Argentina’s Scaloneta remains unstoppable. With five straight wins -including the 2-0 victory over Angola on November 14, 2025- the national team is charging toward World Cup 2026. But not everyone is cheering. Sports journalist Toti Pasman took another swipe at the squad, and this time he got a sharp reply from Yanina Latorre.

What happened between Toti Pasman and Yanina Latorre?

On a live segment with Adrián Pallares on Desayuno Americano before a recent match, Pasman sneered: “Paredes is playing well, imagine what the national team is like.” He even called the midfielder “a donkey”, a remark that Yanina Latorre refused to let slide.

“You’re just bitter,” Latorre fired back in public. “One thing is saying he had a bad night; he said it like Paredes was the star of the whole show. Like everything was… garbage,” she stressed. She didn’t stop there: “He’s a jerk and not even likable. Then he whines about not getting interviews,” she added, recalling a previous run-in outside América Group studios.

Why Latorre’s response matters for Argentina

The Scaloneta, riding a five-game winning streak, isn’t just dominating on the pitch. It’s also facing criticism from some media voices-voices that, according to Latorre, “won’t even suck up to Pamela David.” For the journalist, Pasman embodies the kind of pundit who dismisses the team’s effort even when results are clear.

“If I won’t even suck up to Pamela, I sure won’t to Toti Pasman,” Latorre said, making it plain she isn’t afraid to confront those who belittle the national team. Her reply wasn’t just about defending the players; it was about defending the pride of a fanbase that sees the Scaloneta as a hungry squad hungry for more.

What’s next for the Scaloneta?

With World Cup 2026 in sight, Argentina keeps stacking wins in its buildup. The latest result -Angola 0-2 Argentina (November 14, 2025)- bolsters confidence in a squad led by Lionel Scaloni that’s chasing a repeat of 2022. Meanwhile, off-field spats aren’t slowing the momentum: the Scaloneta remains unbeaten and high on morale.

Latorre’s clapback wasn’t just a personal feud. It was a message to media voices trying to dim the light on a team that’s already shown what it’s made of.
