Nahuel Molina is set to start for Argentina against England at the World Cup.
Molina will be in the starting eleven for Argentina. According to Gastón Edul, Molina will be starting for Argentina.
Lionel Scaloni held a press conference where he stated that there could be changes to the team.
Our confirmed line up
Emiliano Martínez; Molina, Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Tagliafico; Simeone, Paredes, Mac Allister, Enzo; Messi and Julián Álvarez
Rumoured line up of Eng-
Pickford; James, Stones, Guehi, Spence; Anderson, Rice; Rogers, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane
These last few hours does not seem to pass. I think Scaloni will tweak the line up today. Players like simione or barco might not have been preferred against physically strong switzwrland.. but may be they will get some minutes.
Whatever the team let us give them hell!! VAMOSSS
Confirmed lineup change. Simeone for DePaul. That’s it
Big news… NEITHER Saka nor Madueke starting for England. They’re tryna go Morgan Rogers at RW. He cuts inside more and isn’t direct but probably the best ball carrier in the world – not really got a creative passing range like that. Good dribber however despie him not being fast he isn’t bullied off the ball easily. I think they’re tryna pack the middle and out number us.
THEY’RE afraid and adapting to our best combo. How interesting. We have to be VERY technically secure tonight. No ifs and no buts. Can’t be sloppy and giving the ball away. Paredes is a must. He HAS to dominate the ball and control the tempo.
Vamos …Argentina will fight hard and win..
At this point, it’s no brainer:
You play with the same 11 tired legs = giving away the crown and play for the 3rd winner game.
I was at the Switzerland game. The fans are the best in the world and they will get the team fired up. When two teams are equal, its luck that separates them. I hope and pray for good luck today.
If Molina starts then going by Scaloni’s usual pattern, Gonzalez wouldn’t start. Scaloni keeps one wingback at a time and it’s either Molina or Gonzalez. Unless we are playing 3-5-2 chances of seeing two wingbacks at the same time is 0.
So if Molina starts, then Tagliafico plays on the left, and possibly Enzo as the midfielder. And, when Molina starts, we will have De Paul as that side’s midfielder. I don’t think Simeone and Moline will play at the same time. That will be playing two right wingbacks.
Why? Can’t nico play as left winger?? Like dimaria??
Have you seen him play? His only capability is running like a terrier.
Exactly.
Simeone will come later I feel like to deal with Rashford threat to help the fullback. I don’t know why are we sweating here coz this wingers. We kept Neymar ,Vini,Rafinha and Diaz quite
Yeah, we shouldn’t be worried about wingers, especially England’s. England’s threats are Kane and Bellingham. Nothing else.
Morgan Rodgers starting apparently for England instead of Saka ! I hope the Argentina shows up today. To big occasion to lose today
Who is morgan rodgers?? Is he better than saka??
Plays for Aston Vila. He is an attacking Midfielder. He is okay .
I think England won’t be able to play their usual game today. The inclusion of Simeone and González will give an extra advantage to the forwards. I hope it will be another exciting match. I heard many Latin American teams today are rooting for England. I know we Argentines boast about our European identity rather than our Latin one. Argentina is rich both financially and in football talent compared to any other Latin American country, so we don’t need their support.
So what will be the formation?
I think Scaloni might opt for both 4-4-2 and 5-3-2
Argentina is a poor country what are you talking about
Refresh your knowledge bro. Argentina could be anything but poor. It is not considered first-world, but its a developed country. Our per capita gdp is slightly below Uruguay and Chile. Come visit and then compare. You will feel like visiting any European country.
Seeing this world cup one thing is sure scaloni is not that great a manager we thought he is.even in last wc some of his decisions were questionable.put him in any national team or any club he will flop big time.only credit of him he created a system around messi and messi and some talented young players bailed him out numerous times.i hope scaloni prove me wrong tonight.but reaching semi by playing cabo verde, egypt, switzerland is no big fear.our path is super easy and it’s a big failure if we can’t reach final atleast.if we loose today we will be the laughing stock of the world media.the all respect we earned because of the winning the world cup will be erased in a moment
So dechamp France coach is great? Hope for positive result and don’t become coach
Deschamp is also a mediocre manager.zidane is coming you will see what is the true potential of that french national team.against spain against the strongest midfield of the world he was playing 2 defensive midfielders and one of them was tchoumani who was coming back from an injury.
❗️There is a doubt who will start between Enzo and De Paul tonight.

🚨🇦🇷
Doesn’t matter both are out of form
Molina is our weakest defender.he is shit.maximum goals we conceded due to his bad positioning or not covering the spaces.why molina still starting and why we are playing same midfield is beyond me.we are cooked guys time to pack our bags.this is the end of the road i assume if not messi or Alvarez save our ass.scaloni tactics are so bad this wc.enzo and mcallister midfield can’t do shit and paredes can’t do everything still no young blood even locelso could have helped but no scaloni is trying to get us knocked out.we were lucky we played some damn mediocre sides up until now and we couldn’t even dominate algeria or austria.england also has their problems but they will eat molina alive and i don’t think our midfield can contain Bellingham or kane with this lineup.so disappointing
It’s not just his shitty defending ability or poor positioning, but also slow reaction and giving the ball away easily in dangerous areas.
Yes he can’t defend simple as that.i don’t how can he tackle the pace of gordon
So, the same old team after all. What exactly are the “changes” everyone has been talking about? Molina and Nico’s inclusion aren’t a surprise. England would have prepared for them anyway.
At Atlético, Nico hasn’t been a regular starter. Against top-quality opposition, we’ve also seen his limitations—Lamine Yamal exposed them quite clearly. Nico brings energy and relentless running, but creativity in tight spaces, composure in the final third, and recovery pace are not really his strongest attributes.
His standout performance remains the Copa América final. Beyond that, most of his appearances have been defined more by lungs than by craft. Against an England side that thrives on pace and quick transitions, Argentina needed a genuine tactical surprise. I’m not convinced this is it.
You guys buy too much into what is said in those pre-match conferences. Scaloni has not intent forwhatsoever to change his starting 11. By making major changes, he meant one change and that is Nico to start instead of coming of the bench. In Scaloni’s definition, is considered a major change.
Dibu;Licha, Ota, Romero; Molina, Enzo, Maca, Paredes, Nico; Messi, Alvarez
That is line up. It’s our in some places
Scaloni should play straight forward football. England defence is shit.
