Genuinely one of the most dominant performances of the Scaloni era, but you’d never be able to tell by the scoreline…
Tactics 11/10 finishing 1/10
Maybe Scaloni wants to win 1-0 every match at home to honour Messi’s number 10.
Score goal.
Don’t concede (Thank you Mega Dibu).
Lionel Scaloni, you’ve done it again!
Messi was a bit off, understandable considering he really hasn’t played consistently since the last international break. Finishing was off from Argentina, but really like the Lautaro-Julian partnership. Nico González was predictable on the ball but helped with the defense significantly, I can understand why Scaloni hesitated to take him off.
FUCK SANABRIA’S NASTY, STUPID ASS SPITTING ON MESSI.
DUMB FUCK.
Scaloni > Pep
Could have won by more goals, imo Julian should have stayed on
Regardless, CHAMPAGNE FOOTBALL ONCE MORE, WHERE ARE THE PLAYFUL BUTTS?
Lautaro and Julián partnership will give us a lot of joy in the future
One of the sharpest games every. I think in terms of pure efficiency, this game was probably the highest since Scaloni era. Virtually nobody made a single mistake, not even a small one.
I literally don’t want the matches to end. Usually I would be screaming for the ref to end the match to secure the 3 points. Shows how good this squad is. I love this team so much.
Argentina’s last home loss was 7* years ago yesterday

I really hope Garnacho and Lo Celso start against Peru. Scaloni hates making subs during qualifiers it seems.
