Ian Wright: Argentina Are ‘There to Be Beaten’ After Cape Verde Thriller

Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright cast doubt on Argentina’s World Cup defence after their 3-2 extra-time win over Cape Verde in Miami. Lionel Messi opened the scoring, but Cape Verde hit back twice through Deroy Duarte and Sidny Cabral. Argentina only sealed victory with a late goal in the 111th minute. Speaking on ITV, Wright argued the champions looked vulnerable in wide areas. He warned any team matching Cape Verde’s intensity and adding more quality up front could topple the title holders. Wright believes opponents will study Cape Verde’s performance as a blueprint for troubling Lionel Scaloni’s side in the knockout stages.
