Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

Nobody could ever manage Mbappe's ego. No matter which team he's in the next season, his term and condition would be the same... "everyone recovers the ball for me and send me clear with a throughball immediately".

Its been 4 years since he won the WC and he's still exactly the same player from 2018, He's now already a year older than Messi when Messi won his first treble and first Balon.

 

Now it's confirmed that Russia is suspended for the UEFA nations league so Israel, Iceland and Albania should be available. Would be great if we only faced Iceland and Albania but seems like we will more likely face Isreal.

Would have liked tougher European oppositions, but better than facing Conmebol teams or Mexico for the million times.

 

Palacios in bench again for Leverkusen.


Think Scaloni should be dropping him already, 3 seasons in that kind of club and still a substitute is just not NT material (same goes for Nico Dominguez for example). Has not lived up to the hype, which I never bought anyway. Enzo Fernandez just looks like he has a higher ceiling.

 

Nico Dominguez was a starter for Bologna this starter until he got the shoulder injury back in Feb. I'm just guessing they are just very slowly getting him back to his rhythm with the season practically over for them.

On Palacios, I agree with you. He needs to get out of Leverkusen this summer or his place in the WC squad will be jeopardy in by Enzo or McAllister imo.

 

I wouldn’t count those two out just get. Remember, RDP did not find his groove until a few seasons back at Udinese. He was at Valencia then went to Udinese and even then it took him a little time. Now, he is all but irreplaceable for us. Maybe they don’t go to the World Cup. But I think they still have a chance after the tournament.


But I saw this question on Twitter a few weeks back. Will the River supporters give their answer?

I think Palacios is only better at defending. Passing and overall offensive contribution Enzo is better. He's very similar to Enzo Perez when he was at Benfica, and that was his best version.

 

Would be fantastic news if we can unify the stupid Australia friendly with the qualifier game.

 

Yeah, based on everything I’ve read, I can’t imagine the Australia game taking place unless AFA lets itself be bullied into it. The proposed 6/15 date for South Korea makes it seem like we are indeed considering playing Brazil on 6/11. Hopefully not in Australia though…

 

For me, its easy: give me the active-dog that can come of the bench and give you a heat check. Neither Enzo Fernandez nor Exequeil Palacios are going to be starters - if they get minutes, it would be coming in the second half to make an impact. I don't trust Palacios because he has been riding the bench, whereas Enzo is ballin every day.

Palacios is talented and if he gets to a team that allows him playing time, his career could change. But, right now Enzo is ballin' so for me its about the "hot hand"

 

We can always send a second team to Australia. We can give players a look that are being considered.

 

Hope Scaloni and the Rulli blunder. No consideration for Rulli ever again.

Emi, Musso and Benitez and we have several younger talents developing below that.

Villareal were dominating now they have to score two more. Looks like yet another boring predictable CL final which I will certainly not watch.

 

Aaaaand Rulli having the worst night of his career in the most important game.

Don't want to see this clown in our world cup squad. At least Armani doesn't make so many blunders.

 

I would also put Ledesma as he's been solid from what I've seen at Cadiz.

 

I guess we have to hope that Dibu does not get hurt in Qatar.

Rulli is showing that he can’t do it in big matches.

Armani… Well Armani is…


I don’t think Benitez will make it even though he’s had a stellar year in Ligue 1.


I just hope this does mean Scaloni will take 4 goalies since he’ll have doubts at the #2.

 

Ledesma is poor too. He only shines against Barca/Madrid for some reason.

 

Terrible goalkeeping from Rulli across both legs of this semi-final. Don't want him near the squad.

Lo Celso also did not play well.

Liverpool are a tough squad!

 

Taking 4 GKs is stupid.

We just need Dibu and Musso. That's it. No one else matters.

 

Musso isn’t exactly playing all that great either. That Atalanta side really miss Cuti.

 

Completely disagree, Lo Celso was the best from Villarreal together with Moreno. The performance dropped in 2nd half just like all the team.

 

Yeah I know he's not playing great but he isn't making blunders like these clowns + a defense with Palomino, Demiral, Djimsiti is trash anyway so there's not much more he can do.

 

Not sure why Benitez never gets a nod, PSG hasnt score againts him this season in multiple games. Nice result against PSG has been 1-0, 0-0, 0-0 . He's been stopping Mbappe and Messi close chances convincingly.

 

Although it was disappointing seeing Villa lose like that, I agree with others above that hopefully this opens the door for Benitez to get a chance.

 

Also has the most clean sheets in Ligue 1 this season.

I hope Nice gets either 2nd or 3rd (only 5 points and 2 points behind respectively) to get the team in the CL.

Also has a French cup final to hopefully earn him some brownie points.
