Tata MARTINO spoke about the forwards which could get called up later this month for Argentina, Lionel MESSI and FUNES MORI. Here’s what he had to say:

“I could call up HIGUAIN and Marco RUBEN. But AGUERO’s also great. It’s impossible to call that many number 9’s. Unfortunately, we have a lot of very good number 9’s.”

“MESSI received the award (Ballon d’Or) for the 5th time and he prefers to win someting with the National Team. He’s obsessed.”

“FUNES MORI’s done well and continues to do well. He’s earned his place in the National Team.”

Lionel MESSI: “Losing with National Team hurts”

Speaking to El Grafico, Lionel MESSI spoke about a number of topics.

On the subjects of Argentina and his playing career, MESSI spoke about retirement, Gabriel BATISTUTA’s goalscoring record for the National Team and not winning the World Cup and Copa America.

On finishing his career in Argentina:
“I’ve always said: It’s something I think about and I’d like to do it. I don’t know when but it’s a possibility.”

Until when he would keep playing:
“I don’t set any goals, be it for the near future or distant future but I’d like to go for as long as my body allows me to. When I know it’s the end, I’ll make the decision.”

About getting closer to BATISTUTA’s Argentina goal record:
“I’d prefer to win something with the National Team even if it’s off an own goal. Records are there but they don’t interest me because those don’t win you titles.”

If losing the Copa America hurt more than the World Cup:
“Everything that was lost with the National Team hurts me because I know we should have won. At the World Cup and the Copa America, we deserved to win.”

Willy CABALLERO proved to be the hero for Manchester City as they defeated Liverpool in the final of the Capital One Cup.

With the match tied at 1-1 and extra time not changing anything, the match went to penalty kicks. CABALLERO saved three consecutive Liverpool spot kicks to give his team the win and their first title of the season. Sergio AGUERO took Manchester City’s third penalty kick and converted.

In previous years on Mundo, we used to do the Goal of the Week poll where everyone would get the chance to vote for what they think is the Goal of the Week. Would that be a feature you would like to see return on Mundo?

Let us know by voting in the poll!

As stated several days ago, we are working on getting some things up and running on Mundo.

A returning feature is that of the Quick News section. What you would find in Quick News is just that, fast news. We have a widget on the right side of the page above the “Kudos” section which will display the latest news published in that section. But we also have the “Quick News” page which you can visit by clicking here.

This is a section which we are restarting to use, so do keep an eye out on it!

Another section which I am actually working on as we speak is that of the “Players” section. For those unfamiliar with the “Players” page, you will be able to find information regarding past and present National Team players. Information regarding their U17, U20, Olympics and Senior careers, be it number of matches played or goals scored.

That is also another section which I have been working on the past few days to revamp as there have been many new players which have bursted onto the scene recently.
As stated in the past, we’re working hard on continuing to improve Mundo and we hope you make this your only go-to place regarding the National Team!
