With their 3-0 win against Poland, Argentina confirmed their place in the knockout round of the World Cup however it wasn't all smooth sailing.
Argentina started their campaign with a shocking 2-1 loss against Saudi Arabia. Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a penalty before Saudi Arabia scored a quickfire double in the second half to upset one of the favourites for the competition.
However, in that first match and also in the two games since then against Mexico and Poland one thing has been incredibly clear. Argentina are defensively solid and also have a number of talented players on the ball, but what they are missing is someone with a burst of pace.
