Poll: Who should start up front for Argentina?

It’s time for a poll as we ask who should start up front in attack for Argentina against Peru?

With the remaining World Cup Qualifiers soon approaching, all of Argentina’s forwards are in fantastic form. Mauro ICARDI can’t stop scoring for Inter, Sergio AGUERO is on fire and Paulo DYBALA is scoring hat tricks for fun. And Lionel MESSI, well, he’s Lionel MESSI.

Against Uruguay and Venezuela, Jorge SAMPAOLI went with the trio of Lionel MESSI, Mauro ICARDI and Paulo DYBALA in attack and while the team didn’t lose, the trio didn’t score a single goal (Mauro ICARDI’s apparent goal was awarded as an own goal against Venezuela). With that said, who should Jorge SAMPAOLI go with in attack? Do you start a more experience Sergio AGUERO with Lionel and ICARDI? Do you stick with the same front three as the previous two matches? With the match against Peru being played at La Bombonbera, would you call-up Boca man Dario BENEDETTO and start him?

Mauro ICARDI grabs draw for Inter against Bologna

Mauro ICARDI continues his excellent form with yet another goal for Inter.

The Inter captain scored for his club in their 1-1 draw against Bologna. With Inter trailing 1-0 away to Bologna, the Nerazzurri were awarded a penalty kick. The responsibly was given to the newly shaven captain, ICARDI who made no mistaken at all (just like his Argentina team mate Lionel MESSI). A powerfully struck shot beat the goalkeeper to draw his team level.

The Argentina number 9 has now scored 6 goals in the opening 5 Match Day’s of the Serie A in each of the last two seasons. Incredible numbers.

Lionel MESSI nets four in FC Barcelona win

Lionel MESSI nets four goals for FC Barcelona in their 6-1 win against Eibar.

If it was Pablo PIATTI and Sebastian DRIUSSI on Monday, then it’s Lionel MESSI on Tuesday. Not for the first time in his career Lionel MESSI has scored four times in a single mnatch. After all, the first time he did it was in a Champions League knock out stage match in 2010 against English club Arsenal. This time though, it was against Spanish opposition, Eibar. The first was off a penalty kick with the other two coming from open play.

MESSI has now scored 11 goals in the season in only five La Liga matches, his best ever start in his La Liga career.

Argentina National Team coach Jorge SAMPAOLI was in attendance to watch both Lionel MESSI and Javier MASCHERANO (who started the match for the Catalan club). SAMPAOLI met with the two Argentina captain’s on Monday to discuss the upcoming World Cup Qualifying matches.

Pablo PIATTI and Sebastian DRIUSSI score for clubs

Pablo PIATTI and Sebastian DRIUSSI both scored for their clubs on Monday.

To add to the goals scored by Argentinians over the weekend, it was Espanyol’s energizer bunny PIATTI wracked up his first goal of the season in Espanyol’s 2-1 win to Celta Vigo. The U20 World Cup winner with Argentina scored the second goal for his club, a cool left footed shot passed the goalkeeper.

PIATTI wasn’t the only Argentinian to score on Monday as Sebastian DRIUSSI of Zenit Saint Petersburg scored for his club in their 3-0 win against FC Ufa. It was a goal made in Argentina with former Atletico Madrid and Sevilla midfielder Matias KRANEVITTER providing the assist on the goal.
