Argentina, the current world champion, stepped into the French competition with the title of favorite in this year's Paris Olympics. They played against Morocco in their first match. Albiceleste left the field with a 2-2 draw in that match, but the controversial decision left the field empty-handed. However, the criticism was not less. Argentina's Olympic team coach Javier Mascherano called it a circus.
Argentina's World Cup-winning captain Lionel Messi also expressed anger about that match. After the match, he wrote on his social media, 'Unbelievable.' The current world champions will take on Iraq today at the Groupma Stadium in their second match of Group 'B'. Mascherano's disciples have no choice but to win this match if they want to survive.
The match will be held today at 7 pm Bangladesh time. Albiceleste is ahead of Iraq in terms of strength and experience in this match. The World Cup winning star footballer Julián Alvarez can be the trump card of the world champions in this match. Despite not seeing a goal against Morocco earlier, all eyes will be on this young forward in the crucial match. Albiceleste also lost their first match but Iraq won their first match against Ukraine. The team won the gold medal by losing 2-1 in that match. Due to which Iraq will enter the field with confidence in today's match.
As a result, it can be said that in order to survive, Argentina may have to give a tough test in this match. However, Argentina and Iraq have never met before in the Olympics. Due to which both teams are strangers to each other on this stage. However, the South American country is ahead in terms of experience in this tournament. Earlier, Argentina won the Olympic gold medal in 2004 and 2008. On the other hand, Iraq has not yet won a medal in this tournament.
On the other hand, according to French and Argentine media sources, Argentina was caught in the grip of theft before entering the field in the first match. The champions have also complained to Leo police about this. Argentine coach Mascherano opened his mouth about that. He said, 'They (players) went to practice, and they stole the hotel. We didn't want to say anything after practice. It didn't seem to work. But of course such a case cannot be accepted. Thiago Almada can't find his watch and Earth.'
