Argentina FIFA World Cup 2018 - Russia Squad

The Albiceleste's qualifying campaign was a long, hard and an arduous march to Russia. Two managers fell aside to make way for Jorge Sampaoli.

Lionel Messi has shown why he is one of the Greatest Football Players as he has been the Sun of Argentina's Solar System, leading them from the front.

 

Too much has been said about their dependence on Lionel Messi. With the likes of Aguero, Di Maria, Higuain and Dybala they have strength, speed and quick feet to win the games.

Argentina still has the same talent that propelled them to the Finals of the Brazil-2014 edition. A fragile defence increases their problems as they made the cut on the last day of qualification.
