Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has named his starting eleven for the match against England at the World Cup and Lionel Messi starts.
Lionel Scaloni has made one change to the starting eleven which won 3-1 against Switzerland, Giuliano Simeone starts in place of Rodrigo De Paul. Here is the starting eleven:
Emiliano Martínez; Molina, Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Tagliafico; Simeone, Paredes, Mac Allister, Enzo; Messi and Julián Álvarez














This was probably the best performance by Argentina in this tournament
Yes, deffenetly so
Scaloni is a genius
What did I say this teams conserves, waits. They even wait for a goal and gight it out like lions in last 25 mins..boss also arrives only that time..if u can do that sweet isnt it. He got an assist with left a perfect cross with his right. Probably created 15 chances in last 20 mins until the 2nd goal..golden boot all the way..Macca could have scored 3 today. What intensity man, they know they are capable for 30 mins only with all the pumps and fists – such bunch of lazy bastartds! Kudos to Scaloni and this team. Fake fans cry and go watch EPL and suck up..sorry for my words. Smiling after avheart attack.
The spirit in this team was already undeniable. Today they brought back the quality on top of that. LA NUESTRA!!
This is why i cry for lautaro all day
Alverz+messi+lautaro+nico all same time on ground makes opposition vulnaruble
King Messi right footed assist broke England hearts
GET THOSE ENGLISH BASTARSDS OUT OF THE FIELD! FUCKING SOUR LOOSERS!
Come back kings Argentina 😎
FCK OFF ENGLAND! ARGENTINA IS FAR BETTER TEAM! VAMOS ARGENTINA🇦🇷✨🇦🇷 DESERVED WIN FOR ARGENTINA🇦🇷✨🇦🇷
Be in the match now..thank god later plz dont concede.
A bit of luck now please!! Bless us Diego!
Lautarooo ……come onnnnn
TOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Really? You need treatment after a header? Stones should be booked for time wasting.
A.FAR BETTER!
Come onnn…let’s do it! Oh god please help us!
FINISH EM OFF!! Today we deserve to win. We have been the better team.
Enzoooo scores
ENZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sad thing this has been Argentina’s most solid performance in the knockout stage. If not for Molina.
They didn’t play like that until they conceded a goal, and then fired the sense of urgency, typical Scaloni scheme.
Well it is what it is now. England can defend against set pieces all day. And in fraction they can counter attack too.
MOTHER FUCKING Scaloni. What garbages he brought in as substitutes?
De Paul comes to destroy any chance we had left. P.s De Paul seems intent on making me eat my words. I won’t complain.
As suspected by pundits, the speed of England killed us. This is the end.
Again it was Molina who was clueless who was running behind him.
Really bad from Molina just can’t defend like this as this was the only touch for England innour box for second half…..
A bit of Champion’s luck is needed at this point. I don’t think Argentina have played particualrly badly today, apart of Molina (and Messi in the first half).
No we did not played bad at all! We’re a way better than England!
Here comes the end to a fabulous journey since 2018.
How many times we’ve seen Gonzales’ headers, any of them was fruitful? Nope.
Why not bringing lautaro and lo celso
I don’t see any coming back this time guys. We had nice run
Still no lautaro nor lo celso bith are our best chance to score and xreate
What the hell pardees subbed making defence under more presure
Because he messed up with his starting 11, so he’s fixing that with his subs desperately. He needs to go.
Why the hell did Scaloni take off Paredes wtf? He was pivotal for us in first half. Molina and MacAllister are the worst guys today, we should have subbed them for Paz/Lo Celso and Montiel.
I don’t think this match will go our way.
hehe Scaloni, it’s too late to play with 2 wingers now. The British will hold on their one goal until the end.
Paredes was playing very well. Another bad sub by Scaloni. Should have taken off Enzo.
Take off Messi ASAP
Messi actually playing well now. The goal has woken him up.
I said it after 10 min of the game. Though who’s got the balls to do it?
Time for lautaro and nico and lo celso
Molina’s nick name is pure garbage.
Yeah there was no reason for him to try and get that with his opposite foot, like wtf.
Fucking Molina
Both our central defenders are on yellow cards !
Molina needs to be taken off now. P.s. too late. Is 4D chess again guys? Sticking with Molina?
If only mother fu** Scaloni had any football wisdom. This Molina guy won’t get into even Fiji national team.
Messi is not match fit aI think. Playing high intensity matches every 3 days is too much of an ask from a 39 year old even though he’s the goat..
That’s what I was saying, if Scaloni’s has balls he should’ve played Nico Paz in his place or even Lautaro.
Messi’s driblings are not making any positive difference anymore. He is just too slow now
Hello👋🏼, does anyone have any idea about from where I can watch this match live with English Commentary? If yes, then please help me out here. #RoyNemer
We are so slow in build up just don’t like it. I don’t understand why we are so static no movement whatsoever. Same team used to play with fluidity now it feels like they forgot about it
We are playing poor football without any sign of scoring. – Summary of the whole first half. They have taken all the initiatives to own the match and control it.
Let’s unleash Nico Paz today…Barco too if needed
Let’s see them
Already we saw Simeone is flop
Kane has surprisingly been quiet in this match. Hopefully it stays that way.
We should bring in someone like Nico Paz to replace Simeone. He would come with some creative display and also, being with fresh legs, run a lot to help Molina. Molina, as usual, is trembling from the word go.
Game of World Cup…..
You will see some fight some madness some cuteness some skill some rough& tough moments
I started to believe that Paz is injured but they are not saying to keep it secret.
The Simeone experiment has not clicked. We are completely at the mercy of the English players now. We played a game of wasting time. How long can we hold back Bellingham and others. We have been giving away freekicks in dangerous positions. We could not build even a single decent attack. Messi has really been bottled as committed by their coach in the press conference. He has walked the talk. Where is Alvarez? Where is MacAllister? All are busy defending like a minion team playing against a top tier team at group stage to secure a draw.
Simeone’s defensive tenacity is infectious – we know his skill set is limited.. I’m fine with his game play. Molina needs to go yet Montiel is the only option here so we have to roll the dice. We need Gonzales to come in or maybe add DePaul for more midfield defensive pressure, even though I rather opt for Paz or Barco in this game – but that’s super damn risky since they are not built yet for this moment.
Please provide me with a channel or link for watching england vs Argentina in English Commentary
Molina is shyt he wouldnt make starting 11 for andorra. How on earth Enzo worth 100M with that backpass and side pass
MOLINA AND SIMEONE
BOTH ARE FLOP
Simone isn’t flop yet Molina has been owned by Bellingham. Simone can’t synchronize with Messi only running absorbing English pressing. Lo Celso won’t track back effectively. Only Nico pas and taglifico side had no creativity. Whoever tires first will give edge to other team
Big big time + Messi is invisible.
Bro @WCRussia -What happened? We need you to comment after the Goals too. We need to celebrate together as Mundo Family. You completely stopped writing after Argentina’s goal. You were nonstop before the goals. I was concerned about your health. Are you ok?
We need free up Messi some how. Yea Licha card made us back foot. One goal might decide the game
This is electrifying, looks more like a battle field than a football pitch, compared to the snoozefest of a semifinal yesterday.
Simeone is such a hustler he tries and tries, its an even game till now, with fouls flying here and there. Unpredictable.
Both teams playing pretty poor. After seeing so far, I wonder if Spain players are on drugs. How could they run so much to create space and to press to recover the ball? Most of our players are happy walking and passing the ball back. Is it Messi effect?
Told ya Simeone blood’s never deliver when you need them the most…..need Nico Paz or Nico Gonzalez fast
Bro, Paz would collapse in this immense pressure. I am watching from the stadium. It’s very tense. We need experienced warriors
Bellingham is free But Messi is Caged
For us Dangerous is the yellow card of LICHA
Unfortunately
Nico paz is ideal for this kind of match. Because Messi is marked heavily
You are from the subcontinent right? How are you watching this match? Any particular channel or link with English Commentary (without subscription)?
sportsfeed24.org somtime .pk
Simeone is a flop .. De Paul is better player now..
You see why
Put Nico Paz in Simeone out
Time for messi to switch wings or deep play making
Anyine plz have straming links with englsh commnty plz share
Messi is playing fine. Molina and Simeone are disappointing.
They took Messi out of the game. We need quick passes and movement
Messi loosing it all the time
Messi giving the ball away so many times. So many English counterattacks (including Lisandro’s yellow card) starting with him.
Come one Leo. If you do not bring it this game, those idiotic criticisms like “Messi would not hack it in the EPL” will resurface.
Bench Messi and play Nico Paz. It’s that simple.
You need a slap in your face. is that simple
Hahaha
You’re simply on drugs.
Molina, the headless chicken. It’s a great mystery how he has been playing for the World champions for so many years.
Simeone turns out to be a flop, Bellingham owned him for God’s sake.
I was so desperate today to see lo celso in place of de paul tk have attacking creativity simione coming straight to semi is puring pressure on him
G Simeone seems over-enthusiastic. Grabbing Eng players in both Dboxes, thus wasting corners and increasing the chance of conceding a penalty. Someone should talk to him to calm down.
Messi is out of form. Very worrisome. Quite a few attacks ended with his poor first touch, or not chasing the ball. I know he can change gears any moment. Hopefully that happens soon.
Yes
Oh again. That would have been a Messi goal on most days.
We can’t afford to have 6km/per game player against such physical opponent.
Same old same old. Static midfield. Nobody wants to run and create space. Dangerous backpassinng near Dbox can bring disaster.
Argentina is playing with 10 players. Messi is run out of gas.
Molina is pure garbage.
Booing during both anthems already. Should set the tone for the match…
Big big opportunity for Simeone to prove his mettle. He not only needs to press the English but should also provide defence support to our weakest position.
Scaloni had the balls to drop De Paul. I like the change in theory. Cholito should be able to do what De Paul’s better version has done in the past, at least in terms of relentless running, pressing, tracking back, helping Messi and Molina. Hoping the Atletico connection and chemistry between Simeone and Molina pays off too.
Vamos Argentina carajo!
…..or maybe its just mind games. Sr Simione played in 1998
LAS MALVINAS SON Y SERAN SIEMPRE ARGENTINAS !!!
VAMOS ARGENTINA !!!
In the name of EL DIEGO and ANTONIO RATTIN! VAMOS ARGENTINA🇦🇷✨🇦🇷
Hay everyone Messi starts
How surprising mundo wouldn’t Simone starting be the headline
Suggestion !!!!!
We just gotta play football we know. England have been lucky with their games and to get so far. They will call for every thing. Let’s hope we get some good clean goals.
Simione cane play attacking ans well as defensively..So good substitution.. Definitely win this match..Stay calm..
Vamos vamos vamos vamos vamos
Eng
Pickford, Stones, Rice, Elliot Anderson, Reece James, Guehi, Morgan Rogers, Spence, Gordon, Bellingham কানে
England started with little defensive mindset..they bench Saka & Madueke
Scaloni has made the change that most people on this forum wanted (or at least that’s what they suggested before the match). Let’s hope it will be effective. Vamos Argentina
Definitely a better replacement for de paul and who can provide the speed..Cannot change the team too much – considering many of them have just started scoring goals..The substitutions is going to be the difference – just like Almada against Swiss..
Midfield needs to control the game from start to finish…..
England has 4 super duper midfielders with morgan rogers also in….this mid will control the game…sorry to say England are way more superior….I hope we don’t face a humiliation like Brazil’s 2014
Bro this is england not spain,ok they have been hot favourite in every wc and then flop as well,in this wc they faced some easy birds ok,
Believe in team..Belive in our midfield . mesii will paying in also deep.stay calm.
C’mon man… why so negative.. we will see.. whatever happens need to go out there and fight
We will win Sabya
Also German brain behind this team, and his tactical plan has been extraordinary thus far. He’s making 3 changes for this game, I salute his bravery.
We don’t need this kind of pessimism right before the game, bros. Stay calm and enjoy.
Vamos.
This is a positive change. RDP has not only been slow but also sloppy, lost a lot of possession and offered nothing in defense or attack. With Simeone we will have pace , threat from wings and someone who can trackback and defend! Hopefully England won’t be able to string multiple passes together & enforce wave after wave of attack unlike our last three encounters! Additionally, we have to score first!! English defense is vulnerable than ours and have conceded equal number of goals like us.
Right on, brother. Since Saka has not been playing, England are more of a threat on the left side with Gordon. Like you pointed out, Simeone can help the team a lot offensively and help Molina with Gordon. I like the move.
Do us proud Simeone
I think Simeone will be super flop today…..Gonzalez would have done a better job…..Would have preferred Barco over Enzo
Barco over Enzo? lol
At this level, this is not the winning formula by playing the same players who struggled against 10 men Switzerland. We need fresh young legs more than anything else.
Cannot change whole team, Simone is already starting it’s now substitute management during match
No team in the WC changes all the players.
No one says let’s change the entire team. Barco is a must in this game, so is Nico Paz, but then again I don’t expect them to perform as expected because they should have been given play time in the early stages of the tournament. 100% manager fault.
Vamos vamos Argentinos
Good luck.
