Flaco gaining space
The Argentine National Team is among the strongest teams in the World Cup, especially after its outstanding performance in the last edition of the tournament.
Flaco López is experiencing a moment of ascension in the national team and has been exciting the Argentines. The Palmeiras striker gained more space and will have the opportunity to play as a starter in this match, which could pave the way for important minutes in the competition.
Very strong competition
