First game is tonight at 5 PM Eastern U.S. Argentina rumored line-up #Rio2016 : Rulli; Soto, Cuesta, Gianetti, Magallan; Espinoza, Ascacibar, Martinez, Gomez; Correa; Calleri.— Roy Nemer (@RoyNemer) August 4, 2016
I really like the likes of Gomez and Ruso Ascacibar. Cuesta should bring experience in the back. Rulli is the one I will want to watch the most.
Yeah, how dare they root for their colonial oppressors! Finally a threat on their goal. Portugal have had us on our heels so far for the most part.
Olympic soccer is weird. No adidas stripes on the kits, some players don't have names on theirs. The good thing is we don't have to see AFA on the front I guess.
Another chance wasted. Midfield is non existent. Magallan tucking in too much, Espinoza has forgotten to defend.
Getting closer but we're going to have to finish something because I don't expect Portugal to be kept off the board like this.
Omg Calleri hit the crossbar... damn! Wasn't the easiest finish. Nice pass to pick him out from distance though.
Ughhh.. stupid turnover and then everyone backs off and gives their number 9 a clean shot from the top of the box. Terrible.
Wow brutal. And the under-20s again concede at the same time - Spain are 3-1 up in the @Cotif final and it's *another* final defeat— GOLAZO (@golazoargentino) August 4, 2016
Argentina lose their first match at the Olympics since the 1996 gold medal game. 6 matches won in 2004 and 6 in 2008.
