Here is the FIFA World Cup 2022 group C schedule and the official Argentina national football team lineup. The Argentina national squad will be on board for Lionel Messi’s mission at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Since taking over in 2018, Scaloni has skillfully shaped this team, and the result of his labour was the 2021 Copa America victory in Brazil, which gave Messi his first trophy with the senior national team and finally exonerated him of the criticism that had followed him on all of his international trips for his nation.

Argentina winning the World Cup in December is a very likely scenario given manager Lionel Scaloni’s track record of success: a 35-match unbeaten streak that is just three short of the world record. Brazil and France are the two favourites named by bookmakers and fans leading up to the event.
