Argentina’s last match heading into the Rio Olympics ended in a 0-0 draw.

Julio OLARTICOECHEA’s team played a 0-0 draw just as they did in their first match together against Colombia. Mexico scored a goal which in all honesty should have stood. A cross was sent into the area and goalkeeper Geronimo RULLI completely missed his punch as the ball hit a Mexican player and went in.

In the 90th minute, GIANNETTI received a second yellow card (which could easily have been a straight red) as he was sent off.

Diego SIMEONE at a press conference in Australia.

Speaking at a press conference, Diego SIMEONE commented on the possibility of someone coaching the Argentina National Team on a part-time basis and also spoke about his future. Here’s what he had to say:

About coaching at a club and National Team part time:
“No one has done it, possibly in the future it can be something that can actually happen because many coaches would like that but can’t do it due to contractual obligations to their clubs. With time, it may be a possibility.”

About his future:
“I’m young and my future could take me to different leagues. We have challenges and the English league and Italian league seduce me.”

About the Champions League loss:
“The loss in the Champions League final felt like a death and every death needs a time of mourning.”
