Looks like a good game, love the IC jerseys. Argentina up 1-0 with a crespo goal.
There's an Argentine player that is in offside position, but I believe that the "Rabbit" Saviola was not offsideThe second goal seemed to be way offside
The first meeting between Argentina and Ivory Coast was in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where Argentina won 2-1. They have also faced each other in friendly matches and the Olympic Games.
As of 2021, Argentina is ranked 8th in the FIFA World Rankings, while Ivory Coast is ranked 59th. However, rankings can change over time.
For Argentina, players like Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero are considered key players, while for Ivory Coast, Wilfried Zaha and Nicolas Pepe are important players to watch.
Argentina has had a relatively successful record in recent years, reaching the finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and winning the 2021 Copa America. Ivory Coast has also had some successes, winning the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations and qualifying for the World Cup in 2006, 2010, and 2014.
It is difficult to predict the outcome of any football match, but based on their previous performances and current standings, Argentina may have an advantage. However, Ivory Coast is known to be a strong and competitive team, so it could be a close and exciting game.
