Lionel Messi will look to win his first World Cup when Argentina takes on France on Sunday. Find the Argentina World Cup predicted lineup below.
Argentina World Cup predicted lineup vs France (4-3-3)
GK: Emiliano Martinez – Martinez’s first senior international call-up came ten years and three days after he made his Albiceleste debut in 2021.
RB: Nahuel Molina – The quarterfinal’s goal scorer is no stranger to the goal, having netted an astounding seven goals (all without the use of a penalty) for Udinese’s previous season in Serie A.
CB: Cristian Romero – Since Germany’s Christian Ziege came off the bench in the 2002 championship game, the center-back might become the first outfield Tottenham player to appear in a men’s World Cup final.
CB: Nicolas Otamendi – Otamendi, an avid boxer in his spare time, has brought his aggressive style to the field during this World Cup, where he has committed more fouls than any other Argentine player (11).
LB: Marcos Acuna – Fortunately for Acuna, Argentina’s semi-final performance was not affected by his suspension.
CM: Rodrigo De Paul – Claims to be the team’s “spare tyre.”
CM: Enzo Fernandez – After Messi announced his first international retirement in 2016, Fernandez referred to himself and the rest of Argentina as “a bunch of nobodys” in comparison to his future teammate.
CM: Alexis Mac Allister – The Mac Allister family has a strong football tradition. The father, uncle, cousin, and two brothers of Alexis have all played professionally.
RW: Angel Di Maria – In order to avoid delaying the sale of Di Maria, Real Madrid wrote to him eight years ago urging that he skip the World Cup championship game. Di Maria destroyed the request but wasn’t healthy enough to appear.
ST: Lionel Messi – With 26 appearances, Messi will surpass all other players in the history of the men’s World Cup, barring the improbable scenario in which he fails to play on Sunday.
LW: Julian Alvarez – Alvarez posed for a photo with Messi when he was 11 years old, and Messi also appeared on his bedroom wall.
