this player. I hope he joins Europe very soon.
Hopefully so as he is deffenetly an intresting one!
That’s great lineup
Youngsters this young players that even Messi had to start from the bench. That’s how it works. They get few minutes to impress hopefully earn more minutes til they learn to fight to be starters in training and grow with the group. Nothing should be handed free to Garnacho or Carboni at all because they are young. Even if it’s Chile, it’s still a difficult match.
Exactly
Any time for cooking
No, ordering pizza from this Sicilian spot.
I like this lineup but I would have Paredes over Fernandez. Also, Garnacho and Dybala better get some playing time in second half… I hope at least.
Yes deffenetly so and specially Dybala needs to show or convince Scaloni and CO or he might not get another chance, which will be bummer if he can stay fit and perform in Europe…
Enzo Fernandez of late has not been convincing. Unfortunately for Paredes his horror show vs empoli weakened his chances. Perhaps it’s high time Scaloni starts exploring likes of Varela and Equi Fernández to bench Enzo Fernandez until he regains his form
Absence of Garnacho and Carboni surprises me. But after the display in the final Nico deserved this prize.
It can’t be true, it is time for Scaloni to give Garnacho the left wing position. I don’t really understand how Argentina manage his player, maybe this country is too blessed with good player
It’s too early. Nico Gonzalez maybe sometimes annoying but has matured in his role. He is the best suited considering both his offensive and defensive qualities. Garnacho is good but not ready. That position is demanding & requires alot of physicality.
Agreed bring Garna on as sub against tired legs and maybe bring also the likes of Soule or Carboni as sub too, but i really want to see Dybala getting as minutes of possible as it is his time now or might not get another call up..? and hopefully he can convince Scaloni and CO.
Based on the players likely to start, I think Scaloni will play with a 5-3-2 formation. I imagine Licha, Cuti and Ota as center-backs, Nico González as left-back/midfielder, and Lautaro and Julián upfront. I like it.
That’s too defensive. Why against Chile?
Could be very well so as 3 at the back and Nico G. and Molina as wingback’s make’s kind of Sense as maybe more in Molina’s case as i think he has more to offer offensively and has not been on his best deffensively, but that right side of the defence need’s someone for the future…., but right now it is what it is and Molina can easily raise back his old level, which he had for long and just after WC his form started to dip etc…
Very good team in overall and hopefully they can get it going and be able to create as much chanches as possible also considering the game after will be in Baranquilla etc.
The failure to give playing time to younger players will cost us down the line. Tagliafico Otamendi Acuna will mean NOTHING to this club in 2 years when the World Cup rolls around. The last young player integrated in this team was Enzo. Barco needs to start at back for us, as well as giving Carboni and Garnacaho some time. I don’t understand what the hell Scaloni is doing with these fucking fossils. I get it, they won everything, but we all lose the battle against time.
Irrespective of if Argentina winning with this format, I am not fan of playing Nico, lautaro and Alvarez upfront together. I like having a playmaker and fast wingers who can score. Nico, I don’t know why he is first choice every time without scoring!!!
