- When Argentina play at the women’s World Cup in France next month they will cap one of the most remarkable journeys in sport, from a team that did not exist two years ago to one competing on the biggest stage.
After rushing to throw together a team just days ahead of the World Cup qualifiers, they squeaked into the tournament via a playoff and that, said defender Agustina Barroso, is already a victory. Argentina kick off their World Cup campaign against Japan on June 10, before facing England and Scotland. “I wouldn’t call it a disadvantage because that would make us out to be victims but we really needed more tournaments and competitive games, as well as more friendlies,” she said.
The lack of a professional league – the AFA announced a full-time set up will begin in June – is another problem.
