'Bring on Messi!' says Australia coach ahead of Tokyo Games
The Peninsula
Melbourne: Upbeat Australia coach Graham Arnold has urged Argentina to bring Lionel Messi to the Olympics and described their tough pool as Tokyo's "group of dreams".
Drawn with twice champions Argentina, 1992 winners Spain and Egypt, the 'Olyroos' face an uphill battle to reach the knockout rounds of the 16-team tournament, their first Games since Beijing in 2008. "Let's not write the 'group of death' anymore. It's a group of dreams," Arnold told reporters on Thursday.
