Can't believe folks actually thought this Argentina team had any chance to win this WC. They still have the same problems, they've had for a while, and Messi is older.
They won Copa America and were on a good run but when you rely on bums like Paredes and Di Maria it's always gonna turn out this way :manny:

I saw their squad and thought it looked light. Mixture of washed up and unknowns

Who's really world class in that team?

Having said that, I expected them to comfortably beat Saudi seeing as most of the Saudi team play in their local league.

Maybe that might be a factor :jbhmm:... Most of the squad is drawn from Al-Hilal and Al Nassr... That cohesiveness
