A Possible Insight as To Why Argentina Struggled. Is it just the poor discipline or a poor choice of tactics?
Against very defensive teams which take away space Argentina in all due respect were not well matched in terms of their gameplan. The reluctance of Argentinian wingers to try and cross into the box rather than pass back and hover at the top of the box (you know where the sea of defending bodies are). They keep trying to penetrate the sea of defenders with passes which have a nigh impossible chance of going through. If Capo Verde had beaten Argentina, France would have had a much easier time penetrating Cabo Verdian defense as their left and right wingers are fearless and don’t mind the crossing gameplay to allow for 50/50 chances at scoring a cross in the box. This is just my opinion though.
