U17 World Cup : Argentina vs. Honduras (Match Preview)

We’re just hours away from the kick off of our first match against Honduras, so here is a short preview.

The Match

One thing is for sure is that being lumped in the Group of Death (something I’m sure we’re all quite used to it) means that Los Pibitos have to make the most from their debut match against the Central American side, with all due respect arguably the weakest team in this group. We need to make a positive start here before facing European champions Germany and the host & current holders Nigeria.

Starting Line-Up

Jose Luis BROWN has confirmed the starting line up for today’s match will be as follows: -

Damián MARTINESZ; Leandro MARIN - Leandro GONZALEZ PIREZ - Esteban ESPINDOLA; Esteban ORFANO - Ezequiel CIRIGLIANO - Franco BITANCOURT - Jorge BALBUENA; Sebastian GONZELEZ; Daniel VILLALVA - Sergio ARAUJO

This will be the first time Argentina will face Honduras in a FIFA sanctioned tournament (please feel free to correct me here). The match will be played at the Abuja Stadium at 16:00 local time. Be sure to join us at Mundo’s Chat Room.

VAMOS PIBITOS!!!
