The start is hopeful. Or more than hopeful because the Argentine National Team began the Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup with everything and, at the same time, without the most important player in full: Leo Messi. However, the team responded very well, they have already added three consecutive victories and are on their way to the best record they have achieved since World Cup qualification has this format. Yes, the Scaloneta is approaching the best start and with the best in the world, because the captain traveled to Lima and will add minutes, although only this Tuesday Scaloni will finish defining whether it will be from the start or entering from the bench in the second half.
Now, the world champion has been displaying his star with superiority, although the coach does not want to take his feet off the ground and points out that this is “just a feeling” and that the Qualifiers “are very difficult.” The reality is that he beat Ecuador well in his home debut, he had plenty of oxygen in La Paz to beat Bolivia and he deserved much more than the brief 1-0 he achieved against Paraguay. And all with Leo playing from time to time.
With the 2-0 victory over the Peruvian team, the Albiceleste team yesterday equaled its best historical streak as a visitor. It dated back to 1993 when he did not lose in 14 duels since 1990 with Carlos Bilardo (four duels) and Alfio Basile (the remaining 10).
That time, at the beginning of 2000, Marcelo Bielsa's team beat Chile and Venezuela (4-1 and 4-0), beat Bolivia 1-0 at home, won in Bogotá by beating 3-1 Colombia and beat Ecuador 2-0 to reach five consecutive victories, which even today are marked as the best Argentine start since the qualification for the world cups in South America is disputed like this, all against all, something that is established for France 1998.
