- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
He was on bench.

Arg started tonight 25 year old Lanzini (west ham midfielder). West ham are fighting relegation this season.
And then he started 21 year old Lo Celso who i dont think starts for PSG regularly.
How have these players proved more than Dybala and Icardi.
And Mascherano point stands. Playing in uncompetitive league like China will affect your form. Going to wc with past glory is exactly the issue we have seen before. Cannavaro 2010 comes to mind. You are not supposed to be picked on past but current form.

Dybala is not a winger, is not a 10 and is not a 9. He is like Bebeto, Brazilian player wc champion in 1994. If were those times of 4-4-2 Dybala would be fighting for the balon d'or.
He is the second most talented Argentinian in this generation imo, but its hard to fit him and Messi in the same line up.
I suspect he is fighting with Lanzini for a place in the nt. Would not be a surprise if we see Lanzini in the wc. Argentinian coaches use to do this kind of exotic move to prove a point or send a message.

Sampaoli or whatever his name is a joke. His reasoning to exclude both Dybala and Icardi in favour those two nobody does not make any sense.
I don't think Icardi will ever get selected because of his past with Maxi Lopez. He's become rotten in Argentinian federation's eyes.
Dybala...god knows. Maybe he's not argentinian enough? or they don't like that he has Polish/Italian roots?

IMO is stupid to not call Icardi because past incidents with Maaxi Lopez. In the end what matters is his football form and he is not going there to make friends or make a social life with anyone. If he is called, and he plays, his teammates should support him on the field at the very least and work as a team.
In Dybala´s case is also alien to me... well.. they have the excuse of him returing from an injury but is not even that good of a excuse..... and them not having a back up to messi , is a great chance to take dybala, at least to have him on the bench just in case the drawf gets injured.
I can undertsand them not knowing where to put dybala in the starting 11 because he is a weird player and is difficult to accomodate him even in juve... but not to take someone of his talents is bollock anyways in my eyes. To a world cup you take the best players at your disposal.. not the more lovely ones.
