Argentina don't stand a good chance. Everyone's expectations are sky high here, but I'm afraid the team won't live up to them. Maradona pulled it off on his own in 1986; Messi will not be able to make it alone. I think Argentina are a fine team, but they don't have the prowess they are thought to have: we lack headers; many players aren't strong enough or tall enough (these are not minor details, seriously); our defenders (with the exception of Rojo) suck - hugely. Remember what happened 4 years ago against Germany. It'll be absolutely tough from now on.
