2024-7-27 Saturday 21:00 Team: Argentina u23 vs Iraq u23
Match Analysis: Argentina came close to winning their last match, but had to rely on the referee's extra time to survive. Argentina was already despised by the French in the "Enzo incident", but after the unreasonably long extra time, it was even more criticized by the French people, and in the remaining matches, France, as the organizer, is likely to "wear shoes" to the Argentine team in all aspects. "This time, the Argentinean team's trip to the Olympic Games is not destined to be peaceful.
Before the start of the Olympic Games, I analyzed that Mascherano's level of leadership is not good, Argentina's national Olympic team has always been a "mess" no one is willing to take over, and Mascherano is willing to take over but is a coach with little experience, even if he gives him Alvarez, such as the super striker with a price tag of nearly one hundred million dollars and a few over-age players, but still it is difficult to integrate them together. It's hard to integrate them, and the situation is very much like Southgate's England team.
Although the Iraqi national Olympic team is the lowest price of the team, but the Iraqi national Olympic team in this year's u23 Asian Cup third-place finals staged a shutout, and the first round of the Olympic Games also 2-1 reversed the Ukrainian team, it is not difficult to see that this is a very resilient team.
And the Iraqi team's talented striker, Jassim, is in blistering form, scoring a goal in his first game, and was signed by Serie A promoted Como some time ago, which is a testament to his strength.
All in all, I think the Argentinean team is still caught in a public opinion storm, which has a great impact on the team's preparation, and the team's overall integration is general. The Iraqi National Olympics, on the other hand, because of the first game of the cold to their self-confidence has been greatly improved, the team does not see and the Argentine National Olympics can not break the wrist, so I am optimistic that the Iraqi can hold the data.
Personal recommendation: Iraq +1.5
