Qatar meets Argentina in round 3 of Copa America. The match will be played on Sunday, June 23d at Arena do Grêmio (Porto Alegre)
The hosts of the future World Cup definitely do not lose their face in this tournament! A 2-2 draw with Paraguayans, a loss of just 0-1 to the mighty Colombians, and the Colombian team shoved the only goal to the net of the Asians in the 86th minute. And Qatar itself even has chances for playoffs! The team can go further even from third place, and I will say more: even two points can be enough for Qatar to get to the quarterfinals. The difference of it scored and conceded foals is -1; the Argentines have a -2 fixture and the same one point after two rounds. So, the Asians have every reason to close all the locks and defend the starting 0-0 on the scoreboard! Will they succeed? Well, as the match with the Colombians showed, the team of Felix Bas has quite a good ability to fight off a strong attacking opponent. Yes, the Qatari lacked only five minutes to get a draw, but they maintained a very good game plan in general!

Argentina turns into a true FIFA clown! There are bags of pathos, but when it comes to the top tournament, Argentina turns into a circus on wheels, which travels around the cities and makes others laugh by their game. After last year’s shameful World Cup, the continuation followed on the Copa America. During the two rounds of the group stage, the Argentine star attack scored one goal, and that one from a penalty spot... Maybe some kind of curse... I don’t understand; the players, which perform in their club at the highest level, simply can’t degrade to such an extent when putting on a national team t-shirt. A 0-2 defeat to Colombians, a 1-1 draw with the Paraguayans. As a result, the last place in the standings after two rounds... The blessing for the Argentines is that the format of the tournament is such that not to progress from the group is more difficult than to do it. Although if the Argentines don’t win the upcoming match, and the Colombians don’t hammer the Paraguayans in a parallel game, the White-blues will remain in fourth place in the group... But the Argentines will probably manage to gain a victory as they often do at the last moment, but we shouldn’t wait for their overwhelming advantage.
I think that the most optimal bet for this match is a +2.5 handicap for Qatar! Does someone still believe that this Argentina is able to beat any team with a 3-0 score and a bigger one? Well, maybe only loyal fans of the national team can believe in this... And the rest have already perfectly understood what the modern Argentine national team represents! A bunch of star players, with a zero game in terms of the results…
Prediction for the match: Qatar to win with +2.5 handicap
