It did not arrive to the extreme of the defeat against Colombia, but the tie against Paraguay was not a relief for Argentina. The selection does not work and saved of a greater problem in the Stadium Mineirao thanks to a penalti annotated by Leo Messi and another arrested person by Franco Armani. His interventions hardly suppose a brief break, because the continuity in the Glass America complicates .
After the clash in Belo Horizonte, the men of Lionel Scaloni keep like colistas of the GroupB . The two victories 'cafeteras' have ensured his first position with six points and the second is for the guaraníes, that have two points. The third qualifier, for the moment, is the invited Qatar, with a point and better difference of goals.
To be in quarter-finals, the 'albiceleste' will have to win and expect. To start with, expect to that the pupilos of Eduardo Berizzo do not surpass to the ones of Carlos Queiroz, that do not play at all and could reserve for the eliminatory. A triumph of the 'albirroja' would move them away irremediablemente of the second square, and would leave them in the lottery that supposes the third.
Obviously, a tie or a defeat would suppose the elimination, because they would give wings to the group emiratí, that knew to tie up an equalised in the first day and survived losing by the minimum in the second. With this already gave him to plant by in front of the ones of Leo Messi and company. The same that the rest, all they by in front.
If Paraguay empata or loses and Argentina wins, will attain the second place. But if it touches him struggle between the third, no only will have to ensure that it is one of the two better -of three possible aspiring-, but then it will have guaranteeed a crossing against one of the favourites of the tournament, the first of the groups To and C, for the moment selections like Brazil, Uruguay or Chile.
Messi with contemplates the elimination of Argentina
As it already did weeks backwards, Leo Messi went back to separate to Argentina of the favourites to the title, but closed the door to a possible elimination. "We knew that it was not easy to come to play a Glass America, were in the research of a team, of an operation. Venezuela complicated him to Brazil, today does not win more with the T-shirt and it is necessary to do the things very well to achieve the three points. It would be a madness not happening. Now it touches to think in winning him to Qatar to classify", valued in front of the media.
