Argentina are overwhelming favourites to win the match at Soccer City after winning all three of their Group B matches, while Mexico only progressed from Group A on goal difference.

However, Torrado believes it would be wrong for Lionel Messi and co to underestimate El Tricolor.

He told La Cronica: "Mexico is also a strong rival for any team. If you look at the work this team does and how we match up man to man, we have proved we are a difficult team to beat that has earned the respect of its rivals.

"Obviously you have to translate it onto the field, but I think we can make a valid argument to say we can win this game."
