Who are Argentina’s possible rivals for the round of 16 of the U20 World Cup?

For the second date of group A, the Argentina Sub 20 team beat Guatemala 3-0 and qualified for the round of 16 world youth that develops in our country.

In this way, what remains to be defined is the position in which it will finish in group A: currently is the leader, with six pointsbut a loss to New Zealand (4) would leave them in second place.

If the selected one who grants Javier Mascherano finish in first place will be measured against the third of Group C (Senegal, Japan, Israel and Colombia), D. (Italy, Brazil, Nigeria and the Dominican Republic) oE (Uruguay, Iraq, England and Tunisia). If it ends in the second, it will go before the second of C.

In that sense, if he ends up being the leader of his area, he would play momentarily against Israel, Brazil or Tunisia. The three selected did not add points in the World Cup after losing their matches corresponding to the first day.

Failing that, if he ends up as an escort, he would face Japan, who beat Senegal 1-0 in his debut. Niko Takahashi, who could be selected by Argentina in the future due to his roots, plays in the Japanese cast.

When will the Argentina Under 20 team play again?

The next match of the national team will be this Friday, May 26 at 6:00 p.m., in San Juan, against New Zealand for the third and last date of the group stage.
