Picking Argentina's 2018 World Cup Squad After Latest International Games

For so long, Argentina's squad has promised so much...yet utterly failed to deliver in the moments that mattered most.

The 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa America and the 2016 Copa America Centenario: La Albiceleste reached the final of each, yet lost them all. Thankfully for this particular group of players, another chance is fast approaching: The 2018 World Cup in Russia, which is quite possibly the last opportunity for major international success for some of the squad.

Assuming, that is, that Argentina actually qualify—and there's no guarantee of that, with a 2-0 defeat to Bolivia on Tuesday night leaving Edgardo Bauza's team fifth in the standings.
