When Leo Met Patrick from the Patriots!

Congratulations to the New England Patriots, campeone Super Bowl LI!

 

Just thought of writing something that is related to this even, for the fun of it!

Here’s an interesting throwback that happened almost 8 months ago when Argentina were taking on Venezuela during the Copa América Centenario quarter-final at the Gillette Stadium, home of the Patriots.

Among those who attended to watch the game in which Argentina won 4-1 was Pats safefy, Patrick CHUNG!

Right after the game, CHUNG took the opportunity to meet Lionel MESSI and gave him signed helmet and a Pat’s jersey with Leo’s name on it. MESSI returned the gesture with a signed Argentina’s kit for CHUNG!

Sorry about the photo, as these were the only ones available.

Sub-20: Argentina vs Ecuador

Hey everyone,

“Los pibes” play in a couple of hours against host Ecuador in their 3rd match of this hexagonal phase.  After a very agonizing match against Colombia in their last match the boys will try to for a second straight win.   A win for them would get them closer to this summer’s World Cup but it doesn’t guarantee them a spot.  Coach Ubeda is going to start with the same players that started against Colombia. Coach Claudio Ubeda also recently stated, “Ecuador has the ability to recover the ball, but we are we’re willing to give a fight to any team that we face.”

Probable Formation: 

Argentina:

Goalkeeper: Facundo Cambeses

Defense: Nicolás Zalazar, Cristian Romero, Juan Foyth, Milton Valenzuela

Midfielders: Santiago Ascacíbar, Brian Mansilla, Julián Chicco, Tomás Conechny

Forwards: Marcelo Torres & Lautaro Martínez

Today, 8:30 PM
TV: TyC
Stadium: Olímpico Atahualpa
VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!

Lionel MESSI, PIATTI, RUIZ and FUNES MORI all score

Goals in Spain, Portugal and Mexico as Lionel MESSI, Pablo PIATTI, Alan RUIZ and Rogelio FUNES MORI all find the back of the net.

Lionel MESSI continues his impressive run of free kick goals this year as the magical number 10 scored yet another one in Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Athletic Bilbao. MESSI has now scored four free kick goals in 2017, three of which have come against the Basque team. MESSI’s free kick goal is his 27th for Barcelona which makes him the player with the most free kick goals for the club.

Still in Spain, former Valencia man Pablo PIATTI scored for RCD Espanyol in their 1-0 win against Malaga. A long range strike from PIATTI was enough for Espanyol to pick up the win.

In Portugal, former Gimnasia and San Lorenzo player Alan RUIZ (also former Argentina U20) scored a fantastic goal for Sporting in their 2-1 loss to FC Porto. RUIZ controlled the ball with his chest and hit the volley past Iker CASILLAS for the goal.

In Mexico, it was one former River Plate player scoring against another. Rogelio FUNES MORI scored a nice little chip goal for Monterrey against BAROVERO’s Necaxa.

Argentina to face the Lions?

If things goes according to plan, Albiceleste supporters from South East Asia could have a great chance to watch Lionel MESSI and company for a friendly match in Singapore!

As reported in the country’s Strait Times, sport marketing agency Lagardere Sports is in talks to bring Argentina to play in the Lion City. The proposed dates is expected to take place between 5th to 13th of June which happens to coincide with FIFA’s international break.

Though nothing official as we speak, this could a historic visit; if memory doesn’t fail me, Argentina’s Senior Team first trip to this part of Asia.
