Argentina national team list, Lionel Messi included

1. Hello guys !
   Between Santi Beltran and Leandro Brey who do you think could replace Dibu (34), Rulli (34) or Musso (32) for next events ? Or do you have other GK in mind ?

2. This is kind of a Messi tribute giving squad, and we cant say anything about it what Scaloni will be doing with us for future. This squad doesnt excite much to be fair.

3. Where is matteo pellegrino?? He should have been there over castro……pellegrino also has the ability to play for Spain. He should be included

4. I was hoping Dybala would finally get a call-up to the national team.

5. I think MacAlister have a ok world cup, scoring against Switzerland and hitting the post twice against England. I trust Scaloni and our players. Of course I wanted to win the final and we were very close the get it to penalties. France also have a hard time against Spain. The win against England was impressiv!

6. After giving due farewell to Messi and consortes Scaloni still may field this impressive midfield out of the above names:

   …………………………Paz……..Barco
   …Mastantuono…………Soule…………………..Prestianni

   still few local league names to be added in Thursday.

   • I see a midfield with young players :

     Enzo and Barco as ball (Mac and Barrenechea-> for now could be backups)

     Soule on the Right side (Mastantuono or Giu Simeone would be backups)

     Prestrianni on the Left side (for now Almada or Garnacho could be backups)

     Paz in the middle (Echeverri could be the backup)

     What do you think ?

     • I think really good, similar to mine. I prefer Soule over Mastantuono too. Paz and Prestianni are no brainers here. However I don’t see a need for both Barco and Enzo on the smaller opponents. That would be too defensive minded. With that I see Paz easily adapted to the deeper more box-to-box (if needed) role along regular DM (Barco/Enzo) as his physical sturdiness is something to exploit. He is way more physically tough than other our midfielders. He is often dropping deep in Como anyway. And with moving him back you have the free space for one another Mundo fav one LOL like Mastantuono. None of the three Prestianni, Soule, Mastantuono does not look like merely attacking midfielder/winger without some tackling abilities (Prestianni is really good on this tracking back) so I consider overall defensive strength of this 5-man apparently ‘optimistic’ midfield quite solid.

7. If this is not for Messi’s farewell this lisy makes no sense. I mean MacAllister, De Paul, Nicolas Gonzalez… being there are justified only to bid farewell to Messi. Otherwise makes no sense. Of course good to see Prestianni, Paz, Soule, Mastantuono, Giay, Castro

   • Macallister is balling for Liverpool. Even scored and gave an assist today. Wtf are you talking about

     • We have plenty of in form players. Who cares about his Liverpool form when he was disaster in WC and part of that final shame (didn’t created single shoot opportunity) . You can’t recognize those who are burned out.

       • He definitely wasn’t disaster in world cup. Infact he was one of our most performing midfielder.

         The final. Everyone collectively played poor. The overly Pragmatic scaloni tactics is also to blame

         Stop hating for the sake of hating..

         • Yes, he and De Paul was biggest disaster in midfield. Excluding defenders whoever is part of the final shame should be removed or under serious doubts. How can’t you create single opportunity having 120 min? And how can you blame for that coach only? MacAllister is World Champion, silver medallist of WC and 2 times golden medallist of Copa. He has nothing to offer anymore. Every team paid bitter price for sticking with the burned out stars who will never ever more muster the energy recquired for trophies. First thing is to have challenges. MacAllster et consortes have no more challenges. There’s absolutely no sense of playing single minute with MacAllister or De Paul against Benin, Burkina Faso, Bolivia. What’s his challange against the teams? The guy can’t create single opportunity against Spain and we should be happy because he can do that against Burkina Faso? What’s the goal. As I’ve said such call ups are understandable only as idea to have them all on the Messi farewell party.

8. Perrone deserve the call up…why he’s missing

   • Calling likes Santiago Castro who is yet to settle and Nico Gonzalez is criminal. Maximo Perrone has been consistent over the last 3 seasons at COMO.

     Once Messi retires scaloni should drop likes of DePaul, paredes, Molina, Locelso, Nico Gonzalez, Almada for good

     • Almada is ok. Still young, maybe sub for Prestianni
