Scaloni: Lionel Messi might play some minutes in Kyle Field
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) -Sitting on the roof of a dark-colored pickup truck in the Reed Arena parking lot, Gisella Sericano had an otherworldly experience.
She used the magic of a cell phone camera and WhatsApp to video call family back in Argentina. The slight elevation the truck afforded her allowed for a slim view of a soccer practice taking place on Texas A&M’s Ellis Field.
Back in Argentina, her family received a grainy look at their home team, the Argentina national team, in College Station, Texas.
“They’ve been here to visit us, my family,” Sericano said. “But I never imagined that [Argentina] would be here in Bryan-College Station, playing at Kyle Field tomorrow. I never would have dreamed.”
