Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has announced his starting eleven for the match against Puerto Rico and Lionel Messi starts.
Lionel Messi is back in the starting eleven for Argentina after missing their 1-0 win against Venezuela. Messi played for Inter Miami, scoring twice in their 4-0 win against Atlanta United. Here is the starting eleven:
Emiliano Martínez; Montiel, Balerdi, Otamendi, Nicolás González; De Paul, Mac Allister, Lo Celso, Simeone; Messi and José Manuel López
I hope we are getting buttload of dollars from this game by playing Messi full game otherwise playing old Messi entire game is nonsense when we could have tried López and Toro combo. Rivero is real deal in-fact I like his game more than Senesi & Ballerdi. His anticipation and 1V1 game is better than them two. Hope this kid get even better by WC. I know he is playing weak opponent still his game reading is better plus he has more pace than Senesi
practice match for NT against FIFA 155th ranked Puerto Rico. Messi, Otamendi, Dibu, Depaul all wasting spots. Atleast play the youngsters in bench & Rulli. Only take away of this friendly window is Scaloni atleast starting to consider Nico G as a LB
