This group is effectively the going away party for Lionel Messi and on paper is a good enough group to test Argentina but I don’t think overwhelm them at any point either.
After rolling through South American qualifying in second place, Argentina has their sights on the grand prize, something that eluded Messi and company in 2014 when they lost the final in extra time to Germany. This feels like a much more balanced team for Argentina who lost in the first knockout round to eventual champions France in the last tournament.
Poland and Mexico are both knockout level teams but not much more threat than that, with El Tri boasting an impressive streak of Round of 16 losses at the World Cup.
