Roberto PEREYRA of Watford, DE PAUL of Udinese to make Argentina team

Roberto PEREYRA of Watford and Rodrigo DE PAUL of Udinese are both expected to be included in the latest Argentina team.

Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI has put off announcing his list of players for next month’s friendly matches due to injury problems. With the team to be announced on Friday, Cesar Luis MERLO of TyC Sports is reporting that Roberto PEREYRA and Rodrigo DE PAUL will both be late inclusions into the squad.

Both players are in fine form for their clubs and would add a lot to the team. PEREYRA was part of the 2015 Copa America squad while this would be Rodrigo DE PAUL’s first call-up for his country.

Gerardo MARTINO to Argentina or MEXICO, Jorge SAMPAOLI to Atlanta United

Gerardo “Tata” MARTINO is rumored to be leaving his current job at Atlanta United to either coach the Argentina National Team or the Mexican National Team with Jorge SAMPAOLI coaching Atlanta United.

According to a report from TyC Sports, MARTINO will step down as coach of MLS club Atlanta United. As we reported a few days ago, Tata has been linked not only to the Argentina job but the Mexico one as well. AFA president Claudio TAPIA has spoken in the past about wanting to bring Tata back as coach of the Argentina National Team but with the Mexico FA getting involved, it could make it more difficult.

Should he step down as Atlanta United coach, former Argentina National Team manager Jorge SAMPAOLI is rumored to be taking over that position in the MLS.

Paulo DYBALA scores for Juventus, Javier PASTORE back heel for Roma, more

Paulo DYBALA, Javier PASTORE, Ramiro FUNES MORI and Ramiro FUNES MORI all scored for their clubs.

It hasn’t been the best start to the season for Paulo DYBALA. The jewel has been relegated to the bench more than once and he still had not scored a goal. However, DYBALA got a rare start and the former Palermo man scored his first goal of the season for Juventus, in their 2-0 win against Bologna.

The Argentine was included in the last Argentina squad and is expected to be called-up for the next one as well.

Still in Italy, Javier PASTORE managed a goal of his own in Roma’s 4-0 win against Frosinone. PASTORE’s was a back heel finish (not the first one he has scored this season) as he scored his second of the season.

In Spain and playing out of position, Ramiro FUNES MORI scored his first of the season for his new club as Villarreal won 3-0 against Athletic Bilbao.

FUNES MORI was playing as a defensive midfielder instead of a center back.
