Paris 2024: XXXIII Summer Olympiad Discussion

He's not good enough to make this team. Hasn't done jackshit in MLS, imagine.

 

I've always thought of him as a comparable player to Thiago Almada but 2 years younger. They had similar stats in the 2022 MLS (6 goals and 7 assists in 26-29 games) but it seems Almada has been getting better while Velasco hasn't. He's still very young at 21 years old.

 

U23 paraguay vs argentina


Xenon with killer goal

 

When watching Argentina team, some things I hate the most includes conceiding goals, losing games, player getting injured, useless players keeps getting a call up and... Tapia's face on the screen.

 

Scratch Varela from the team, Porto changed their mind...

I'll be honest with you guys, other than the ones that play in Argentina NO ONE is confirmed. These european clubs can always change their opinion last minute.

 

Huge loss.

 

I hope Varela forces his way out and move to a bigger club this summer.

 

Apparently AVB is the new man in charge and he doesn’t want to release him. Previous management was fine with it. I think they plan on selling him and they’ll try to bring in Equi. It is kinda stupid they are playing games with him.

 

Gaston Edul is saying Dibu won't go to the olympics, didn't get permission from Villa. Rulli could go in his place.

 

So, Colo won't be going to the Olympics either.

 

Is Soule going?
Do we have a list of who is not going?

 

No Barco, no Castro.

Basically everyone that isn't playing in Argentina or MLS is not going, guys. Julian and Otamendi being the only exceptions (maybe...).

 

That's fine, we'll use the talent that's in Argentina and show Europe what's up.

 

If only Mascherano wasn't the coach...

 

With the possible squad we had a chance even under Masche. With the probable squad we might as well kiss this one goodbye. It's a real disgrace clubs are not allowing players to participate. It only affects most clubs for one league game. Hardly an earth shattering absence. Shameful really.

Giuliano Simeone will also be at the tournament.

 

Yea, a big shame. I am disappointed.

 

Let us look at the bright side. Mascherano gets a very poor set of players which will probably result in an embarassing tournament. Posters on this forum get to continue the long Argentine tradition of castigating the trainer.

 

They cleaned out Boca's entire starting midfield, they better win

 

Its funny everytime someone mentions Boca, players that first comes in mind are the likes of Palacio, Palermo and Rojo instead of Maradona

 

Maradona is understandable, he wasn't in Boca that long, but you should think of Riquelme and Tevez before Palacio and Rojo lol
