You are right, he has not asked for Di Maria to be dropped. However, he has called Pavon his new partner. It is up to Sampaoli. My understanding is that we are waiting for Griezman to sign with Barça. If it does not happen, Plan B for Barça is Cristian Pavon from Boca. His selling price is...

I do not agree. I'm tired with Di Maria. He is exceptional until the last pass that goes nowhere. In addition, Messi has called Pavon his new partner and has told the people in Barcelona to go and get him to play for Barca.

Do not feel sorry for Messi and the Argentine team. They are really pampered and their training facilities in Ezeiza, outside Buenos Aires, are excellent. The following Youtube video shows the facilities (the camera is shaking so much that it is very annoying.) What the video does not show are...

I agree. And..Pavon over Di Maria and... Dybala over Meza. Hektor

Iceland is going to park the bus. Their formation is going to be 9-1-0 ;) They would be suicidal if they want to play Argentina one-on-one. For Iceland a 0-0 score is a major accomplishment. I have no idea how Argentina will do with the rumored formation. It does not mean that Argentina will...

Golden ball (Best player): Messi Golden boot (Top scorer): Messi Golden glove (Best goalkeeper): De Gea Best young player (Under 21 at the beginning of the calendar year): Dembélé Flop of the tournament: CR7

As the adage says: "The more things change, the more they remain the same." According to Ole, Clarin, and La Nacion from Argentina the following is going to be the staring 11 against Iceland: Wilfredo Caballero; Eduardo Salvio, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Rojo, Nicolás Tagliafico; Maximiliano Meza...

Where s Mauro Icardi? He is with his wife, Wanda Nara, enjoying a day at the beach in the Indian Ocean's Seychelles Islands. https://assets.diarioregistrado.com/media-photo_5b1c49ab03e8eb343c9ff682_640w.jpeg My goodness! She could be Miss Boom Boom rival Hektor

I heard these rumors about two days ago. I would not put too much credence to it. I only saw the report on an internet news source I never heard of before. Another breaking story in the same news outlet was that they "link the President of Argentina and the Mayor of Buenos Aires to an...

What is him? A forward? If he is a forward, why did Sampaoli bring Dybala to sub for Messi, if Leo gets hurt? All commentators, reporters, and TV football experts agree with the reason of Dybala being on the team. I'm not the only one saying it. Therefore, what is the reason of having Dybala on...

Dybala is a midfielder by trade. I have no idea what Allegri tried to do with him. Argentina will not play a 4-4-2 formation where the middle 4 is more like a 1-2-1. Dybala best position is the forward 1 or creative midfielder Argentina will play more like a 4-3-3 with a double "5" or double...

Dybala is a midfielder. He can play any midfielder position except as a "5." The main reason he is part of the 23 is to replace Messi if Leo gets hurt. In Juventus, Dybala is the "10" or creative midfielder. Actually, I believe he wears No "10." Enzo Perez will replace Lanzini on the team...

Everyone is making too much out of Lanzini. Probably because he plays in the Premier League, which I do not follow. Hell, I only watch all the Barça games, only. Messi and Lanzini did not click that well, either. They only had one game together, Haiti. Messi and Pavon formed a partnership...

:lol: Argentina is not even in the top 5 to win the WC. Many are predicting that Argentina will not even make it out of the group stage, because Argentina is all about Messi. I love it! :cool: Let Germany, Brazil, Spain, or France be the favorites. They have to win it otherwise it is a big...

We are talking about Lanzini injury and you come out with the above post. My question was a sensible one: "What has AFA to do with Lanzini's injury. Now you say that you were not talking about Lanzini. OK. Why did you bring out AFA out of the blue without giving any reason why. I'm not a mind...

Hi: The Latest. Sampaoli will wait until after the last training session in Barcelona, tomorrow, to decide who will replace Lanzini. He will form two squads to play against each other to determine the players that are 100%. From that practice, he will see if he needs "5" or not. If it is a...

No. He is not 100%, but still in the 23. This is not that bad. Teams, when facing adversity and have a common goal, they get that much closer and more determined to overcome the adversities they face. These injuries could be a blessing in disguise for Argentina. Dybala should replace Lanzini...

I agree. We need Mauro Icardi. I hate to lose another final because Higuain missed three sitters. If no Icardi, for whatever reason, bring Lautaro Martinez, for heavens sake! Hektor

Ever Banega did not figure in the starting 11. More so, there was something wrong with him. We have young players that can replace him. Centurion would be one, butt he underwent emergency appendectomy. :( Therefore he is out. We have Kranevitter, Enzo Perez (he is not young, though,) Pablo...

Who should replace Lanzini in the starting 11? Imho, it is very easy - Paolo Dybala!!! Hektor
