Primed for the World Cup: Scaloneta thrashed Iceland in final warm-up

The Argentina national team wrapped up its preparations for the 2026 World Cup this Tuesday. The team will make its debut next Tuesday against Algeria in Kansas City.

The friendly against Iceland in Alabama ended with a strong overall performance. The introduction of the starters, led by Lionel Messi, showed formidable attacking power. The only remaining concern was a few lapses along the defensive line.
