The World Cup is being played in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and Palmeiras has seven representatives across four different national teams.

Flaco on the bench

Palmeiras’ top scorer this season, Flaco López was once again on the bench under Scaloni and did not play in the World Cup round-of-16 match. Argentina advanced in dramatic fashion after struggling against Egypt, falling behind on the scoreboard before mounting a great comeback led by Lionel Messi, who had missed a penalty in the first half.

Argentina advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, where they will face Colombia or Switzerland, who play each other this Tuesday (07) at 5 p.m. (Brasília time).
