I do actually think they've got a new generation of players.

I think Nico Paz has the potential to explode into one of the best players in the world.

And I also think Julian Alvarez, I know he played a big part of the previous tournament and he's very well established, but...

I think he's actually maybe still slightly underrated.

I think he's quite close to being the best number nine if you want to consider him that.

He's probably not quite a number nine, but there's very few players I would rather start with than Alvarez.

I think he's brilliant with and without the ball.

So yeah, to be honest, I wasn't that hot on Argentina last time around.

So I'm kind of not going to write them off because I didn't think they'd win it last time.

I thought they had too many weaknesses in their team last time.

And I suppose I still think roughly the same thing.

And Messi, four years on or three and a half years on, I just don't think we'll be able to provide the...

The dynamism, the qualities and the big moments they need on such a consistent basis.

So I think to a certain extent, it will be about balancing his contributions with making sure that the likes of Paz and Alvarez are not overshadowed.

Yeah, I think their success at the Euros two years ago was quite underrated.

The manner in which they outplayed pretty much everyone, some really strong contenders, how attacking and how bold their football was.

They're a little bit of a different side this time around.

I mean, they had Morata up front last time.

He's not there.

They do have Pedri who limped off midway through the quarterfinal against Germany in 2024.
