The buildup to Argentina, under the microscope
According to the latest live coverage, this Sunday, June 21 Argentina wraps up preparations with the match against Austria in mind.

Among those names are the ones that uphold the identity of the Scaloni era:
- Lionel Messi, the emblem and unavoidable reference.
- Lautaro Martínez, one of the most important forwards of the cycle.
- Julián Álvarez, a heavyweight option up front.
- Enzo Fernández, a key piece in midfield.
They are players who are part of the national team’s universe today and who, because of their stature and influence, are always central to any analysis of Argentina’s road toward the World Cup.
What’s next for Argentina
The immediate schedule shows that Argentina remains focused on the match against Austria, with the end of training as a key step beforehand.

For now, the concrete news is this: last training session and Scaloni will speak. From there, it will be a matter of waiting to see how the team arrives for the next game and what clues the coach leaves about the squad, rotation and match plan.
La Scaloneta keeps rolling, with World Cup 2026 on the horizon and Argentina trying to get every detail in order before taking the field again.
