00:00Jordan versus Argentina, what are you expecting from this game to rest some players and just manage the game?
00:08We've seen them do that very effectively in these two games.
00:11They have not been, they don't have to be the attacking team.
00:15They don't have to be the team that takes control of the narrative.
00:18They just absorb and contain.
00:19And when they have the opportunity, they put the ball at Messi's feet.
00:23He does the rest.
00:25Do we rest Messi and manage his minutes or we let him just continue to get match fit?
00:30I mean, I don't know.
00:31I feel like he wants to get match fit and he also wants to break more records.
00:35So I think Messi might play, but then the rest of the team is going to be filled in with
00:40those players that are still making their starting 11 spot.
00:44I feel like we might see more games.
00:47I think we might see some gameplay from Senesi, Juliana Ćlvarez,
00:51because Lautaro just has not been working out so far.
00:55I mean,
00:55Do you see a lineup with Messi and Juliana?
01:00Which, you know, normally they will play, he'll be the sub for Messi.
01:05But do you see them play in two positions very similar to each other?
01:08Yeah, I think so.
01:10This last game against Austria, they were playing with a two up front with Lautaro and Messi.
01:15So I think that again and have it be Julian, Messi, and then on the wings,
01:22I feel like they could end up playing with Simeone this time.
01:25Okay.
01:25And yeah, I mean, Barco in the midfield for sure.
01:30Paredes finally gets some game time.
01:33So I think this game is going to be the one where they're playing with their B team,
01:38but they're playing with players that, you know.
01:41Now, let's look at the standings right now.
01:44Argentina is in first place of Group J with six points.
01:47Austria has three, Algeria three, and Jordan zero.
01:51It's very unlikely that Jordan is going to put any opposition to Argentina.
01:55So Austria versus Algeria,
01:57who do you think is going to join Argentina coming in second place
02:00and advancing without the whole algorithm dance?
02:03Austria.
02:04Austria.
02:04I think Austria.
02:05When you have defenders like David Alaba,
02:10when you have players like Laimer,
02:11when you have the strikers from Inter Milan,
02:16Antronovic,
02:17I mean, this team is very solid and very underrated in my opinion.
02:21That's why when people were saying like,
02:23oh, Argentina's got an easy group.
02:25Honestly, not so much
02:27because Austria and Algeria have hidden gems.
02:31They do, Algeria,
02:33especially as we saw the tournament progress,
02:36the goalkeeper, Zidane,
02:38highly criticized,
02:40a lot of viral videos of him kind of fumbling the warm-up.
02:43Not a good performance in the first game,
02:44a much better one on the second one.
02:46Do you feel like he might be the key figure for Algeria to have
02:50and keep that goal differential, right?
02:53Yeah.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Come back from it.
