  1. Foyth is head and shoulders ahead of Ballerdi and current Otamendi and is faster than both, I am quite shocked that Scaloni is still sticking with Otamendi. Imagine him against Mbappe in the world cup. Also it is quite disappointing that Scaloni has failed to find a proper fullbacks to replace Acuña and one of Montiel/Molina !
