Angel DI MARIA on Copa America: “We are candidates because we are Argentina”

Angel DI MARIA spoke to Fox Sports in Argentina about the Argentina national team, the Copa America and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

One of the veterans on the Argentina national team, DI MARIA is back for another major tournament. Speaking with Fox Sports, here’s what he had to say:

“There are several things which can’t be repeated, what’s important is what is happening now. The good atmosphere, the group, that everything is good and that there aren’t any problems is the best thing. We are candidates because we are Argentina and we have the best player in the world.”

In regards to his future with the Argentina national team:

“I will never say no to the Argentina national team. I’ve had injuries in key moments but I continue trying. I feel happiest when I’m with the Argentina national team, I will fight to win something with the Argentina national team. Hopefully we will have a good Copa America.”

About the 2018 FIFA World Cup:

“In Russia, from the first day, everything went wrong. Things didn’t go as planned and we just made the World Cup, thanks to Leo. Everything kept going bad, what happened against Nigeria and against France we knew that things weren’t right.”

Argentina lose to Mali on penalty kicks at FIFA U20 World Cup

It’s the end of the road for the Argentina team at the U20 FIFA World Cup after losing on penalty kicks.

In a match where they took the lead twice, Fernando BATISTA’s team lost their concentration and ultimately got eliminated from the World Cup. Argentina took a 1-0 lead through their main target man Adolfo GAICH who took advantage of a loose ball in the penalty area.

Argentina would go on to let in a goal following a Mali corner kick. GAICH would nearly restore his team’s lead but his header went to the wrong side of the post. Goalkeeper ROFFO was forced into a great save to keep it level.

The match would require extra time. Ezequiel BARCO would restore Argentina’s lead but Mali would go on to equalize through a quick free kick which was played short.

Penalty kicks were needed and everyone score their penalty except for Tomas CHANCALAY who would miss his as Mali would go on to win.
