They lost the most epic game ever to Argentina.
And then two times ago they won.
And they should advance through their group.
Now, look, in this tournament, the top three teams in this group will very likely advance.
So they really should advance through their group.
But I think one of the things that they've really got going for them now is that almost every single guy on this roster is playing in a league and for a team that's playing against the best leagues and teams in the world.
They're in the same league as these guys.
So they're not going to freak out when they see a Harry Kane.
or even a Lionel Messi on the field.
These guys have been on stages like that with this type of competition, and they've proven they belong on the field with them.
Doesn't mean they're necessarily better players than them, but they belong on the field with them.
So I think that's a real positive for this team.
They've got incredible talent at the striker position, better than they've probably had, but they need to come together.
They need to become a team, and that's something we just really haven't seen from them yet.
The way they've played, that's probably what they deserve.
I think their potential is much higher.
I think they have a top 15 type potential.
