Argentina are in Group J with Algeria, Austria, Jordan. Head coach: Lionel Scaloni. Captain: Lionel Messi. Below: full squad spotlight, fixture-by-fixture US broadcast info, and what to expect.
Architect of the 2022 World Cup win and 2024 Copa América title. 47 years old. Perfectly balances Messi's role with a young, athletic core.
Defending champions. Messi's farewell tournament at 38. Scaloni's system is the best in football. Group J is generous. The narrative writes itself — but back-to-back is historically rare.
Ceiling: Back-to-back champions — only Italy (1934/38) and Brazil (1958/62) have done it
