must be frustration for Icardi.. he scored more goals than Dybala and Higuain.. but wasn't selected.. Icardi should be picked.. the coach made a mistake in my opinion.

the only players in this squad with some substance is, Messi, dybala, aguero, di Maria, and higuain... the defence is going to fail them

I think the manager is mistaken by taking out Mauro Icardi. I think he should be in the squad instead of Manuel Lanzini and the sevilla's Banega. There are two players in his position but he is a must for the team.

Let’s cut Sampaoli some slack here. The coach needs balance. He needs forwards who can contribute to the mid field and he doesn’t find Icardi suitable. How are you even sure he’s a better striker than Higguain or Aguero? How many assists has he made? He’s a good striker no doubt but the team needs more than that.

icardi had most goals but left out... Higuain missed a 1v1 in 2014 WC Final and goes. I support Argentina but they are going out. Nigeria are gonna ride them, poor team defensively.

Franco Armani? Cristian Ansaldi? Nicolas Tagliafico? This defense is going to struggle Salvio and Higuain over Icardi?

At long last last I have believed that football is more of bias than truth. choosing Dybala and Higuain over Icardi. Hmmm this year's World Cup squad full of bias. Lets face the reality not other silly reasons.

I just knew that they would've left icardi out... the coach don't like him one bit and this is a time where likes should've been put aside... icardi truly deserves to be playing, because he's been so consistent with inter... a reward should've been granted for all his hard work
