Rob Gilbert and Marcela Mora Y Araujo from Buenos Aires - doyenne of Argentine Football - discuss the Socceroos unlikely clash against La Albiceleste. 
Marcela reflects on the urgent master class Lionel Scaloni will have to undertake to prepare his squad, admitting after topping Group C with a convincing win over a lacklustre Poland, that he knew very little about the opposition while Marcela assures us that every Argentine football fan will be swatting up on the Aussies and will be experts by the time kick off comes around.

In her own inimitable style, Marcela reflects on football's place in the community, and her own potential feelings should Australia conquer this football Everest as a signal that the ultimate tides of football may be gradually shifting from the traditional football super powers - but not without an almighty fight!
