Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has named his starting eleven for the match against England at the World Cup and Lionel Messi starts.
Lionel Scaloni has made one change to the starting eleven which won 3-1 against Switzerland, Giuliano Simeone starts in place of Rodrigo De Paul. Here is the starting eleven:
Emiliano Martínez; Molina, Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Tagliafico; Simeone, Paredes, Mac Allister, Enzo; Messi and Julián Álvarez
Molina is shyt he wouldnt make starting 11 for andorra. How on earth Enzo worth 100M with that backpass and side pass
MOLINA AND SIMEONE
BOTH ARE FLOP
We need free up Messi some how. Yea Licha card made us back foot. One goal might decide the game
This is electrifying, looks more like a battle field than a football pitch, compared to the snoozefest of a semifinal yesterday.
Simeone is such a hustler he tries and tries, its an even game till now, with fouls flying here and there. Unpredictable.
Both teams playing pretty poor. After seeing so far, I wonder if Spain players are on drugs. How could they run so much to create space and to press to recover the ball? Most of our players are happy walking and passing the ball back. Is it Messi effect?
Told ya Simeone blood’s never deliver when you need them the most…..need Nico Paz or Nico Gonzalez fast
Bellingham is free But Messi is Caged
For us Dangerous is the yellow card of LICHA
Nico paz is ideal for this kind of match. Because Messi is marked heavily
Simeone is a flop .. De Paul is better player now..
You see why
Put Nico Paz in Simeone out
Time for messi to switch wings or deep play making
Anyine plz have straming links with englsh commnty plz share
Messi is playing fine. Molina and Simeone are disappointing.
They took Messi out of the game. We need quick passes and movement
Messi loosing it all the time
Messi giving the ball away so many times. So many English counterattacks (including Lisandro’s yellow card) starting with him.
Come one Leo. If you do not bring it this game, those idiotic criticisms like “Messi would not hack it in the EPL” will resurface.
Bench Messi and play Nico Paz. It’s that simple.
You need a slap in your face. is that simple
Hahaha
Molina, the headless chicken. It’s a great mystery how he has been playing for the World champions for so many years.
Simeone turns out to be a flop, Bellingham owned him for God’s sake.
I was so desperate today to see lo celso in place of de paul tk have attacking creativity simione coming straight to semi is puring pressure on him
G Simeone seems over-enthusiastic. Grabbing Eng players in both Dboxes, thus wasting corners and increasing the chance of conceding a penalty. Someone should talk to him to calm down.
Messi is out of form. Very worrisome. Quite a few attacks ended with his poor first touch, or not chasing the ball. I know he can change gears any moment. Hopefully that happens soon.
Yes
Oh again. That would have been a Messi goal on most days.
We can’t afford to have 6km/per game player against such physical opponent.
Same old same old. Static midfield. Nobody wants to run and create space. Dangerous backpassinng near Dbox can bring disaster.
Argentina is playing with 10 players. Messi is run out of gas.
Molina is pure garbage.
Booing during both anthems already. Should set the tone for the match…
Big big opportunity for Simeone to prove his mettle. He not only needs to press the English but should also provide defence support to our weakest position.
Scaloni had the balls to drop De Paul. I like the change in theory. Cholito should be able to do what De Paul’s better version has done in the past, at least in terms of relentless running, pressing, tracking back, helping Messi and Molina. Hoping the Atletico connection and chemistry between Simeone and Molina pays off too.
Vamos Argentina carajo!
…..or maybe its just mind games. Sr Simione played in 1998
LAS MALVINAS SON Y SERAN SIEMPRE ARGENTINAS !!!
VAMOS ARGENTINA !!!
In the name of EL DIEGO and ANTONIO RATTIN! VAMOS ARGENTINA🇦🇷✨🇦🇷
Hay everyone Messi starts
How surprising mundo wouldn’t Simone starting be the headline
Suggestion !!!!!
We just gotta play football we know. England have been lucky with their games and to get so far. They will call for every thing. Let’s hope we get some good clean goals.
Simione cane play attacking ans well as defensively..So good substitution.. Definitely win this match..Stay calm..
Vamos vamos vamos vamos vamos
Eng
Pickford, Stones, Rice, Elliot Anderson, Reece James, Guehi, Morgan Rogers, Spence, Gordon, Bellingham কানে
England started with little defensive mindset..they bench Saka & Madueke
Scaloni has made the change that most people on this forum wanted (or at least that’s what they suggested before the match). Let’s hope it will be effective. Vamos Argentina
Definitely a better replacement for de paul and who can provide the speed..Cannot change the team too much – considering many of them have just started scoring goals..The substitutions is going to be the difference – just like Almada against Swiss..
Midfield needs to control the game from start to finish…..
England has 4 super duper midfielders with morgan rogers also in….this mid will control the game…sorry to say England are way more superior….I hope we don’t face a humiliation like Brazil’s 2014
Bro this is england not spain,ok they have been hot favourite in every wc and then flop as well,in this wc they faced some easy birds ok,
Believe in team..Belive in our midfield . mesii will paying in also deep.stay calm.
C’mon man… why so negative.. we will see.. whatever happens need to go out there and fight
We will win Sabya
Also German brain behind this team, and his tactical plan has been extraordinary thus far. He’s making 3 changes for this game, I salute his bravery.
We don’t need this kind of pessimism right before the game, bros. Stay calm and enjoy.
Vamos.
This is a positive change. RDP has not only been slow but also sloppy, lost a lot of possession and offered nothing in defense or attack. With Simeone we will have pace , threat from wings and someone who can trackback and defend! Hopefully England won’t be able to string multiple passes together & enforce wave after wave of attack unlike our last three encounters! Additionally, we have to score first!! English defense is vulnerable than ours and have conceded equal number of goals like us.
Right on, brother. Since Saka has not been playing, England are more of a threat on the left side with Gordon. Like you pointed out, Simeone can help the team a lot offensively and help Molina with Gordon. I like the move.
Do us proud Simeone
I think Simeone will be super flop today…..Gonzalez would have done a better job…..Would have preferred Barco over Enzo
At this level, this is not the winning formula by playing the same players who struggled against 10 men Switzerland. We need fresh young legs more than anything else.
Cannot change whole team, Simone is already starting it’s now substitute management during match
No team in the WC changes all the players.
No one says let’s change the entire team. Barco is a must in this game, so is Nico Paz, but then again I don’t expect them to perform as expected because they should have been given play time in the early stages of the tournament. 100% manager fault.
Vamos vamos Argentinos
Good luck.
