Argentina at World Cup 2022: Squad, Schedule and Results

The La Albiceleste, come into the Qatar tournament as the most settled and in-form team
The Copa America champions are unbeaten in 35 games (current longest) since 2019 and have drawn with Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in Group C. Odd makers give legend Lionel Messi's last World Cup hopes a 9/1 chance to claim glory.
Manager Lionel Scaloni has managed to galvanise a hungry & talented Argentine squad. Key names consisting of Lautaro, Otamendi, Romero, De Paul, Paredes etc, have provided a much-needed identity since taking over in 2018, leading his country to success in Copa America and La Finalissima in 2021 & 2022, against Brazil and Italy respectively, and hoping to emulate the same in Doha.
Argentina suffered a setback after forwards Nico Gonzalez and Joquin Correa were ruled out of the FIFA World Cup due to injuries. Head coach Scaloni then named Angel Correa and Thiago Almada as their replacements.
