La Selección Argentina V.2

"Once again waiting on a plane to leave for our destination, what a disaster the AFA are. My god!" - Messi

And the next day:

ICYMI: FIFA quietly took over the Argentine FA today. Will run it, rewrite statutes, hold new election by 2017. http://m.fifa.com/governance/news/y=2016/m=6/news=normalisation-committee-appointed-for-the-argentine-fa-

Argentina should've tried to sign Sampaoli, but he signed with Sevilla.

Tata just resigned over issues with the AFA

I read somewhere that Tata selected 30 something players for the Olympics and only like 7 showed up. Not sure if true.

Argentina's olympic team:

Goleiros:

Gerónimo Rulli (Real Sociedad)

Axel Werner (Atlético Rafaela)

Defensores:

José Luis Gómez (Lanus)

Lisandro Magallán (Boca Jrs.)

Lautaro Gianetti (Vélez)

Víctor Cuesta (Independiente)

Leandro Vega (River)

Alexis Soto (Banfield)

Meias:

Santiago Ascacibar (Estudiantes)

Mauricio Martínez (Unión)

Lucas Romero (Cruzeiro)

Manuel Lanzini (West Ham)

Joaquín Correa (Sampdoria)

Giovani Lo Celso (Rosario Central)

Atacantes:

Angel Correa (Atlético de Madri)

Cristian Espinoza (Huracán)

Luciano Vietto (Atlético de Madri)

Giovanni Simeone (River Plate)

Suplentes:

Ezequiel Unsain (Newell's Old Boy)

Nicolás Tripichio (Vélez)

Joaquín Arzura (River Plate)

Cristian Pavón (Boca Jrs.)

Why was Calleri not called up? I get that the European teams will usually do everything in their power not to cede their players for olympic tournaments but Brasilian clubs usually release them without a problem.

Edgardo Bauza appointed as Argentina coach.

who

He has 2 Libertadores you pleb

I wanted Caruso (Argentine Big Sam who actually saves teams from relegation) for the lulz

Is libertadores even televised

Libertadores

Equivalent of finishing 15th in the PL tbh.

Libertadores. Where our teams reach quarter finals.

I honestly don't care who they appoint as long as Messi comes back, though.

So what? Jogi Löw wasn't exactly a world beater when he was appointed for Germany either.

I heard he'll be paid in Burger King coupons. BC, is that true?

Definitely some form of IOUs. I stil think we owe Martino 6 months of his contract.

Messi's available coupons being used on the manager now he's retired smh.

Lucas Alario

Messi What a drama queen

Finally a coach with brainz to trash Flopguain out

It's interesting because he said he believed in Higuain. Wonder what changed his mind.

Also what are we still doing calling up Demichellis and Guzman? Too many of the same names imo, time to get the youth involved, especially those that are not that young any more

Higuain is focusing on Juventus. He declined the callup himself.

Edgardo Bauza said that Lionel Messi will play against Uruguay. Hope this is true!

@BarrileteCosmico

How legit is Rodrigo Bentancur? Apparently he'll join us in June.

Honestly no idea, even when I watched a lot of football I wouldn't keep up with Boca.

Aguero says he's ready if he will not be selected in Argentina's squad in November. What you guys think of this?

Presidents Mauricio Macri (Argentina) & Tabaré Vázquez (Uruguay) affirmed today that they want that ARG and URU organize the 2030 WC.

They did? No argentine media is picking up on that if true

Anyways there's been rumors about that since at least 10 years ago
