Wonder if Argentina will start Emi Martinez in Copa America. Can’t see how they can’t after season he’s having for Villa. Whenever I’ve watched Romero or Armani for them they don’t seem very convincing at all.
Doubt Scaloni will start E. Martinez when he should imo.
Watch Martinez not even get picked. Or benched behind Armani or Gucci or whatever 35 year old GK from Argentinean league.
Argentina have a very good team if they start the right players.
Martinez in goal, Lisandro Martinez at CB, Paredes and Rodrigo de Paul in the midfield....
But they'll prob start Romero, Otamendi and some Argentine league scrub instead.
Some variation of:
E. Martinez
RB - Otamendi - L. Martinez - Tagliafico
R. de Paul - Paredes - Lo Celso
Messi - Lautaro - Ocampos/di Maria
I guess
Lo Celso should be important. Acuna has done well for Sevilla too. Exe Palacios who was supposed to sign for Madrid has had a rocky season with a long term injury, but seems to be a regular for Leverkusen now.
Not a lot of world class players in the squad, basically none. Could maybe be a good thing team wise. But seems like the coaches always have some bum favourites from the home league like Pavon and Armani.
Maybe they're going for a 3-5-2 with Tagliafico LCB and Acuna LWB. Messi and Lautaro up front.
Imagine it goes to penalties and Messi, Ocampos and Aguero are the takers

The problem with Di Maria is that he's 10x better on the RW than he is on the LW.
And for Argentina he plays almost exclusively on the LW where he spams overhit crosses Dani Alves 2013 style all day long.
Argentinia's squad is really strong this season.
