Argentina in FIFA World Cup 2018
FIFA world cup is about to begin. Every football fan all around the globe are waiting for this
greatest international event to happen. And just like last year every Messi fan is dreaming of having their champ the only silverware he is being deprived off so far.
But to me Argentina even after having some of the great names in their squad especially in the attacking like Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala, Angel Di Maria, Mauro icardi still misses to impress us because to certain extent there is only one player carrying Argentina(offcourse Messi it is), he has the most contribution to the team & in 2018 WC qualifiers he even proved it, He single handedly took his team to this year world cup.

Argentina is a good team but not a complete one. On nice days, they can beat anyone with attacking magic but on the other days they can frustrate their fans by some technically limited but detemining opponents.
Overall they need a team who can play by sacrificing their pride. Their chance of winning the world cup depends on how they will line up their squad and for this the greatest factor is their coach Jorge Sampoli. Every one knows what he brings to the game mentally, physically and technically. He made a not so good sevillia and chile to challenge big clubs and teams like Real madrid, Barcelona ,Brazil ,Argentina.He will be so good for Argentina in pusuit for the cup.If messi was able to lead Argentina this far with mediocre coaches and tactics then i think Sampoli will be the man to handover messi the only missing trophy in his pocket.
Finally I'd rate their chance to win it all a 6/10. Yes, they are up there with maybe the top 5 contenders for the championship but they often come up short of their full potential when it matters in a big match on a big stage. Messi deserves an international trophy in his well shinning trophy cabinet he is currently in a good form for Barcelona and as long as this form continues they will have a chance.Also Argentina strikers are in good for Gonzalo Higuain, Dybala, Icardi and Aguero and there is no such big problem with midfield the only big thing that they have to focus on is their vulnerable defense that need to co-ordinate with messi and if they do it right they have a bright opportunity.
So, all the best to them!
