In a country where the national passtime is remarking prices there's no time to make a cool infographic or a fancy video presentation of the World Cup squad so our national team did the next best thing.
That's is a vertical cell phone video of Lionel Scaloni announcing wich players will be going to Qatar.

Keep at it.
Are we going to get angry copa America final messi again for this tournament?

Also, I just looked it up and Higuaín is only 34 this year.

Do you know if they’re going to start Rulli or Martinez and is Julian Alvarez going to play?

Speaking of which, I always want Argentina to just throw caution to the wind and play something like a 3-3-4 with something like Messi-Dybala-Alvarez-Martinez-Gómez up front and di Maria, de Paul and Paredes in mid. Then they can have one center back and maybe a fullback as a treat. They might concede a lot of goals but I would enjoy it.

This is the first one I saw, but they all look basically the same because messi always plays the same position.

I think the plan is to play using a 4-1-3-2 formation with Di Maria and Martinez/ Alvarez upfront and Messi floating in the middle.
EDIT: Something like this:

Joaquin Correa and Nicolas Gonzalez got cut out of the squad due to injuries and will be replaced by Angel Correa and Thiago Almada. It's a shame they didn't found any Gonzalez for the job.

I’m don’t know much about argentinian football but why are there so many dudes that haven’t played a world cup before? If they were in their early-mid twenties I could see it ofc but they’re not?

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
