Argentina vs Australia: Alignments and LIVE updates
Lionel Messi
Argentina and Lionel Messi continue their quest for the biggest prize in soccer, but face a resilient Australian side in a delicious round of 16 clash in Qatar.
After overcoming a poor start against Saudi Arabia, Argentina managed to win their remaining matches against Mexico and Poland to secure a ticket to the round of 16. La Albiceleste would now like to continue their winning streak and defeat Australia to continue their quest for glory.
Once again, all eyes would be on Lionel Messi to guide Argentina to victory with a stunning performance. Another silver lining for Argentina would be that they have beaten Australia in their previous 4 meetings, a streak that Lionel Scaloni would like his team to continue.
Considering the quality gap between the two teams, it would be a competitive matchup for the Australian team. The Socceroos shocked the world when they secured qualification from a competitive group. But despite the difference in height, the World Cup in Qatar has already seen some massive results and Australia could surely shock the world by beating Argentina.
