All of a sudden, Russia 2018 isn’t a guarantee for Argentina.
The Albiceleste have managed just two points in the opening three CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers. They currently sit ninth in the table, only ahead of a winless Venezuela. Colombia have fared slightly better, entering Matchday 4 with four points. As it stands, only a minus-one goal differential is keeping the Cafeteros from World Cup 2018.

There are reportedly problems inside Argentina's dressing room. Mascherano doesn't talk to Tata Martino. NT evidently crumbling under Tata.
