I know they have a strong squad offensively but I would have Icardi as part of my squad every time, just as an extra option. Even take him as a fifth striker especially with Aguero maybe not being 100% and Higuain always seeming to struggle at major championships.

Think I will purchase the new England top with Gerrard on the back.

Should have an England day at Ibrox.

Argentina's squad is always so much weaker than you'd imagine it should be.

Missed out on qualification. It was either them or Argentina who would fail to make it.

What's the difference between a llama and an alpaca?

Did Icardi not pump somebody’s missus and stole his family or something. Don’t think he’s too liked in the Argentina camp.
