Possible line-up for Argentina against Brazil

Hey guys!

There’s rumours floating around in regards to the possible lineup to be played against Brazil next week. They are saying Edgardo BAUZA will play a 4-4-2 formation. In goal it will be Sergio ROMERO. The defenders would be ZABALETA, OTAMENDI, FUNES MORI, MAS. In the midfield, DI MARIA, MASCHERANO, BIGLIA/PIZARRO, and ENZO PEREZ. The two attackers would be MESSI and HIGUAIN.

I personally would like to see PIZARRO instead of BIGLIA as it would be a fresh face and maybe a different dynamic. I also am happy to see MAS there instead of ROJO. I would have liked to have seen other players called up but it is what it is.  Hopefully ACUNA can get some minutes as well. What do you guys think? Do we stand a chance with this lineup? Could we beat Brazil with this lineup? I think we can if we play a smart match. Our players and coach know that they have to win as their is pressure of possibly missing the World Cup.

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!

The Argentina National Team Database

For the past few weeks, you may have seen the news (on my end) be a little slow. I would like to give a big thank you to Juli who has been a massive helping hand in getting news out for us.

A large part of the reason why news has been slow is because I have been working on the Argentina database. You’ll notice in the navigational menu that there’s a new section called “Argentina Database”. In there, I am compiling a full list of all the matches Argentina has played.

If you’ll take a look, you’ll see that so far, I have a full list of all the matches from the last match (against Paraguay) to the match against Sweden in 2013. Furthermore, if you click on one of the matches, you will see Argentina’s line-up for that match as well as who got booked and who scored. Another little feature is in that section, if you were to click on a name of an opponent (say Ecuador), it would take you to the Ecuador page where you would be able to see Argentina’s record against that team (wins, draws, losses).

The idea behind it all is to create a massive database dating back to the mid 90’s (if not even 80’s) where the section would become, well, an actual database. There’s also some work being done in the players section.

I know it’s not actual news being posted but it is something we have been planning for quiet some time which is the reason behind the slower news the past few weeks. However, with the World Cup Qualifiers coming up next week, we will now go back to delivering the daily content.

But please do head over to the “Argentina Database” section and let us know what you think!

Thank you,

Roy

The second casualty is already hit for Argentina.

Following the injury to Nicolas GAITAN, Geronimo RULLI is another name who will be causing Edgardo BAUZA headaches. In training on Tuesday, Geronimo RULLI collided with a team mate and was unable to continue the session.

He collided with JUANMI and had to leave training ahead of Real Sociedad’s match against Atletico on the weekend. The knock he picked up was on his knee. The initial report out of Spain is that it is nothing serious.
