No expectations

The way Argentina have played in the World Cup thus far, a case could be made for them being the least impressive team in the tournament. With a very apparently bleak midfield and a shaky goalkeeper in front of the nets, there are not many expectations over Argentina.

In fact, if anything, France are supposed to overrun them. After all, France are better than them in every aspect. Be it goalkeeper Lloris or attacker Mbappe, France perhaps have the most individually talented players among all the teams in the tournament.

But then again, football is a team game and Didier Deschamps hasn’t been able to get the best out of his ultra-talented players, which is why Argentina could against them and start believing.

However, right now, there are no expectations on them, which is something they could use to their advantage.
