Messi scores in Argentina’s World Cup warm-up
Argentina warmed up for the World Cup with a 5-0 win over the Unites Arab Emirates Wednesday night in Abu Dhabi.
Two goals from Angel Di Maria and goals from Julian Alvarez, Lionel Messi and Joaquin Correa extended their unbeaten run to 36 games.
Midfielder Rodrigo De Paul said they are confident, while also taking precaution:
“But for many it will be their first World Cup so the first game will be very important,” De Paul said.
Argentina will open their World Cup adventure against Saudi Arabia on Nov. 22 before also playing against Mexico and Poland in Group C.
The audience are soccer supporters getting ready for the world cup. The lead is too long in my opinion. I do not think it has to include the goal scorers. But if you take that away the lead works and includes everything what it needs to include.
It does not have a point of view normally, however people could argue that the a “superb goal” could be of a point of view since people could have different meanings of what a superb goal, maybe based on the qualities of different people when it comes to soccer. But besides this one term there is no point of view as the article just talks about the game.
This article does not miss anything, while it even talks about why some players were not listed on the roster today.

One response so far
I would agree the lead is too long. There is a “philosophy” of news writing, especially in sports, that you need to include as many names as possible. Readers have their favorite players, teams have their stars. Get the big names in a story and people will read.
I’m not sure I agree.
