Argentina beat traditional rivals Brazil by just one victory in a key South American qualifying match and sealed their path to the tournament ahead of schedule, as if to give a shot in the arm to the upcoming men's soccer feast in Paris.
The core competence of the team lies in the precise execution of the tactics of coach Maslanu and the indomitable team spirit of the players. However, compared to previous Argentinean teams, there are very few players in this squad who have the ability to rewrite the destiny of the game.
Manchester City's newest star, Zulian Ivaris, has already made a name for himself at a top club despite being only 24 years old and has been busted into the overage category. Expect him to shine and show leadership in this year's tournament.
The rise of Morocco's national A-team has been even more remarkable after they beat Mali and Egypt to snatch a place in the Paris Olympics. The players' good physical condition indicates that they may show some fierce battle in the first match of the group stage.
Aaan's Sofiane Rahimi, who was honored as the Most Valuable Player with the glory of being the Asian Champion and scoring 13 goals, was the scorer of the tournament. His confidence and flair allowed him to always hit the nail on the head at crucial moments.
Argentina's performance in knocking out Brazil in the South American qualifiers has undoubtedly proved that they are much stronger than Morocco, and the balance of victory in today's battle seems to have tipped in favor of the Argentine side.
