Only Argentine coaches could keep benching generational talent for older, out-of-form players just because they have been with the national team longer. Bielsa picked an aging Batistuta, who was coming back from injury, over Crespo in 2002. Pekerman left Messi on the bench while playing Saviola and Julio Cruz in 2006, Messi was a better finisher than Crespo in 2006 already!! Sampaoli gave Pavon multiple opportunities over Dybala in 2018. Now Scaloni benched Nico Paz in favor of his overrated favorites Almada and G.Simeone.
I honesty believe Paz was ready and should have started against Spain, with Nico Gonalez coming on later as an impact sub. We lost to a team with with an average attack. That team was 100% beatable but Scaloni with his starting xi and approach made sure we didn’t beat them
