Argentina's Hidden Danger — Physical Crisis After 120 Minutes of Battle



Argentina played a 120-minute match against Cape Verde in the Round of 16, barely winning 3-2. For an aging Argentine squad, this is a massive physical drain.

Although 39-year-old Messi is in hot form, after four consecutive high-intensity games plus 120 minutes of extra time, his recovery is a huge question mark. If Messi's physical condition falters, Argentina's offense will be severely compromised.

Another danger is Argentina's defense. Conceding two goals against Cape Verde shows the backline is not impenetrable. Egypt's counter-attacks are extremely fast, and the impact of Salah and Marmoush will directly test Argentina's aging defense.

But Argentina also has good news — after the match against Cape Verde, the team's mentality will be more stable. The defending champions know there are no easy opponents in the World Cup, and this vigilance might make them more focused when facing Egypt.
