Having been dropped from the team for Argentina’s humiliating defeat against Croatia, Banega was handed a starting place against Nigeria – and he pulled the team’s creative strings throughout.
It appears that Banega’s time at Sevilla is coming to an end – particularly with the club’s recent signing of Roque Mesa – and there will be no end of suitors for the classy midfielder who cites Boca Juniors, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan as his former clubs.
A longtime football and wrestling fan who's managed to somehow make a career out of writing and talking about such things, Andrew likes to think of himself as an entertaining, informative, and occasionally humourous writer and radio personality - although you may completely disagree with that.
When not writing or talking about the beautiful game and the squared circle, this Welshman can usually be found watching the not-so-mighty Wrexham AFC, scanning sports channels for any sort of football whatsoever, or re-watching classic Bret Hart matches of yesteryear. Elsewhere, Andrew is known as the Online Editor/Lead Writer of Starburst Magazine, a contributor for outlets such as TheRichest, WhatCulture, and TheQuiz.com, a radio presenter for CalonFM, and a panel host for Wales Comic Con.
