Argentina Aim to Bounce Back Against Iraq in Olympic Football Showdown
Argentina’s Olympic campaign hangs in the balance as they face Iraq in a crucial Group B clash. The South American giants are desperate for a victory after suffering a controversial 2-1 defeat to Morocco in their opening match.
A dramatic pitch invasion and a lengthy stoppage time marred Argentina’s previous game, with a late equalizer controversially disallowed. Coach Javier Mascherano is expected to shuffle his pack for this encounter, potentially introducing Giuliano Simeone and Claudio Echeverri into the starting lineup. Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez is set to lead the attack.
Potential Starting Lineups
- Argentina (4-4-2): Rulli (GK), Di Cesare, Garcia, Otamendi, Soler, Hezze, Almada, Medina, Zenon, Alvarez, Echeverri.
- Iraq (4-5-1): Hassan (GK), Saadoon, Tahseen, Ojaimi, Ali, M. Mohammed, Maknzi, Bayesh, Amyn, K. Mohammed, Hussein.
A win for Argentina is imperative to keep their Olympic dream alive, while Iraq will be aiming to secure a spot in the knockout stages. This promises to be a fiercely contested match with both teams fighting for vital points.
