Argentina

This makes a lot of sense, the team will be training in Spain and will fly down to Angola and the local teams are in their most important phase of the season.

Soler from the U-20 would be great to have. Anselmino and Panichelli would be great too. I don't know about Dybala, but Garnacho can be an option. Not to mention Soule lol. Such a shame that Equi got injured.

The list should be coming out next week I assume.

AFA is a joke scheduling only 1 friendly match in November.

For the November friendly, Panichelli deserves the call up. I'm not sure of Prestianni as we have an abundance of his profile, but always nice to call up a young talent.

Currently, my starting XI for the WC

Soule-----------Alvarez----------Messi
-------MacA/Paz----------Equi
--------------------Enzo

RDP was a beast in the WC22 and he still has a place in the WC26 squad, but not as a starter for me and Equi is better imo.

The list for the friendly of November is out!

GK: Rulli, Benitez (Dibu left out to get rest)
RB: Molina
CB: Foyth, Romero, Otamendi, Senesi
LB: Tagliafico

CDM: Enzo, Perrone
CM: RDP, Barco
AM: MacA, Lo Celso, Paz

RW: Messi, Simeone
CF: Lautaro, Alvarez, Panichelli
LW: Almada, Prestianni, Nico G.

My thoughts
- 24 players (22 onfield players) is usually low, but with the disgraceful scheduling for this November friendly, it's only 1 game so not a big problem.
- Happy to see Senesi called up again.
- As much as a good form he is, I don't understand why Barco is called up seeing how the midfield is so stacked. I hope Barco does not play in LB. I would have prioritized in playing players in positions where we need options.
- I think if Equi was fit, he would have been picked over Perrone
- Prestianni over Soule is an absolute disgrace. Soule can play as a touchline winger so there is no reason why Messi and Soule can't play together.
- Panichelli has earned himself a well-deserved call up. His profile is very useful for the team

Also the new home jersey for the WC has finally been released!

This is the jersey that will win the WC

How is Alan Varela doing these days?

He's fine, think he should have left Porto this summer.

Problem that Varela is facing is that in his position, there's a lot of competition.
