Preview of Argentina vs Jamaica match:
Argentina is one of the nations currently playing the best soccer leading up to the World Cup. They won their match against Honduras in Miami on Friday by a score of 3-0, giving it their sixth victory in their last seven games.
The score was finally broken in the 16th minute by Lautaro Martinez, who played for the winning team, But Lionel Messi’s penalty kick in the final seconds of the first half effectively put an end to the game as a competition.
The Paris Saint-Germain player, hoping to follow in Diego Maradona’s footsteps by captaining La Albiceleste to their first World Cup victory since 1986, continued his flourishing form by scoring a delightful chip in the 69th minute. He hopes to follow in Diego Maradona’s footsteps by captaining La Albiceleste to their first World Cup victory since 1986.
Even though Lionel Scaloni’s team has an unscheduled friendly against the United Arab Emirates before their opening game against Saudi Arabia in Qatar, the 44-year-old coach will be encouraging his players to continue their winning streak in what will be their last game for over two months.
On the other hand, Jamaica has only ever qualified for the World Cup once in their whole existence, which was back in 1998 when they finished third in Group H.
Since being named Jamaica’s new manager less than two weeks ago, Heimir Hallgrimsson, who formerly served as the manager of Iceland, has been responsible for bringing an end to that winless streak.
The 55-year-old manager has a track record after leading his home nation to the quarterfinals at Euro 2016. Still, Iceland was eliminated in the group stage at the most recent World Cup in Russia, Iceland’s first-ever appearance in the championship.
Therefore, Hallgrimsson hopes to impact his first game in charge on Tuesday immediately. Still, he will also be acutely aware that he has been handed one of the biggest possible challenges on the international stage in the form of playing Argentina. Hallgrimsson’s first game in charge will take place on Tuesday.
