World Cup 2022: Argentina against Australia in the live ticker today – confidence in the outsider
But the Australians are only too happy to prevent that.
The Socceroos surprisingly made it into the knockout stages, qualifying second behind France.
And thus sent Tunisia and Denmark home.
Before the duel with Argentina around superstar Lionel Messi, you are therefore self-confident and optimistic.
"Anything can happen," said coach Graham Arnold before the game.
It has nothing to do with disrespect for the Argentines.
“It's a battle of eleven yellow jerseys against eleven blue jerseys.
We'll do everything to win," said the 59-year-old.
"We can't just think about the opponent.
We respect him, but we also have to respect ourselves.”
Argentina fears for Ángel di María before the World Cup round of 16 against Australia
Argentina, meanwhile, remain concerned about the use of attacker Ángel di María, who is struggling with a thigh muscle strain.
"We hope he's fine and can play," said coach Lionel Scaloni.
His eleven would be the clear favorite even without di María.
Messi hopes for the big coup at this World Cup.
Midfielder Rodrigo de Paul warned his team-mates.
"We'll have the ball.
But we also have to think about defense when we're on the offensive," said the 28-year-old professional from Atlético Madrid.
Australia is a team with fast players on the wings.
"We have to be very careful," de Paul said.

Before the round of 16 there was an additional fuss about Messi: he received threats from a world boxing champion!
Canelo Álvarez has since apologized.
"In the last few days I have let myself be carried away by the passion and love for my country and have spoken inappropriately, for which I apologize to Messi and the Argentinian people," Álvarez recently wrote on Twitter.

The pugilist was recently annoyed by a scene from the Argentinian dressing room.
Messi touched a Mexican jersey lying on the ground with a shoe while taking it off.
However, a video from the dressing room clearly shows that Messi is not looking down at the moment.
Álvarez, however, accused Messi of disrespect for his country.
"May he pray to God he doesn't meet me," wrote the multiple champion, among other things, in a veritable Twitter tirade.
Whether Álvarez will have to watch the Argentines and Messi win any longer remains to be seen tonight.
