Saudi Arabia - Argentina

International Friendly

Some rest today, for the national teams, as they take on some friendly matches, probably with the objective of finishing the year with high spirits. So without anything at stake, all teams should play relaxed without any pressure. Argentina will test some players, but we still have a solid basis in the team: up-front, we'll see Aguero and Messi, so that should be enough to scare any opponents (especially since Messi started to perform with the national team). And they shouldn't be isolated there either, as on the wings we'll see Di Maria and Salvio. The defensive line might look a bit weak, but since they're playing against Saudi Arabia (who lost 0-5 against Spain, and also lost against Gabon, Libya and Irak), I wouldn't worry too much. Frank Rijkaard is their coach, so that's a plus, but it really doesn't matter who the coach is... they simply lack enough quality to be competitive on the field. Argentina looks in good shape, and will field a good team, so they shouldn't have any difficulties in putting a few goals past Saudi Arabia. GL!

Argentina (-2 AH) @ 1.89, 2/10
Result: 0-0, LOST
