Although the AFC Asian Cup begins this weekend when the Socceroos face Oman in Bangkok, our post-tournament opponents Argentina are also busy, currently locked in competition in the Copa America which is being held in Venezuela. The Argentineans, who are currently ranked 5th on the FIFA World Rankings, topped Group C of the competition after winning all their group matches to set up a quarter finals clash with Peru. The "Albicelestes" (that's the Argentineans nickname) will be aiming for a record 15th Copa if they are successful in this tournament.
