New York/Harrison, The United States held Saudi Arabia to a goalless draw Tuesday night in Murcia, Spain, in their final warm-up game before the Soccer World Cup. This result is non-impressive and worrying for America.
After failing to make a single shot on goal during a 2-0 loss to world No. 24 Japan on Friday, the US team managed to do so only twice against 53rd-ranked Saudi Arabia. In the last seven matches against the countries that have made it to the World Cup, the US team has been able to register only one win, while it has lost three matches and drawn three.
Scaloni to remain Argentina coach till 2026 World Cup
On the other hand, Leonel Scaloni will continue to coach the Argentina national football team until the 2026 World Cup. Argentine Football Federation President Chiqui Tapia made the announcement after the national team’s 3-0 win against Jamaica in their final warm-up match before this year’s World Cup. “We will continue to bet on the overall plans for the national team,” Tapia said.
The 44-year-old Scaloni replaced Jorge Sampaoli after Argentina’s defeat against France in the pre-quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup. Argentina won the Copa America title last year, its first major title since the 1993 Copa America. Since the defeat against Brazil in the Copa America on July 2, 2019, Argentina is unbeaten in 35 matches.
