In the Olympic men's football group B, Morocco and Iraq are both 3 points, ranking 1st and 2nd in the group, Ukraine is 3rd with 0 points, and Argentina is at the bottom with 0 points. The top two teams in the group will advance to the knockout round, and if Argentina loses to Iraq in the second round of the group stage, they are likely to miss out on qualification. In the case of Argentina's defeat to Iraq, only Ukraine can win against Morocco, then Argentina will have any hope of qualifying.
In fact, it is not uncommon for Argentina to fail to reach the knockout rounds at the Olympics. Argentina has won two men's Olympic gold medals in 2004 and 2008. They missed the 2012 Olympics and finished third in their group for the next two Games.
Argentina's opponents in the next round of the match, Iraq, reached the final of this year's Under-23 Asian Cup, losing to Japan and finishing as runners-up. The Iraq team is captained by 28-year-old overage Hussein, who scored six goals in four appearances and two starts in this year's Asian Cup, ranking second in the scorers' list, just behind Qatar striker Afif, who scored eight goals.
Iraq also has 20-year-old Jassim, who joined Serie A promoted Macomo this summer. In the 2-1 Ukraine match in the opening game of the Olympic Games, Hussein and Jassim scored for Iraq. Although the 5.7 million euro Iraq team is the least expensive team in the Olympic men's football team, its strength should not be underestimated.
Argentina's 247.55 million euros is only lower than France and Spain, of which Alvarez alone is 90 million euros. Argentina's Echeverri is also in the spotlight, joining Manchester City and on loan at River Plate, who is currently valued at €18 million. Echeverri excelled at last year's Under-17 World Cup (hat-trick against Brazil) and his style of play is similar to that of Messi, with great individual ability and superb footwork.
Junior Mascherano's team are now in a hurry to qualify, and the match against Iraq will be a do-or-die match. Do you say Argentina can win? Can Echeverri help the team with his goals?
