The latest rumors. Pavon is in and Higuain is out. In other words, Messi as the false 9 with Di Maria and Pavon in the Wings. Otherwise, the same team against Nigeria except for Higuain. Hektor

The Iranian Referee, Alireza Faghani, is going to officiate Argentina-France game. He is the referee of the Mexico-Germany and Brazil-Serbia games. In 2005, he officiated the team world cup, when Barça defeated River Plate 3-0. In other news, it seems that Argentina will try to start the same...

It was not a harmless joke nor it was a tasteless joke. A winning team always has some positive things to say about the loosing team specially one that takes you to overtime and loses for the minimum difference. Not to mention the Argentine team at all and to disparage the whole Argentine...

This is something that I will never forget. In the Germany's celebration in front of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate , after winning the Brazil-2014 WC by beating Argentina 1-0 in overtime, many of the German players mocked all the Argentines in Argentina. They were walking with chests out and heads...

Excellent analysis. I could not have done better myself. Hektor

Sampaoli does not a better player than Masche, in this team. He is a generational "5." In Argentina, there is no another Mashcherano. The player that might replace Masche in Qatar-2022 might be Matias Kranevitter, but he is no Masherano. I do not know. There might be another player but I'm...

Are you taking about Argentina-Germany? If so, Germany beat Argentina in the Brazil-2014 final game 1-0 in overtime. In other words, Germany did not eliminate Argentina in 2014. Hektor

Look at my flag in the country field. Argentina is tattoo in my heart. I'm Argentine-Catalan. You can call me Mr. Carpenter. That is what my surname means in Catalan. Hektor

I know what happened to Germany. Their forwards took classes on how to score, in a WC game, from the "Pipita Higuain" University. :) Hektor

Wow! We almost had the finalists of Brazil-2014 out in the group stage! In a perverse way, Germany going out could be good for Argentina. The players can say, "We did not play that bad. Look what happened to Germany. They are out and we are in." France is not going to be easy! Dybala has to...

Firstly, Mascherano is the heart and soul of he team. Lastly, that was no penalty - it was a ridiculous call. Masche barely touched the player and he took a dive. In addition, Mascheano and the Nigeria player were not involved in the play. The Ref called for a penalty and the people with the...

Excellent article. Thank you for sharing it with us. I saw it in Spanish, but did not read it.

The following is the probable formation of Argentina with the players' age in parenthesis: Franco Armani (31); Mercado (31), Otamendi (30), Rojo (28), Tagliafico (25); E. Pérez (32), Mascherano (34), Banega (30), Di María (30); Messi (31) and Higuaín (30). The average age is 30.18. Only...

The following is the probable formation of Croatia against Iceland: Kalinic; Jedvaj, Lovren, Corluka, Pivaric; Bradaric, Badelj; Perisic, Kovacic, Pjaca; Kramaric. In all honesty, I only know the midfielder from Real Madrid, Kovacic, who wants to leave Real because he does not have enough...

I like it except I would start Dybala for Di Maria Hektor

Ever Banega is starting, because Messi asked for him to Sampaoli. He wanted the Argentine midfielder because he did not get the ball against Croatia. The following are my thoughts. Everyone is concentrating in Argentina's victory over Nigeria. It all depends what happens between Croatia and...

I'm always sharing with you all the latest news I get. Therefore, here are the latest: Enzo Perez is not 100% fit physically. Sampaoli does not know at this time if he will start against Nigeria. He will until the last minute to make a decision. Le us pray that he will not start. :worthy: If...

The latest is that Rojo is in and Salvio is out. The last practice before departing for St. Petersburg, for the Nigeria game, the formation is as follows: Armani; Mercado, Otamendi, Rojo, Tagliafico; Enzo Pérez, Mascherano, Banega, Di María; Messi and Higuaín. No Dybala, Lo Celso, or Pavon...

He ia very good player for Independent in the Argentine League with Tagliafico. Now, Indpendiente is my team since I can remember. We produced a lot of quality players like Aguero. However, he is no Dybala, not even close. He would be the best alternative if we did not have Dybala. IMHO, we do...
