Argentina

[CatalinR10]

Very tough road ahead of Argentina. If they finish the group stage as No.1 in group F, they might play Switzerland, or even worse, France. If they finish second in the group, it is almost a guarantee to play France. If they manage to beat France/Switzerland, they could be facing either Portugal, or worse, Germany.

not really. Iirc they have the easyest way to the semis.

How so? Best case scenario they will be play against Switzerland, Portugal and then they could be facing Spain/Italy to advance to the semis.

maybe some users have the potential oponents of argentina. I remember being somewhere in the Messi thread. They really have an easy route.

NO WAY brah!


Argentina's road to the final is considered the easiest, not just by the many forum members here, but also by an incredibly amount of sports journalists and pundits. I will go on as far as to say that if they don't make the quarters, then it will be an absolute disaster for them.

How did you conclude Switzerland is in any way a hard opponent in the R2?
Argentina has by far the easiest road to the QF and if they face Portugal in the QF, you can say all the road to the SF.

They also play all of their games in the south of the country which has a kinder climate.

 

[AnfieldEd]

That Sunny is one of my main reasons why I am backing them to win it and it is often ignored that the climate for them is extremely good. Unlike for Germany where the climate for them will be tough.

1st in group -> Switzerland -> Belgium -> Spain -> Brazil

Mark my words.

Portugal would be easier than Belgium

Well, if you guys thinking playing Portugal (or if they flop and end up second in the group and get to play France and possibly Germany) and then possibly Spain an easy route, I don't know what a tough route is.

 

[PaulFCB]

We're talking about QF's there, so Portugal, yeah, is a pretty easy one.

What if Spain ends up 2nd in their own group? They'd have to face Brazil on the first knockout stage.

Did you just answer your own question?
