Argentina begins their 2018 World Cup against Group D rivals Iceland in a match labelled as the ultimate David vs Goliath encounter. Lionel Messi and Co. could make light work of a team, which has shown remarkable progress in the last few years starting with the European Championship and then winning their qualifying group for the World Cup.

The Argentinian squad managed by former Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli is under resurgence and has been tipped by many to go the distance in Russia. Their striking department is where Argentina looks the strongest with players like Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria, Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala, regular performers for their clubs. Dybala, in particular, had a sword hanging on his place in the final 23 but the coach faith shown in the young Juventus forward, but he may miss out on the playing eleven due to the presence of certain Lionel Messi.

Iceland, buoyed by the famous Viking clap from their supporters knows they are up against it in their first match ever at the World Cup. Involvement of skipper Aron Gunnarsson is a mystery, and he will undergo a late fitness test to prove his fitness. This match could very well turn out to be a goal fest if Iceland fails to make themselves compact and are not patient when they do not have possession which they will not for large parts of the game. They will need to avoid sloppiness at all costs and make Argentina earn their goal rather than offering it on a plate to the South American side.

The Barcelona attacker has seen a lot of disappointment at the international level and had even quit playing for Argentina, but a rejuvenated Messi is back to being the talisman for his side. Though he still faces the same pressure as he did in the past, he has been performing extraordinarily well. Iceland will have trouble stopping his marauding runs, and they will be a danger of exposing themselves at the back if they man-mark him with force.
