Argentina face Cape Verde in a crucial 2026 World Cup Round of 32 match, where Julian Alvarez will start from the bench. Argentina take on Cape Verde in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup in Miami, and manager Lionel Scaloni has once again decided to leave Julian Alvarez out of his starting eleven. For this crucial knockout game, Scaloni is set to stick with the same frontline that’s carried Argentina through the group stage, with Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez leading the front. The decision comes down to form and fitness rather than any dip in quality. Alvarez arrived at the World Cup managing an ankle issue that limited his preparation, and it kept him out of the starting lineup for Argentina’s first two group games, against Algeria and Austria He finally earned his first start of the tournament in the group finale against Jordan, but the performance wasn’t convincing enough to unseat Martinez, who has started every match for Argentina so far. Julian Alvarez #9 of Argentina takes a shot at goal vs Jordan. (Getty Images) Alvarez has recovered, but Martinez has been the better option Alvarez is no longer dealing with any lingering fitness concerns — the ankle issue that disrupted his buildup to the tournament is fully behind him, and he’s back to full physical condition. The problem was timing: he spent the days before the World Cup working to recover in time, which cost him valuable rhythm and preparation heading into the group stage. Martinez, meanwhile, arrived in better shape and has taken full advantage of it, starting every match for Argentina and already finding the back of the net. With the Inter Milan forward in strong form and Alvarez still working to fully rediscover his sharpness after a disrupted buildup, Scaloni has made it clear who his starting striker is heading into the knockout rounds.
Major League Soccer recognized Lionel Messi for his performance against Orlando City, despite Inter Miami’s defeat. Last Saturday, Inter Miami suffered a tough 4-3 loss to Orlando City after starting the match in dominant fashion and building a three-goal lead. Despite the setback, Major League Soccer honored Lionel Messi’s performance. “Inter Miami CF captain Lionel Messi has been named to the Major League Soccer Team of the Matchday,” the club announced in a statement published on its official website. “The Argentine earns his fifth Team of the Matchday selection of the campaign after a standout performance in which he contributed to all three Inter Miami goals, recording one goal and two assists.” The Herons’ first-half advantage was largely driven by the Argentine forward’s performance. On Ian Fray’s opening goal, Messi played the pass to Telasco Segovia, who then delivered the cross. He later assisted the Venezuelan midfielder for the second goal, and in the 33rd minute, he scored the third with a precise finish. However, Messi’s performance was overshadowed in the second half by another Argentine. Martin Ojeda led Orlando City’s comeback with a hat trick to level the score and then assisted Tyrese Spicer for the game-winning goal in stoppage time. Matchday 11's best XI. 😮💨Team of the Matchday pres. by Audi: https://t.co/hzNJh99dHI pic.twitter.com/oIPV0HmD2S— Major League Soccer (@MLS) May 4, 2026 Messi keeps piling up accolades The honor awarded by MLS to Lionel Messi as part of the Team of the Matchday for Week 11 adds to a growing list of similar recognitions the Argentine forward has earned for his performances with Inter Miami. In fact, during the 2026 season, Messi has been named to the Team of the Matchday in five of the first eleven weeks. His previous selections came in Matchday 2 (alongside Javier Mascherano, Telasco Segovia, and Mateo Silvetti), Matchday 5 (alongside Gonzalo Lujan), Matchday 6, and Matchday 8. These honors reflect the Argentine star’s production so far this season. Messi has played in 10 of Inter Miami’s 11 MLS matches in 2026—resting only for the March matchup against Charlotte FC—and has recorded eight goals and one assist. Inter Miami’s upcoming challenges Following the tough loss to Orlando City, Inter Miami now have a week to recover both mentally and physically. On Saturday, they will travel to Canada to face Toronto FC in the first of three matches in a one-week span. They will then visit FC Cincinnati on Wednesday, May 13, before returning home the following Sunday to host Portland Timbers.
