Starts again
Almada recorded no stats in Friday's 3-2 win against Cape Verde.
Analysis: Almada was back in his starting position on the left flank for Argentina after being rested in the last match, playing 64 minutes. He would notch only a single chance created and 30 passes, a quiet day for the attacker. With three straight substitutions around the same time in all of his starts, it appears unlikely he will play a full match moving forward, as Nicolas Gonzalez enters as a planned substitute in his place.
Quiet against Austria
Almada regstered one chance created and three tackles (two won) in Monday's 2-0 win against Austria.
Analysis: Almada started again on the left flank for Argentina but was once again pretty quiet, only recording one chance created in the attacking third. This is despite over an hour on the field, now with one shot, a chance created and zero crosses in his two starts. That said, his rough start to the World Cup could open up more time for Nicolas Gonzalez.
