Argentina have looked a pretty solid unit since their shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in their first match of the tournament. They were clinical in the way they saw off Poland in their last match and in the match before that against Mexico, even though they looked shaky in the beginning in what looked like an after-shock of their loss to Saudi Arabia. Now, they would be looking to avoid an upset against an unheralded Australia.
The Australia players seem to be understandably star-struck when talking about Argentina’s captain, the iconic Lionel Messi. “He just does things that, you know, no one else can do,” forward Mathew Leckie said. Milos Degenek went even further. “Probably,” the Socceroos defender said, “the best footballer ever to grace the game.” The Australians are looking to stage the latest upset in a World Cup that has been full of them — right from the moment Saudi Arabia shocked Argentina in perhaps the most unlikely win in the tournament’s 92-year history.
That set the tone for the past two weeks, during which Japan has beaten both Germany and Spain, Morocco has defeated Belgium, Tunisia has beaten France and, let’s not forget, Australia has stunned Denmark. The Australians want to add to that list. “No one expects us to win,” Leckie said. “So let’s shock the world.”
