South America's Teams & Their Chances — with special guest Nathan Joyes of The Copa Club
Q: Nathan, final question regarding Ecuador. Do Kendry Páez and Nico Paz have a real chance to influence the tournament, and who might start for Argentina in the midfield or attack?
Páez is highly regarded and could feature if his development aligns with the World Cup needs, while Paz has had a standout season at club level and could be an important option in attack for Argentina; Argentina's depth means there are multiple players who can impact the final third, with Scoloni tailoring his lineup to balance experience and youth.
