Argentina pick Senesi for Algeria World Cup opener

Argentina will make their World Cup debut against Algeria in what shapes up as an intriguing opening test on the biggest stage. The South American champions are reportedly set to include defender Marcos Senesi in their lineup for the match (1). For the Fennecs, this is a golden opportunity, facing a heavyweight opponent with the world watching, on a day that carries no expectation of anything other than a fearless performance. Algeria enter the tournament as a difficult team to read, with a promising qualifying campaign still shadowed by their puzzling AFCON exit. A strong showing against Argentina would go a long way toward quieting those doubts.
