Can Argentina do it this time?

The South American team is so much more than Lionel Messi. Though there is no doubt that Messi is their best player and very much single-handedly took Argentina to the FIFA World Cup 2018 via qualifiers, the team has many other deadly players as well.

The crop of forwards which Argentina has right now is arguably better than any other National Team's right now.

Though they don't have as much depth as other teams in departments such as midfield and defence, but their experience of 3 finals at on the international stage should come in handy. If they successfully manage to get the likes of Messi, Dybala, Aguero, Higuain, and Di Maria link up their play, no team in the world can stop them.

Jorge Sampaoli uses man-oriented high press to disrupt the ability of the opposition to build from the back. Though the toughest task for him is to find a position from where he can get the best out of Messi, he has mainly used the talisman so far as a 'number 10' who collects the ball from deep and runs at the opposition.
