The most renowned event in the world, the FIFA World Cup, will take place in Qatar in November. Argentina, a superpower in Latin America, is listed among the hot favorites in this 22nd edition. Argentinian fans are hoping that the football master may be able to win this year’s title by competing in the final tournament. Argentina fans are optimistic about winning the World Cup after winning the Finalisima and Copa America.
We have pointed out some reasons for the probability of Argentina winning the Qatar World Cup in this report. Brazil and France are also on the list of hot favorites for the Qatar World Cup 2022. But in which direction is Argentina ahead of everyone? Why do the fans become optimistic in this season? Let’s find out.
1. Argentina, The Irresistible
Argentina tasted the last defeat in 2019. Since then, Lionel Messi’s team has been irresistible in 33 consecutive matches. The team won Copa America last year after 28 years without a title. Albiceleste also defeated Italy in La Finalisima, a continental battle for supremacy, a few days ago. Lionel Scaloni’s team also holds their place in the top three in the FIFA rankings. Such statistics before the World Cup will surely motivate the team.
2. Messi, The Lighthouse of the Hope
Football fans criticize that Messi has not been seen in the national team as much as he has played for the club. Besides, the slander of not being able to win any trophy for the country had to be heard. However, he has stopped criticism from all critics of his leadership in winning the trophy in the last Copa America. Now Albicelestes are waiting for the football magician to win the World Cup.
Messi has won the Ballon d’Or seven times and has only one FIFA World Cup missing from his career. However, the dream came very close in 2014 when Argentina had to come back as runners-up. At that time, the football magician missed the golden opportunity to win the World Cup trophy. In the last FIFA World Cup in Russia, Argentina can not play well, but Argentina’s recent performances have raised hopes of Qatar winning the coming World Cup. Albicelestes dreams of winning the third World Cup in Qatar with Messi’s hand.
3. Lionel Scaloni, Who Unite the Team
Argentina is the name of a team that revolved around a shady alley five years ago. That team is now full of brilliance. Last year, the team won the Copa America and Finalisima titles and remained unbeaten in the previous 33 matches. The main reason for the team’s success is the team’s dedication and unity. The team’s coach Lionel Scaloni has tied the team together. Under his leadership, the fans want to end the 37-year wait for the World Cup title.
4. Emiliano Martinez, The Great Wall of China
Emiliano Martinez is the current Great Wall of China for the Argentines at the goalposts. In his presence, Lionel Messi was relieved on the defensive side. Whatever happens on the field, Martinez’s job is to keep a cool head and keep the goalposts secure. Besides, Argentina has not lost any match since joining the team in June 2021. This Martinez can be a turning point in this World Cup.
Final Words
In recent times, every department in Argentina is strong enough. Coach Lionel Scalney has managed to tie everyone on the team. He has been able to make great use of the football magician Messi, to the benefit of the Argentine team. If Argentina can hold on to their recent performances, they can expect to win the Qatar World Cup.
