Hey guys!

Today the Argentina Sub-20 national team plays against Brazil in a must win match if they are to make to the World Cup in S. Korea this summer.  They currently sit in 5th place in the table.  They’re last game was a poor display where they lost 3-0 to the host of the  tournament: Ecuador.

Coach Claudio Ubeda is obliged to make a change for today’s match as defender Lisandro Martinez is suspended.  Milton Valenzuela who started against Uruguay and Colombia will replace Martinez.  Also, Nahuel Molinda may also make a return to the starting lineup for Nicolas Salazar who did not play his best match vs Ecuador.  Lastly, midfielder Julian Chicco may also lose his spot to Tomas Belmonte who has served his two game suspension.

What do you guys think? Will we beat Brazil? Do we have any chance? Or have you lost all hope with this team?  Last game was very a poor display.  There’s no excuses. Not even the altitude.

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!

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
