A message: Changes to Mundo Albiceleste, reduced ads, new design

Hello everyone,

Since the start of the new year, we have been experimenting with different ads and locations across the Mundo Albiceleste website. And if we are being completely honest, it was time for a permanent change.

We have also been hearing and reading all of your feedbacks and are happy to announce what we believe are significant changes. The number of ads on the website have been reduced (we believe significantly) and ultimately, while the ads do help in keeping up with the maintenance of the website, we still want every one to enjoy viewing and reading the content.

Mundo Albiceleste was built by Argentina fans and for Argentina fans, which is why we believe that should remain the priority and will remain the priority.

Should you have any comments or suggestions, please, do let us know in the comments below or email us at mundoalbiceleste10@gmail.com. Our aim is to continue to improve and to provide more content (which we will continue to be doing and will be introducing new sections throughout the year) than we ever have before. And to aim for quality over quantity.

As always, your feedback is strongly appreciated. Mundo Albiceleste has been around since 2006 and we would not be where we are without the Mundo Albiceleste family.

Thank you,

“Everything that we are living here is a dream. The support from the people is sensational.

Lionel Messi, Valentín Barco and Thiago Almada score for Argentina in 3-0 win vs. Iceland

Lionel Messi, Valentín Barco and Thiago Almada scored for Argentina in their 3-0 win against Iceland.

The first half saw Argentina seeing much of the ball and it was Valentin Barco would score the first goal of the match. Argentina would cross the ball into the penalty area, Iceland were unable to clear, the ball fell to Valentin Barco and he would score from outside of the penalty area to give Argentina the 1-0 lead.

Argentina would continue to see more of the ball. A cross from Valentin Barco to Nico Paz but his effort from close range was saved by the goalkeeper.

Lionel Scaloni would make five substitutions. It was Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, Rodrigo De Paul, Cristian Romero and Lautaro Martínez for Giovani Lo Celso, Exequiel Palacios, Valentín Barco, Lisandro Martínez and José Manuel López.

Argentina would almost score a second goal. Nico Paz received the ball out wide and played it across the Iceland penalty area to Lautaro Martinez but he was unable to get to the ball.

Scaloni would make more substitutions. Nicolás González and Thiago Almada for Nicolás Otamendi and Nico Paz.

Lautaro Martinez would receive the ball out wide, he would cut inside but his effort hit the post. Scaloni would substitute in Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Montiel for Giuliano Simeone and Agustín Giay.

Moments after being substituted in, Lionel Messi would receive the ball and with his first touch of the ball, he would drag it and play a pass to Lautaro Martinez. He would chip the goalkeeper, get tackle but his effort would go wide and the referee would award Argentina a penalty kick on the tackle.

Lionel Messi would take it and he would score to give Argentina the 2-0 lead.

At 2-0, Lionel Messi would play a pass to Rodrigo De Paul who would go out wide and his pass into the penalty area found Thiago Almada who scored Argentina’s third goal of the match.

The Argentina national team will play Algeria in their first match at the World Cup on June 16 in Kansas City.
