In the second game against Mexico, Argentina coach Scaroni dropped Romero and started Otamendi and Big Martin, which worked well.
The third game against Poland, the manager replaced Romero, this game because Poland is not positive, it should be said that Romero did not meet any test.
In the fourth game against Australia, Romero continued to start and Argentina led 2-0 early, but he made a series of errors late in the game and was saved by Martin Jr. 's crucial clearance.
In the fifth match against Holland, Romero started with Otamendi and Martin Junior.

It is not clear whether Scaroni felt Romero was not playing well and replaced him. But Argentina conceded two goals in a row after replacing Romero.
The sixth match against Croatia was the easiest for Argentina, 3-0 up early in the second half. Croatia really had no threat against Argentina and gave up early, and Romero was not tested.
The seventh game against France, a game in which Romero played brilliantly, especially before the 70th minute when France did not have a single threatening shot on goal, but Otamendi's mistake allowed Argentina to concede a late equaliser. In extra time Romero blocked a number of times, especially in the final moments of the leg to the goalkeeper was crucial, the game was incredible Argentina 2-0 up without Martin in the centre three.
