In the morning sunshine of Wednesday, the decisive battle of Group D came to an end, and the list of the top eight teams was officially unveiled. The former glory of the Argentine team, as if in a hotbed, its opponent is just Ecuador, as if walking through the easy way. If they make it to the quarterfinals, Brazil or Canada will be on the horizon, and Argentina is expected to leap into the final.
However, the fate of the previous runners-up, Brazil, was very different. They could only hope for the best, while Uruguay, the other dominant team in the top eight, became an insurmountable chasm. The winners will have the chance to face Colombia, the team that lost in the final, and now Argentina will be able to enjoy the spoils.
