The first round for the Argentine National Team is over. After starting off on the wrong foot against Saudi Arabia, those led by Lionel Scaloni reversed their adverse image and were able to qualify for the round of 16, even being the leader of their group and with two wins in a row. Last Saturday it had been against Mexico and this Wednesday he did the same against Poland.
In a match that they dominated from start to finish, they clearly beat the Europeans 2-0, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Julián Álvarez, both in the aftermath of that match. The 90 minutes were dominated from start to finish for Argentina, who, beyond missing a penalty in the first half at the feet of Leo Messi, did not lose heart and kept trying to take the three points.

Although all the flashes were left with the enormous victory for the Albiceleste, the goals scored by the new generation or the happiness of Lionel Messi in the post-match, there was a detail during the afternoon in Qatar that did not go unnoticed. This is Thiago Almada, who in the last quarter of an hour was called by Scaloni and fulfilled his dream: He made him debut in a World Cup.
He came on in the 84th minute and didn't have much of a role in the game, but he did get some glimpses of the quality of him touching some balls subtly. In addition to this question, his debut is somewhat anecdotal, since in the initial list of 26 players that the Albiceleste coach had selected, his name was not there, but a bit by chance and a bit by other people's misfortune, he had your chance.
How did he come to the Argentine National Team?
On the FIFA double date tour, Scaloni summoned him to play the matches against Jamaica and Honduras. That summons for friendlies already surprised the general public, since he had never had minutes with the absolute team. However, he not only played both on that date, but because of Joaquín Correa's injury, he was called urgently and now he is going for more.
