It’s not often I’ll post something that isn’t through text but I was on the Low Limit Futbal podcast with my good friends Roberto ROJAS and Joe UCCELLO a few days ago where I discussed Argentina.
For those who would like to hear my thoughts on the current team, the players, Lionel SCALONI, this year’s Copa America as well as next year’s, Lionel MESSI and more, do give it a listen.

Lionel MESSI scored twice in FC Barcelona’s 2-2 draw against Eibar.
Argentina and FC Barcelona’s captain continues to score as he ends his league campaign with 36 goals. MESSI also lead La Liga with 13 assists and 92 most key passes. In short, MESSI leads everything.
MESSI has also reached 50 goals this season with the final of the Copa del Rey left.
Walter KANNEMANN suffered an injury and will miss the Copa America.
Gremio’s KANNEMANN suffered a fracture in the second vertebrae of his spine and will be out for six weeks. This would rule him out of being in Lionel SCALONI’s Argentina team.

Joaquin CORREA is the last player to be included in the Argentina preliminary list for the Copa America.
