But it does mean... If you look at Argentina at the moment, they've won three international trophies in a row, like Spain in 2008-12.

People think they look good because of that.

But the team is largely the same as throughout that.

It's suddenly looking a bit jaded.

And they have that feel of Spain in 2014.

And I would say that is usually right for a first-round exit, except for the fact that they're in a situation where, because there's 48 teams, there's probably five of them that look like very forgiving opposition, Jordan being one of them, who are an Argentinian group.

And suddenly, as Dion said, you win one game, you've got that safety net, and you're through.

Whereas, say, in some of the other groups...

There's no kind of team that you would look to that everyone else should beat.

So that's going to distort it.

Then suddenly Argentina, who could have been another classic World Cup shock, they're possibly in the knockouts.

Once you're there, you're kind of able to grapple your way through.

I think they've got a strong chance.

And I think it could be a World Cup that favours the second-tier teams because of all these issues to fatigue, like Senegal, Morocco, maybe even Austria.

And within that, because of that, I think...
