Argentina is one of the most successful national football teams in the world. The team has twice won the FIFA World Cup, in 1978 and 1986. The Albicelestes have won the Copa America 14 times, a record shared with Uruguay. They also won the Confederations Cup in 1992 and the Olympic Football Tournament in 2004 and 2008. Argentina and France are the only national teams which have won the three most important men’s titles recognized by FIFA: the World Cup, the Confederations Cup, and the Olympics football tournament.
Strengths
Argentina have small partnerships that can make a difference. The most important one is Veron with Messi. Also important is the job Di Maria and Gutierrez do, marking and attacking down the flanks. Finally we must mention the winning mentality of the Argentine players.
