Argentina preliminary list for June World Cup qualifiers

1. Is there a typo? Why would Scaloni call up Giovani Simeone who hardly plays and then not continue the selection of Guiliano Simeone who is a way better winger and calls up Garnacho instead. Sometimes I don’t understand what Scaloni does. Is Guiliano injured or something?

   • Yeah, it’s a typo. It will be Giuliano Simeone instead.

     • You’re right, I just checked the AFA Instagram page and what you said checks out.

2. Many of these players are going for Club World Cup right? They will be able to play both..?

3. I think nico dominguez is there to be shift as right back there is no way he will have a chance to play as midfield

   • He never played as a RB, Foyth is there to cover that position if Molina does not play.

     • I was him once playing as wing back for forest

4. Scaloni is paying attention to the form, players who are regular and performing are called up, and vice versa. But maybe he does not rate the Brazilian league and only prefers European based players with some exceptions, hence no Bernabei again.

   Glad Barco is called up. The CB pecking order is shaping up too: Cuti, Otamendi, Balerdi, Medina, Foyth.

   Taty is back, but Castro and Benja are not, they have not played much in the last couple of months.

   Garnacho can consider himself lucky to be given a chance, let’s see if he stays on the trimmed list. Nico Dominguez – a deserved call up, he’s a very decent box-to-box player.

   Notice, nobody from the local league, no more Pezzella, Montiel, etc.

   • I really believe the only way Garnacho makes the World Cup squad is if there’s an injury to Simeone and Gonzalez.
