Andy Barman

@TouchlineX He can now go to the Sentinel island in the Andamans (India) and train the stone-age tribes there for the 2050 WC.

🚨🗣️ Genaro Gattuso back in October 2025: "If we don't qualify, I will move and live very FAR AWAY from Italy." Italy are now OUT from the World Cup. 🇮🇹❌

@ESPNFC Italy should add ❌️❌️❌️ on top of the 4 stars above the crest to honor this feat.

ITALY WILL MISS A THIRD CONSECUTIVE WORLD CUP 🤯

@TouchlineX 2018 is the outlier as the team was in total shambles, in a complete feud between players and the coach Sampaoli, the worst ARG coach ever. Yet they fought back for a place in the round of 16 and did their best against the mighty France for a 4-3 finish in favor of the latter.

🚨‼️ Every Argentina result in World Cups since they have had Lionel Messi: · 2006: quarterfinals · 2010: quarterfinals · 2014: runners-up · 2018: round of 16 · 2022: champions · 2026: ❓

@TouchlineX AFA could easily have picked higher ranked nations, top 20 teams. What kept it from doing that is pure business to fill the coffers. Top footballing nations will never strike a deal at such high price tag for a friendly but smaller ones will do for some moments with Messi.

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Tension is boiling inside Argentina’s camp; some players are deeply dissatisfied with the matchups arranged by the AFA for this international break. The players are still fully behind AFA, but some voices have grown louder. The squad had hoped for demanding, high-stakes clashes to sharpen them ahead of the upcoming World Cup... but instead, they feel left with fixtures that fall far short of the challenge they crave. What was supposed to be a crucial preparation window is now being seen by some as a missed opportunity.

@albimiamis @Debbybruno3 Yes, you're right.

@and_coolman @Debbybruno3 Since 2010 wc, they got grouped in wc, got eliminated by russia & morocco in r16

Wait, Spain has only won 1 World Cup and gotten to on WC semifinal in their history? How are they getting placed above Argentina as favorites? 😂

@TouchlineX What if Argentina hosts 2028 copa, what if Messi continues till then.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: This could be the very last photo taken of Lionel Messi training in Argentina.

@AlbicelesteTalk What if Argentina hosts 2028 copa, what if Messi continues till then.

📸❤️ Manuel Cortina (photographer of AFA): "Possibly the last ever training session for Lionel Messi at the Ezeiza training complex. March 30, 2026.”

@AlbicelesteTalk Panichelli's injury is a huge loss, he is that classic no. 9 of Kempes, Batigol and Crespo DNA, capable of making a difference as a super sub when the team desperately needs a break through. He is that kind of a striker.

💔🥲 Lionel Scaloni became emotional while speaking about Joaquín Panichelli’s injury and had to leave the press conference, unable to continue speaking. “He had earned his place, he was training very well. I told him he’ll have another chance..."

@AlbicelesteTalk Going by that measure, De Paul should not make the final list.

🚨🚨 Lionel Scaloni: “I think we have too many in the 26-man list and we’ll have to start cutting based on PERFORMANCES. If the performance isn’t adequate, I’ll take action. "The other day’s match may have been a warning." "The World Cup list will be objective and based only on players who are in form."

@AlbicelesteTalk Unlike De La Fuente and Deschamps, Scaloni (like previous ARG coaches) doesn't trust young players, so he will go with his usual team composition. France B team with younger players demolishing a full strength Colombia is a testimony to this. This will cause ARG big problems.

What is your preferred starting lineup for the World Cup? 🤔🇦🇷

@TouchlineX France is making sure Mbappe goes to the WC injury free. A match with Colombia is always a bone crushing fest. An absolute meat grinder.

🇨🇴 COLOMBIA XI: Montero; Daniel Muñoz, Sánchez, Cabal, Mojica; Lerma, Richard Ríos; Arias, James Rodríguez, Luis Díaz; Luis Suárez. 🇫🇷 FRANCE XI: Samba; Kalulu, Lacroix, Lucas Hernández, Digne; Zaire-Emery, Kante; Akliouche, Cherki, Doue; Thuram.

@AlbicelesteTalk Dibu, Molina, Cuti, Licha, Tagli, Simeone, Enzo, Paz, Almada, GOAT, Spider.

@StadiumDB Money power versus legend & history.

FIFA has made its choice. But was it the right one? 🤔 The 2026 World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey — a modern NFL giant with over 82,000 seats and experience hosting mega-events like the Super Bowl and Copa América final. But let’s compare it to the alternative… Estadio Azteca. 🏟️ Azteca advantages: 🏆 The only stadium in history to host two World Cup finals (1970 & 1986) 🌍 Would become the first ever to host a third 👑 A true “spiritual home” of football, filled with iconic moments 🏟️ MetLife advantages: 💰 Built for scale, logistics, and global events 📍 Located near New York — huge commercial and media value ⚙️ Modern infrastructure and revenue potential Does the World Cup final belong in a perfectly optimized venue, or in a place with unmatched football history? While MetLife offers size and business logic, Azteca offers something you can’t build — legacy. And in a tournament celebrating football across three nations, many would argue the final could have crowned that story… in Mexico City. 🇲🇽 We won’t change FIFA’s decision — but you can experience both worlds live.

@TouchlineX This should've been the venue for the WC final. What an iconic stadium. 👏

The Estadio Azteca in Mexico after renovation. 🇲🇽✨

@TouchlineX The world cup final should have been played at this legendary stadium.

Today, Mexico are playing Portugal at the Azteca Stadium in a reopening match following its renovation. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! 🇲🇽✨

@TousiTVOfficial This was all staged drama to buy time.

🚨 BREAKING: IRGC rejects ceasefire Meanwhile the U.S. is deploying army troops for potential ground invasion. We will shortly go live on Tousi TV with full coverage

@Osint613 The gift is Kharg

Trump: “Iran has given us a gift worth a lot of money, related to Hormuz. I think we’ll end the war, but I can’t say for sure.”

@AlbicelesteTalk This is a VERY significant news.

🚨 JUST IN: Agustin Giay has been called up to the Argentina National Team 🇦🇷

@MahyarTousi It's upto the Iranian people now to build the pressure internally, and the immortal guards should immediately be operational. We don't know what kind of manipulation is going on behind the curtains, Trump might pullback with some sort of compromise.

It doesn’t matter who in the Islamic Republic the Americans talk to. The Iranian people’s plan hasn’t changed. Once the regime is crippled soon, the Immortal Guard will take over the country from the Islamic occupiers.
