Ready for the World Cup: Scaloneta thrash Iceland in final friendly

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 solid overall performance. The introduction of the starters, led by Lionel Messi, showed a fearsome attacking power. The only lingering concern was a few lapses in the defensive line.

Alexis Mac Allister scored the first goal for La Scaloneta at the start of the match. In the second half, the team hit the woodwork twice before extending the lead.

La Pulga won a penalty that Lautaro Martínez converted into a goal. Minutes later, Messi himself led the move that Thiago Almada turned into the final 3-0.
