Argentina Team Arrives in Moscow

Ah, Pipita. The former Real Madrid striker is still fondly remembered by Madridistas as someone who scored crucial goals for them during his time at the Bernabeu. For the rest of the world, however, he is a choker who cost Argentina and Lionel Messi a World Cup.

And now, he is in the squad and rest assured, he WILL score quite a few goals throughout the group and knockout stages.

However, against a better team and in a match of the highest magnitude – when the pressure is ready to blow off the ceiling – one can always expect him to miss a straightforward chance like he did against Germany in the final of the last World Cup.

And that alone could brand him as a flop for Argentina on the biggest stage of them all.
