Argentina’s path to the World Cup final was tougher than expected, facing no top‑10 teams until the semis but still battling hard opponents, with coach Scaloni saying there are no easy rivals.

Argentina’s journey to the World Cup final was unexpectedly tough, with the team not facing any of the top‑10 FIFA ranked sides until the semifinals. In the knockout stage they met lower‑ranked Switzerland in the quarterfinals and then battled challenging opponents in all matches, proving the path was far from easy.

Coach Lionel Scaloni noted, “No hay rival fácil en un Mundial,” underscoring that every game demanded full effort regardless of the opponent’s ranking. sports24.club
