Argentina and Trinidad and Tobago are playing live on the World Cup friendly schedule on Wednesday and the matchup is streaming with a live stream from beIN Sport and comes from Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires starting at 6:30 pm ET and 11:30 pm local time as the team prepares for the World Cup and Lionel Messi will be the main focus for the Argentinian side as they get ready for the tournament.
Argentina comes in as one of the main group of favorites in the tournament, as they are listed as one of the teams with solid odds along with Germany and Brazil as well as defending champions Spain. Trinidad and Tobago comes in after being eliminated in CONCACAF qualifying and now Argentina looks to sharpen things up as they get ready to travel to Brazil and everyone on the team has high expectations after their qualifying and having Messi in the fold gives the team a huge advantage.
Argentina is almost guaranteed a place in the knockout stages and that is not something many other teams get the chance to say before the tournament. Argentina is not underestimating their group, but based on the opponents Messi and company should have no problems moving on. The team is in Group F and they have Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria to deal with and most predictions have the team moving on along with Nigeria. Alejandro Sabella said his team will not look down on their group and they will play hard and they could be one of the first teams to make it through to the knockout stages.
Argentina has been listed as one of the favorites for the tournament and that comes with defending champions Spain as well as Germany and Brazil the home nation. Brazil has a semi easy group with Cameroon, Croatia and Mexico and they open the tournament with Croatia on the first day. Germany has the group of death and while they are the favorite they may have a tough time getting out, as they have the United States, Portugal and Ghana in the group and all of those teams have the potential to make it out of the group stage.
The Argentina group is the eighth hardest ranked of the groups and with the deep roister for the team, there is a food chance they will dominate their round. The team lost to West Germany back in 1990 and now they are looking to get back to the finals or at least the semis, as they have not advanced that far in two decades and having Messi in the fold changes everything. Messi is healthy after missing a month earlier in the season, while his counterpart in Cristiano Ronaldo is coming in a bit banged up.
Trinidad is an easy team, but they have won six of the last seven matches in normal time and they will play against Argentina with all they have. Iran is on the schedule for the team as well and they play Group F on Saturday and now Argentina is putting the finishing touches on training as they get set to travel to Brazil for the start of the World Cup.
