Nicolás Tagliafico has made Argentina national team history.
Tagliafico started for Argentina in the 2-0 win against Honduras, reaching 76 matches with Argentina. At 76 matches, he has overtaken Juan Pablo Sorín as the left back with the most matches with the Argentina national team.
The 33 year old has played 24 South American World Cup qualifying matches, 24 friendly matches, 17 Copa America matches, 10 World Cup matches and one Finalissima.
With the Argentina national team, Tagliafico has won one World Cup, two Copa America’s and one Finalissima trophy.
Juan Pablo Sorín played 75 matches with Argentina, 31 of them in South American World Cup qualifiers, 23 friendly matches, nine Copa America matches, seven World Cup matches and five Confederations Cup matches.
Very happy for Tagliafico. However, I do not understand what Almada and Lopez are doing in this team. Gianluca Prestianni in place of either of them was the desired one.
Couple of thoughts. 1) Juan Manuel Lopez is not a fit on this team. Dude looks completely utterly lost. You can bring a host of other players, even in other positions to contribute to this team. 2) how the hell did Almada get called up with his current form? What the hell did Simeone do to him at Atletico? He doesnt even look like the same guy. 3) Montiel is not that good that we have to worry about him. Giay is already probably better. 4) MacAllister needs to wake the hell up.
Medina as a left back is like Marcos Rojo. Very risky to gaining Yellow or Red card. Very rough Tackler…Anyway Congratulations Dear Tagliafico, and thank you for giving our Dream World Cup 2022
Vamos Taglia!
I’m happy that Medina looked great as an option for LB. Still many concerns for the opposite side of the pitch but it seems that’s Sorin’s legacy has been left in the good hands of “cleancut” Taglia.
