    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.

    Genuinely one of the most dominant performances of the Scaloni era, but you’d never be able to tell by the scoreline…

    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.

    Could have won by more goals, imo Julian should have stayed on

    Regardless, CHAMPAGNE FOOTBALL ONCE MORE, WHERE ARE THE PLAYFUL BUTTS?

    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.

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