Argentina’s World Cup title defense draws a frenzy in Kansas City as Messi nurses a hamstring strain
KANSAS CITY: (Jun 4) Turns out that reigning World Cup champion Argentina draws quite a crowd no matter where it goes.
Whether it be fans surrounding the team’s upscale hotel near downtown Kansas City, or their first training session opened to media Wednesday that drew hundreds of reporters to the facilities of Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City, there are few places that Lionel Messi and the rest of La Albiceleste are not the center of attention as the tournament draws near.
They begin their title defense against Algeria at Arrowhead Stadium on June 16.
