If Argentina does not win the World Cup in Qatar, which team will Lionel Scaloni support?

 

 This Argentinian coach has already thought about it. Being a fan of Latin American football, Scaloni will support any team from this continent. As such, apart from Argentina, only Brazil has the ability to win the World Cup on paper. Scaloni hinted at his support for Brazil at a press conference tomorrow ahead of the Poland clash.

 

Argentina will face Poland today at 1 pm Bangladesh time at Stadium 974 in Doha. Argentina will reach the last sixteen if they beat Poland. In the other match of the group, if Saudi Arabia-Mexico draw, Argentina can go to the second round even if they draw with Poland.

 

 If the Saudis win, Argentina must win, if Mexico wins and Argentina draws, the goal difference calculation will come. However, without going into these equations, Argentina will want to win the match and get a ticket to the last sixteen easily. Their arch-rivals Brazil have already secured the last sixteen by winning their two matches.

 

Scaloni was happy that Brazil reached the last sixteen. He told the press, "I am happy that Brazil has reached (the last sixteen). I am a big fan of Latin American football. I have many brazilian friends. If Argentina can't, I'd like a Latin American team to win (the World Cup). Anyone would be mistaken to think otherwise. They (Brazil) played well and won two matches, congratulations to them.

 

Only Brazil and Argentina have the potential to win the World Cup from Latin America. Even in Uruguay, the team's performance is not satisfying the fans at all. The two-time world champions are at the bottom of Group 'H' with 1 point from 2 matches. Ecuador has already been eliminated from the group stage from this continent. As such, if Argentina is already knocked out of the tournament, only Brazil can be considered in the race for the title from Latin America.
