Yep.
😳
1) He’s not ready for either national team, so he shouldn’t make a move either way. He’s already played for the USA 🇺🇸 (Slovenia Nations Cup), but that doesn’t sound like anything that would tie him to the US. Don’t know.
If it doesn’t tie him to the US, he can play for either team and then switch later if he wants.
I don’t know if Argentina qualified for the Olympics, but if I were Benjamin, I would try to play in the Olympics next year and maybe get into the U-20 World Cup in 2025 (he’s eligible) and then make my decision.
But if Messi tells him that he wants him on the team for WC ‘26 qualifiers, it would be extremely difficult to say “No” to that. Cremaschi has already mentioned in interviews that Messi has talked to him about possibly playing for Argentina.
2) Andres Cantor pronounces “Cremaschi” like an Argentine who knows that it is an Italian last name.
The “ch” is a “k”.
The “s” is swallowed with only a slight exhale letting you know that it exists, because most of Argentina swallows an “s” that flows into a consonant.
España = Ayhh-paña
Busco = Boohh-ko
Esquina = Ayhh-keena
Cremaschi = Kraymahh-kee
