The Argentina national team will wear the blue shirt againat England at the World Cup.
Argentina is going to wear their alternate kit againat England, just as they did at the 1986 World Cup when Diego Maradona scored two goals. According to Gastón Edul, Argentina had requested for them to wear the blue shirt and they will wear it against England in the semi finals.
Lionel Scaloni’s team have worn it once at the World Cup, in the 3-1 win against Jordan.
Many football pundits and former England internationals believe—quite understandably—that England’s high-tempo attack gives them the edge. Based on the last three matches from both teams, they deserve to start as favourites.
This fixture also carries enormous historical and emotional weight, specially for us, and the build-up will inevitably be dominated by that narrative. The challenge for Argentina is to ensure the occasion fuels the team rather than distracts it.
That’s where Scaloni becomes crucial. He has to strip away the emotion and approach this as just another tactical battle—another adventure, another opportunity to write a memorable chapter.
So when I read that he is considering a change in formation, I welcomed it. England are not a team we should face with predictable patterns. If ever there was a match to surprise the opposition and rethink our approach, this is it.
(🌕) A change of formation is a possibility for the game against England.
