The men’s soccer tournament resumes on Tuesday at the Paris Olympics, and it’s a moment for many of the 16 groups involved.
We have already reached the third day in France, so in the end we will know which 8 groups have qualified for the quarterfinals. Spain and Japan have already reached the circular of 16 and six more will sign up for them on Tuesday.
It’s a busy day of action with 8 games between 2 p. m. and 6 p. m.
Mascherano won the Olympics as a player and now hopes to do so as a coach, but Argentina can’t think too much about the future at this level of the procedure.
The four of his organization are tied on three issues heading into Tuesday’s matches, so this is a winner-takes-all match. Ukraine lost 2-1 to Iraq in their first outing, before rallying to beat Morocco by the same scoreline.
The senior team showed at the 2022 World Cup that a defeat on the first day is not fatal and Mascherano’s team is expected to qualify for the quarterfinals by beating Ukraine.
Argentina has a lot and, the truth is, they were unlucky to lose to Morocco in a chaotic clash in Saint-Etienne.
According to the evidence observed so far, Argentina is the most powerful team in Group B. Help them win this match and qualify as the winner of the organization.
France has six points but is still mathematically qualified for the quarterfinals. A heavy loss to New Zealand on Tuesday, as well as a win through the United States against Guinea, could result in the hosts’ elimination.
The goal difference, rather than the head-to-head, is the first tiebreaker in the Olympic Games; it would take a remarkable turn of events for France to be eliminated before the quarter-finals.
Les Bleus did not convince much in this game and the coach’s tactical sense was questioned.
However, the French national team is full of quality, with Michael Olise, Alex Lacazette and Jean-Philippe Mateta all three remaining players. Indeed, it is hard to believe how New Zealand will manage to keep France out of this ordeal. .
The All Whites still have a chance of qualifying for the next round, but their flaws were exposed in the 4-1 loss to the United States last time out. France are expected to win their final hosting match as they aim for gold on home soil.
It’s fair to say that those two warring sides haven’t put La Roja to the toughest of tests, but you can beat what’s in front of you and Spain has done so so far.
After winning the Senior European Championship, the Olympic gold medal would be another explanation to celebrate Spanish football this summer. At the moment, the team is in first position in its group, something it would achieve by avoiding defeat against Egypt.
A draw would also be good for the North Africans. With 4 problems to their name, one more would allow Egypt to qualify for the next phase of the competition. Goals have been few in their matches, so Array drew 0-0 against the Dominican Republic. Republic before a 1-0 defeat against Uzbekistan.
With neither team needing a win and Egypt content to play pragmatic football, it may be a low-scoring affair. Don’t be surprised to see a 0-0 or 1-1 draw mutually in favor of this match.
