Without Messi, Argentina is testing and should have Flaco López as a starter in the World Cup
Argentina must make changes to its lineup to face Jordan this Saturday (29), at 11pm (Brasília time), in Dallas (USA). The match is valid for the last round of the group stage of the World Cup, with Argentina already qualified for the knockout stage and with the first position in Group H guaranteed.
With this, Palmeiras striker Flaco López, who has not yet played in the World Cup, could have his chance as a starter.
