Many football fans will watch the 2022 Qatar World Cup. These fans will want to watch a lot of Argentina as they have so much talent and we have tried to predict the South American side's starting XI for this tournament.
The country is the current Copa America holder, and with a squad featuring Lionel Messi, there is definitely hope that they will also win the 2022 World Cup.
The 35-year-old has seven Ballon d'Or awards, and many believe this will be his last World Cup, so it will be the last time people see one of the best-ever footballers to play the game at this tournament.
Argentina have not made life easy so far, but there is hope that they can go all the way and lift the trophy.
Who could Argentina start at the 2022 World Cup against Mexico?
With every nation able to pick 26-man squads for this tournament, managers have a lot of work and hard decisions to make when picking a starting XI for the World Cup.
These decisions can sadly be made a little bit easier for managers due to injuries and suspensions. The tournament has started horribly for Argentina as they lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in one of the biggest World Cup shocks ever.
Although this result is worrying, the South American nation has an abundance of talent in its squad which includes Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez and Cristian Romero, and they also have two games to turn things around.
Here is GiveMeSport’s predicted Argentina starting XI for the World Cup Quarter Final match vs the Netherlands:
