Will Argentina Defend Their World Cup Title in 2026?
빠른 답변
Argentina has approximately a 10% chance of defending their 2022 World Cup title, placing them third in the betting behind France and Brazil. The key question is the post-Messi transition: if Lionel Messi retires before or during the tournament, Argentina loses their greatest-ever player but may also be freed from tactical dependence on him. The squad has quality — Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister — but lacks the depth of France or Brazil.

Squad Depth Concerns
부정적mediumCompared to France's two-deep-in-every-position squad, Argentina's bench is thinner. The expanded 48-team format demands more rotation, which favors deeper squads. Argentina relies heavily on their starting XI.
