  1. Scaloni is a very conservative coach, why in 80′ change some players?why not use Barco?this team has no any chance on world cup

    • Relax! It was just a “money” friendly game which Argentina have to have certain players in the first 11 to get paid. That’s why not that many changes and Chopin

    • The original plan was to play 1 African team and Indian Cricket team. India Cricket team dropped out in the last minute and there was no time to find a replacement.

      AFA should have organized Argentina A vs Argentina B match instead

  2. Very Disappointed. We lost against a very weak Mexican u-17 team in tie breaker. One of the key reason for our loss is terrible team selection by placente. You can not change team in every match. Placente should learn from lionel scaloni. Dropping of midfielder gomez matter is not acceptable at any cost.

  3. This looks like a false back 4 formation, asymmetrical, Foyth a more tucked RB, Nico G will bomb forward on the left, Almada will drift inside.
