My perspective on this Argentine football team.

Argentina's unbeaten streak now stands at 29 games following their victory over Columbia. The last time they lost in an international football match was back in 2019. Since then, Lionel Messi and the Scalonis team have gone 29 games without a loss in all competitions. Italy has gone 37 games without losing, which is the current world record for the longest unbeaten streak in international football. I am hoping that Team Argentina will strive to break the world record in this event.

Prior to competing in the Qatar World Cup, I would like this Argentine team to draw or lose a couple of matches against some of Europe's top teams. In order to achieve this, I want them to put forth their best effort in the friendly matches against the European giants. It's because they're in such good spirits right now that I'd prefer them to draw or lose. They are doing well as a group, but they need to recognize where they are falling short. They must identify their own personal weaknesses in order to improve. France, Spain, and Germany will be better options for them as opponents.

Yes, they are somewhat of an invincible team at the moment, but going into the World Cup as an invincible team is a risky proposition. Their defense and midfield have become extremely compact. This was better than ever before "This is the best performance in the last 15 years." However, the amount of pressure they will be under during the World Cup is something that worries me. If they go into the World Cup as if they are an invincible team, there will always be pressure on them. Whether they are good or motivated makes no difference at this point in the game. Do you remember the Argentine team from 2002? I don't want them to be the same as Argentina's World Cup team from 2002, which was a disaster. Going to the World Cup as an invincible team is a very risky proposition.

Gabriel Batistuta, Juan Sebastian Veron, Ariel Ortega, Pablo Aimar, and Hernan Crespo were all members of the Argentine team during the 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign. This was one of the of the golden generation Argentina ever had. No matter how good they were or how good their playing style was, they were unable to bring home the glory. The current Argentine team is also a product of a golden era of football. They have players such as Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, De Paul, Cristian Romero, and Martinez on their roster. Despite this, they are unable to compete in high-intensity matches. They are capable of containing powerful opponents, but they lack originality and creativity on the field. That is something that I am extremely concerned about.

Hoping for the best. This will the last chance to see Lionel Messi lifting the trophy. I don't want to cry again like 2014.

Well, Argentina is a great team but sometimes I think the players performance a kind of individual strategy, they have amazing athletes but at the end of the day working together is what rally matters. Let's not forget Argentina vs Germany 2010.

Yes. They are a compact team now. If you see the last Copa America final then u will see that there was no individual performer. Argentina won the trophy because they didn't depended on only Lionel Messi. They played as a team. But before the world cup i want them to play a few matches against the top nations. In this way they will find their lacking's.

I honestly can't see a non-European team winning the World Cup. But, the level of stability in Argentina is like none before in the modern era. They also finally have a great goalkeeper in the back, and they seem to have a lot of heart, I wish them the best.

I pray that this Argentine team would win the world cup in Qatar, at least if not for anything else let them win it for Messi.
