Coming into the tournament as the defending champions, many expected Argentina to pick up right where they left off, and the side has done just that. After completing the group stage of the tournament, Argentina remains unbeaten and has won all the games so far.
Having taken on Algeria, Austria, and Jordan, Argentina has registered three victories and has topped its group as well. At the forefront of their victories has been the legendary
