The definition of the eighth-round opponent

The Under-20 World Cup does not stop. After the four matches of the group stage that were played on Saturday, this Sunday will be played the last four that will determine the final positions in the knockout stages of the contest, where Argentina has already guaranteed its place as first of Group A, waiting for the confirmation of its rival.

It is that Argentina must face in the eighth round a third that could be Nigeria or Japan, a variable that will be known once the day of this Sunday that will have the matches Iraq vs England and Tunisia vs Uruguay for Group E, and Honduras vs France and South Korea vs Gambia for F.

To pass the eighth, the Argentina of Luka Romero would play the quarterfinals on Sunday, June 4 at 14:30 p.m. in the city of Santiago del Estero against an opponent that will come out of the winner in the eighths between Ecuador and the second of Group F, which will be between Gambia, South Korea and Honduras.

In train of assumptions, if Argentina manages to access the semifinals, that match will be played on Thursday, June 8 at 18 pm at the La Plata stadium, in which it would be the first time of those led by Javier Mascherano in that venue.

Can you get an idea of who the rival might be in that instance? Yes, right. And also who can no longer be. On that side of the table are confirmed as possible contenders Colombia and Italy, as well as the leader of Group E (most likely England) and a third of Group A, B or F (New Zealand, Slovakia, Honduras?).

In the same way, and always remarking that everything is in a train of speculations, Argentina already knows that there are teams with which it would not cross until the final, scheduled for Sunday, June 11 at 18 pm at the La Plata stadium.

Brazil, the United States, Uzbekistan, Israel run on the other side of the table, and to them four will be added as many that will be determined this Sunday, for example who is leader of Group F, today privilege of Gambia, or the second of Group E, today in the hands of Uruguay, in addition to two teams that will arrive as third.
