The Argentina national team will train on Thursday evening for the first time before the World Cup final.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni will hold the first training before the World Cup final on Sunday. It will be in just over an hour with the first 15 minutes open to the media.

It’s the first training before the final as the team rested on Wednesday and spent time with their families.

The Argentina national team will wear the home kit for the World Cup final.

It will be the sky blue and white shirt with white shorts and white socks in the World Cup final. They also wore that against the Netherlands in the quarter finals and against Croatia in the semi finals on Tuesday.

Footage of Argentina players have emerged from before and after the semi final match at the World Cup.

Cameras were focused on the Argentina national team players and specifically Lionel Messi against Croatia in the semi finals and they are online. The camera is on them as they are in the tunnel and on Lionel Messi during the national team.

Lionel Messi is also shown as the match ends and the celebrations as the players celebrate and he is shown hugging the Argentina national team coaching staff.

Emiliano Martínez had a half time speech during the semi final of the World Cup.

Martínez gave a speech in the tunnel as the players were about to go out for the second half of the match. With Argentina leading 2-0, Martínez said the following:

“The goal is at zero, guys. They are going to have to kill me to score a goal. We don’t give anything away, we don’t give anything.”

Argentina would go on to score one more goal, an assist of the tournament by Lionel Messi with Julián Álvarez scoring.
