Coach - Jorge Sampaoli: With Jorge Sampaoli (pictured, below) in charge, they have a manager with international experience after he led Chile at the 2014 World Cup before guiding them to the Copa America title in 2015.
The 58-year-old Argentine will be hoping to get the best out of his squad, which has some incredibly talented attackers among its ranks.
Legend - Diego Maradona: A close one, but we are writing about the other guy for the next section and Maradona definitely deserves his inclusion. Some believe he edges Lionel Messi as an Argentinian great as he has a World Cup triumph to his name.
He was also hugely decorated at club level and is an all-time great with the likes of Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli and Sevilla on his CV as a player. He scored 34 goals in 90 appearances for his country, 25 in 26 for Barca and 114 in 253 for Italian giants Napoli.
Star Man - Lionel Messi: Messi may seem like the easy option, but he is genuinely the one you want to watch with interest.
He turns 31 during the tournament and Argentina are running out of time to win the competition with one of the game’s all-time greats. A World Cup winners’ medal is the noticeable absentee from his incredible trophy haul, with some suggesting a lack of success on the international stage could tarnish his legacy.
Having played in the first team at Barcelona for 14 years, Messi’s game is managed more consciously now, but he still continues to amaze and goes into this summer’s tournament on the back of another incredible goalscoring season for his club.
Despite criticism that his club performances have not been matched on the international stage, Argentina struggle without Messi and he is still their all-time top scorer with 61 goals in 123 appearances.
He should captain the White and Sky Blues in Russia, hoping for success after coming so close in 2014.
