With that much attacking power, the midfield needs to be solid and brave. Yeah fair enough then. Mascherano could be great as a CB for the future, but there's no one else I suppose.

Guest Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 @Berserker How has Armani started at River? When he was at Nacional he was the best keeper in the America's. I'm curious to see if he has carried that on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good, in the first match he made a couple important saves and he's kept a good and stable performance not to mention he's reassuring, unlike Lux and Batalla. He's also earned a chance in the NT and Sampaoli will most likely call him for the friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he should replace Romero as he has leadership values and is a clutch player, but I have no doubt Franco Armani is a better keeper. At least for me anyhow.

Guest Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 @Cicero I saw Tevez live here in Lima last night. Based on what I saw, no chance I would take him to the World Cup. It's got to be Lautaro or Dybala as a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, he wasn't called up to the latest squad so now there are doubts. From what I've heard, he's had a bit of an off season at Juve. If he can't play alongside Messi, then try him as a 9 like he was at Palermo. Lautaro Martinez has to be in. Nurture their own Gabriel Jesus. As for Tevez, I went to see him in Alianza Lima vs Boca last night and he was useless. No chance I would take him to the World Cup if I was Sampaoli.

No chance he has to be guaranteed, he was a waste of space every time he was called up, max performance for us from his was a 5. And he was even sent off in one match. I'd take Lautaro any day over him, or even Driussi or Alario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just now, Cannabis said: If you don't mind me asking how much is it to see football in Peru? Depends where you are. I got some of the cheapest tickets to see the game, which were 120 soles. That's the equivalent to 27 pounds. That's for the Libertadores. In the league, Alianza is 50 soles for Oriente. They are the champions at the moment and they are the most expensive. 11 pounds in the UK. As for outside of Lima, its all a gift really. The cheapest tickets for Real Garcilaso vs Santos last night were 15 soles which is 0.22 pounds. I went to Cusco at the end of last year and saw a league game, which cost me 10 soles for the most expensive tickets. My bag of Lays chips is more expensive than that. Its crazy cheap. However, in Lima since there is a lot more people and higher pay, the ticket prices can be decently expensive. Outside of Lima, its a gift.

Cicero Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yeah Dybala has been unimpressive for the national side. I'd try two strikers with Argentina. Either Martinez with Aguero/Higuain. Martinez-----Aguero/Higuain Perotti--------------------------------------------Messi Mascherano--------Pizarro Tagliafico---Otamendi---Mammana---Mercado Romero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me really question Argentina's methods of calling players up. They are very fickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This better be true. Armani has been excellent since joining River (as expected) and like I said, he's been Argentina's best keeper since 2014. He left Atletico Nacional as a Libertadores champion and said himself "I'm tired of not being called up because I play in Colombia" or so I read something like that. The Argentina selection process is really fickle, but Armani plays in Argentina now and he has to be included. Even if its 3rd choice, absolutely baffling that he's not considered.

ScoRoss Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 At least he'd be in better shape than Tevez... Would love to see more European players in South America, even if it's not at the peak of their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Godoy Cruz tied on points with Boca now. I honestly don't think they can win the title as Boca have 2 games in hand, but imagine the scenes in Mendoza if it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Leo Messi has apparently informed AFA that he wishes not to be selected for any forthcoming international games with Argentina for the remainder of 2018. It remains to be seen what occurs after this if true as the rumours are that this could be a prelude to retiring from international duty or that in the very least he is searching for a reduction in travel so as to concentrate on the remainder of his club career.
