''Argentina gripped by fear as superstars fall short''

'It can't happen can it? The idea of a World Cup without Argentina is so preposterous as to be unthinkable. ..... Were they to remain as they are, marooned from automatic qualification in 5th place, they would go through the ignominy of a play-off against New Zealand. And given the international form of Burnley's Chris Wood - who scored a hat-trick in his last outing for the Kiwis - nothing is guaranteed....' etc.

Jim White writing in today's Daily Telegraph. Not often Kiwi football gets a mention in the British press.

As he says, nothing is guaranteed. I'm picking Moses Dyer to score the winner that gets us there, lol.
