BUENOS AIRES: The image is still remarkable. Lionel Scaloni standing impassively on the sidelines after Gonzalo Montiel scored the decisive penalty in the final of the 2022 World Cup, giving Argentina their third star with a victory over France. The coach didn’t celebrate at first, remaining still, silent, as if oblivious to the feat he himself had helped to accomplish.
