Roncero made no secret of his confidence in the Spanish team, questioning Argentina’s status as favorites. “Argentina already said they won their World Cup by beating England. Let’s see them on Sunday”, he challenged.

Argentina, with its unbeaten streak and recent win over England, aims to cement its dominance in the tournament. However, Roncero’s comments add a psychological element to the match. “Spain will put them in their place. They don’t know us yet”, he concluded. ## What’s next for Argentina? Argentina’s next match is the final against Spain on July 19, 2026. With their flawless form and extra motivation from Roncero’s words, the Albiceleste will aim to claim the title.
