Messi will play with Argentina on Saturday against Malta or San Marino.
FFS they're worse than Israel and Haiti.

We should just round up all the players who aren't going to the WC+some B players and play Argentina. at least with what we have would provide some decent competition compared to those teams. :lol:

Whoever set up this friendly for Argentina must have been either dump or paid some serious money.

Hopefully all the players can move pass this distraction and focus on playing their best for their country.

Occupation is not just the savagery of snipers, bombs and drones. It’s also the constant, slow drip humiliation of having the most basic dignity squeezed out of you and your people piece by piece.

I am thrilled this was called off. A small but important victory.

Free Palestine!

Whoever talks about politics in the football sub-forums should be banned. smh

AFA really lives up to its reputation. They are really an incompetent bunch aren't they? What good will come from their match against Malta/San Marino? Could've picked a bunch of amateurs from the streets of Barcelona and it wouldn't be much of a difference. They'll be ill prepared for the start of the WC and the group is far from a cakewalk.

The "friendly" was cancelled for political reasons, therefore there is nothing wrong in discussing politics.

I don't agree that Messi should have boycotted the match as had been mentioned by some earlier, but I'm happy for the message that this cancellation sends.

That being said, this friendly shouldn't have been organized in the first place and playing San Marino / Malta is a joke.

They should play against Catalonia. They are a much better team than San Marino even without Pique and Busi but it could be tough to get their players back from vacations.

Its good that it got canceled. Messi is already despised by a lot of muslims. Him being at the west wall again and being friendly with Israel would have been fuel to the whole Messi supports zionists theme that gets put around so often.

Their prep would have been worse if they played Israel when their players didn’t want to and they faced media attention because of what’s going on right now. Also remember higuain is half Palestinian.

They’ve been playing club football all year I don’t think playing a bad team will mean anything, it’s just about staying match fit and having the squad together
