Di goalkeeper for Argentina national team, Emiliano Martinez, don show new look for Miami where Argentina go face Cape Verde for di World Cup round of 16 qualifier. Di new haircut get di colours of Argentina flag, just like wetin e wear during Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Argentina come for dis match with strong determination to continue di good football wey dem show for dia recent win over Austria. Di team don solidify dia base for dis decisive stage of di tournament. Telemundo, wey be di official Premier League channel for USA for Spanish, and di home of FIFA World Cup, dey cover di match.
Di coach Lionel Scaloni plan to make minimal changes to di starting lineup. One key return na Cristian Romero for central defence, after e recover from injury. For attack, di main change be say Lautaro Martinez go start, wey don beat Julián Alvarez for di spot to join Lionel Messi and Thiago Almada. Di only question for di coaching staff na whether Facundo Medina go keep left-back position or Nicolás Tagliafico go return.
Di probable lineup be: Emiliano Martinez for goal; Molina, Romero, Lisandro Martinez, and Medina or Tagliafico for defence; De Paul, Fernandez, and Mac Allister for midfield; and Messi, Martinez, and Almada for attack.
On di other side, Cape Verde, wey dem call “Tiburones Azules”, don be di big surprise of di tournament. Dis na dia first World Cup, and dem don advance without any loss, even after dem share group with strong teams like Spain and Uruguay. So dem be dangerous opponent wey get nothing to lose.
If Argentina win dis match and secure dia qualification, di next opponent for round of 16 go be Egypt, according to tournament projections.
