2026 World Cup: Ian Wright reveals why Argentina won’t win trophy
Former Arsenal striker, Ian Wright, has expressed his doubts over Argentina defending their World Cup trophy this year.
Wright was reacting to Albiceleste’s hard fought 3-2 win over Cape Verde in the Round of 32.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring in Miami, before Deroy Durate levelled to send the game to extra time.
Lisandro Martinez fired Argentina back in front before Sidny Cabral curled home a stunning effort.
But the champions scored again in the 111st minute to progress into last 16.
Wright said on ITV: “They are there to be beaten. If you can give the same kind of endeavour we saw Cape Verde give, but you have more quality in the final third, then Argentina are there to be beaten.
“I think in the wide areas they are very weak. You can get at them in those areas.”
