Gaston Edul confirmed that the Argentina vs Brazil match will be played on Tuesday 3/25 local time.

The lineup that I think will probably happen will be this

Alvarez------Lautaro-------Messi
--------MacA--------RDP
----------------Enzo
Lisandro---Ota------Romero----Molina
----------------Dibu

Can see Tagliafico over Lisandro though. Hopefully after the March WCQ, Otamendi can retire internationally.

Licha is out again for the forseeable future. Romero needs to get back to fitness same with Senesi. I guess Balerdi will be in with Otamendi. Long term the CB pool is very deep. I like Tobias Palacio. Otamendi like but can actually play football.

u20s qualified for the final hex group. 0-0 draw with Ecuador. Had chances to win inc a fine free kick from Mastantuono that hit the bar & post. The real business starts now. Placente has done a great job of rotating the squad. Out of it Soler, Palacio (now Ramirez), Acuna, Mastantuono & Echeverri have all the characteristics of future seleccion players. Delgado is near that & Woiski if he is allowed to play as a CF. Others like Carrizo & Hidalgo need to work on their team play.

Another win for the u20 v Uruguay 4-3. Should have been far more comfortable. The pibes have been well rotated by Placente. The game plan press, switches are similar to the seleccion. There is a slight weakness at RB where Obregon has been placed who is normally a CM for River Plate B.

Mastantuono has been a little under par for me having seen him play in the Primera. Echeverri on the other hand continues to cement his reputation. Two knocks to Ruberto & Soler hopefully nothing serious. The tournament is for the taking and with several players unavailable but should be for the u20 WC they should be aiming to win that as well.

Yeah Mastantuono has not been good, but he's 2 years younger than the rest of the folks. Echeverri will be the future for the national team. Looking forward to how he develops under Pep.

Placente has done a great job and he should really be considered to replace Scaloni, should the mister steps down as head coach.
