Argentinaare back. Aftersome tough years,Lionel Scaloniput theArgentine national team back on its feet. Winners of the 2021 Copa America in Brazil and second in World Cup qualification after a lot of media backlash when he took over, Scaloni has found the core group of players to head towards the World Cup.

With Lionel Messi as the central figure for Argentina, Scaloni has integrated the experience of others and has played a style that is defensively sound and deadly on attack. Lautaro Martínez, Rodrigo De Paul, Nicolás Tagliafico, and Emiliano Martínez make up the rest of the core group.

After Argentina’s 0-0 draw with Brazil in the last round of Conmebol World Cup qualifying on November, Scaloni’s side managed a new modern-day record for the Argentine national team, an over 20 game undefeated streak. And, after defeating Jamaica 3-0in an international friendly played in Miami,Argentina extended their undefeated runto a total of 36games.
