Argentina national team, together with the France team, are the only teams that won all international tournamentsconducted under the auspices of FIFA. In addition to numerous victories within the framework of the America's Cup and World Championships, the Argentines took gold medals in the 1992 Cup draw raffle, and also won the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. In the asset of "white-blue" 6 victories in Pan American Games and one Cup of Nations. Argentina's youth team is recognized as one of the most talented, she won the world championship for up to 20 years in 2000, as well as twice was the triumphant of the famous tournament in Toulon.
Argentina team in America's Cups
At its first Cup of America, the Argentines ranked second in the group, giving the title Uruguay. The first champion title was taken only in 1921, when "Albiselesta" beat all participants in the tournament (Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay) and confidently ranked first, without missing a single ball. In 1925, the Argentines again became triumphs of the America's homemade Cup, producing 3 victories out of 4. From 1930 to the 1960th, Argentina national team was the main favorite of this championship. "White-blue" won 9 champion titles during this period and 4 times reached the final.
After changing the format of the tournament in 1975, the Argentines for four drawrs could not pass on the group stage. Only in 1989, the efforts of Diego Maradona "Albiselest" took the third place, and after two years he returned the champion title after a 30-year break. In 1993, Argentina again became a champion, at the same time, only 2 victories. In the final, Mexico was beograde - the invited newcomer of the America's Cup. In 2004 and 2007, the Argentines reached the final, but both were played Brazil. For the 100-year history of the America's Cup, Argentines participated in 38 draws, 14 times took the title, won 112 matches and lost only 30.
Argentina national team at world championships
By the time of the first in the history of the 1930 World Championship, the Argentines had already had a solid experience of performances on international arena And rightly considered the favorites of that tournament. As part of the group stage, the Argentine team minimally defeated France, then defeated Chile and Mexico, taking first place in the group A. In the white-blue semifinals, they did not leave the chances of the US national team (6-1), and the chief scorer of the Guillermo Tournament was stabilized. In a decisive meeting against Uruguay, Argentines were played twice, however, they lost to the score of 4-2.
After that, the "white-blue" was missing for almost 30 years from the intercontinental Arena: they played only one game at the next world championship held in Italy, and also refused to go to France against the background of the global conflict. The next time the Argentines played at the World Championships only in 1958, but could not even leave the group, graduating from the 13th place. As soon as unsuccessfully passed the following draws of the world trophy, until 1978, the Argentines managed only once again enter the playoffs of the final stages, and 1970 was not at all qualifications.
Everything has changed in the late 70s, when the country gathered an experienced team, Valencia's driven by Mario Kepes, and won the gold medals of homemade Mundial. On the way to Final, the Argentines missed only three times, and in the decisive match they were confidently shared with the Netherlands national team (3-1). After eight years, the "white-blue" repeated their achievements, the national team FRG at the stadium "Aztek". The main acting person in that team was Diego Maradona, who issued a double in the quarterfinal match against the British, who scored his famous centenary goal and demonstrated God's hand.
After four years, the Argentines could take the third time of the gold medals of the championship, but lost in the FRG finals (0-1). It is noteworthy that the "white-blue" reached the final, having won 2 victories in the main time and twice winning the penalty shootout. In the 2000s, many stars of the world magnitude appeared in the Argentina national team: Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Iguaine. Despite this, "white-blue" for four tournaments could not go further than the quarterfinal. Finally, in 2014, Argentina, Odolev Iran, Nigeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, reached the final, where Germany lost to the minimum score.
Colors of the Argentina national team
The form of the Argentine national team, as a rule, includes the colors of the national flag of this country. White and light blue vertical stripes - a mandatory attribute of home Argentine form since 1911. On the departure, the team plays in dark blue tones, and color shorts and socks are changing almost every season.
Home Stadium of Argentina
"White-blue" play at the largest stadium in Argentina, "Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespecio Liberty", which is also a home shaler for the River Plate Club. The stadium accommodates 66,449 people and was officially opened on May 25, 1938 in the presence of 120,000 spectators. In 1958, River Chalit sold Omar Sivori to Juventus and the money was upgraded by home arena.
The Monumental Championship of 1978 "Monumental" was reconstructed at the expense of the state budget, and its capacity reached 85,000 spectators. After the end of the world championship, the stadium was upgraded for the fourth time, and its capacity was reduced to 66,645 viewers. Since then, "Estadio Monumental" takes most of the home matches of the Argentina national team, and the Libertadores Cup finals and the America Cup took a long time.

The first Match of the Argentine team held in 1901 or 1902, the accurate information was not preserved. It is reliably known that the opponent was the Uruguay team, and the fact that the Argentians won. As for the account, here the football statistics are called different options - from 3: 2 to 6: 0.
Argentina national team at world championships
At the first championship of the world, held in Uruguay, the Argentines immediately reached the final, where they gave way to the team of the owners 2: 4.
That match was remembered by the fact that the teams played two balls - the first time of Argentinean, the second - Uruguayan. FIFA has taken such a decision, since both teams presented their ball and could not come to agreement - everyone wanted to play their ball.
What is interesting, the teams argued not in vain. The first half remained for Argentina 2: 1, the second performed won Uruguay 3: 0.
At the next Mundial, held in the Olympic system, the Argentine team was already in the first round lost to the Sweden team 2: 3. This match was the beginning of the long failure "Albiselests" at the World Championships.
In tournaments 1938, 1950 and 1984, Argentina refused to participate, at the Championships 1958 and 1962 could not even get out of the group.
Only in 1966 the national team of Argentina, the beat of Spain and Switzerland and playing a draw with the FRG team, was finally able to overcome the group round. In the quarterfinals they were waiting for the team of the hosts - the national team of England. That match was remembered by the scandalous refereeing of the West German Arbiter Rudolf Krattylin, even in the first half, it is not clear for what the Argentine Captain Antonio Rattina has been unclear.
Insulted in the best feelings Rattin wiped his hands on the corner flag, on which the British flag was depicted. The Argentine Match lost, but still call him a "robbery of the century" and that meeting was the beginning of the Anglo-Argentinean.
World Championship of 1970 Argentina missed, sensationally losing in selection group Bolivia and Peru. Looking ahead, I will say that it was the last Mundala, who has passed without "albiselesty."
The next tournament also did not bring the glory of the Argentine team. With difficulty, only due to the best difference of scored and missed balls, they were ahead of the team of Italy in the group, and in the second group round there were just one point.
Argentina national team - World Champion of 1978
As you can see, the Argentina national team has approached his first homemade Mundala, the predetermined history of speeches on world championships.
And, nevertheless, the country only waited for victories. And what about otherwise, because football in Argentina has long been religion.
At the first stage, the Argentines struggled to defeated Hungary and France with the same score 2: 1, after which they lost 0: 1 of the Italy team. And in the second stage, Mario Kemes said his weightless word.
He was the only legionnaire as part of the Argentina national team (spoke in Spain for Valencia) and initially he had great hopes for him. But Kemes in three matches could not score not a single goal.
In spite of this main coach The Sears of Luis Menotti continued to put forward in the composition and did not lose. For two goals, Cepes scored the Polish team (2: 0) and Peru (6: 0). Between these matches was a zero draw with the team of Brazil, but Argentina reached the final on the difference of scored and missed balls.
That victory over Peru caused many questions. The match began after Brazil played his meeting, at the gate of the prefab in Peru stood an Argentine for the origin of Ramon Kirog. Yes, and the game of Peruvians, before that I missed six goals in five matches, called questions.
All this is true. But the fact is that Argentina is not the first and not the last national team that used and will use certain privileges as the world championship hostess. So it was, unfortunately, it will be. Yes, what to go far, it is enough to remember the match of the last World Championship Brazil - Croatia and Penalti, appointed in favor of the hosts of the tournament.
And in the final of Argentina already without any questions with additional time Religrated the team of Holland 3: 1. Again, Dubl made Kempes, who scored the first and second goal of his team. He became best scorer and championship player.
The era of Diego Maradona
At the 1982 World Cup, the Argentineans went with their new star -. Four years ago, Menotti did not include him in the application, now a 21-year-old football player was the leader of the national team.
Starting from an unexpected defeat from Belgium 0: 1, the Argentines defeated Hungary 4: 1 and confidently beat Salvador 2: 0. But in the second group round they lost both matches - Italy and Brazil.
But the next championship became the championship Maradona. The Argentines, who headed Carlos Bilardo, confidently won their group, in 1 \\ 8 finals defeated the eternal rivals of Uruguaysev 1: 0, and then beat England's prefabricated (2: 1) and Belgium (2: 0). In the last two matches, Argentina scored only Maradona.
The match with the British turned out to be scandalous. Recently, the countries were in a state of war due to the Falkland Islands, and this topic was revealed before the match. And in the game itself judge Brigade Mardon's hand blocked, which he scored the first goal.
True, after four minutes, Diego created his famous masterpiece, making a raid from his half of the field and beat six English.
In the final Maradona did not score, but his partners were distinguished - Brown, Waldano, Bururchaga. 3: 2 victory over the FRG team.
In the final of the Italian World Cup again met these teams. But what kind of vague looked like Argentina! Having selected from the group from the third place, the Argentines immediately hit the Brazil team. Choosing the whole match, the team counted on the genius of their leader. And he did not let down - at the 81st minute Maradona made his corporate passage and led one on one with a goalkeeper. Forward did not spoke.
The following rivals - Yugoslavia and Italy were passed only by penalty. How not to remember the promscar "There would be no happiness, but misfortune helped." Golkover Sergio Goyyukochea reflected four penalty in these series.
But he came to the championship by the second number, taking a place at the gate only after the injury to Neri Pumpido, obtained in the second round match against the USSR national team.
In the finals against the Germans, Argentina had one chance - to reach a series of penalty. But five minutes before the end of the match Andreas Brema, realizing the penalty, brought victory to the national team.
As for the penalty, there were a lot of disputes about the validity of the destination. Yes, the penalty was pretty doubtful. But the fact is that a little earlier Goyyukochea dummy in the penalty area of \u200b\u200bthe Agentaller, but the arbitrator was silent. Apparently, Mexican Edgardo Mendez understood his mistake and decided to fix it in such a peculiar way.
"Albiselest" was a completely different team. It appeared such forwards as Gabriel Batitutu and Abel Balbo. In the ranks were the hero of the past tournament Claudio Kanija, and, of course, Diego Maradona.
After the first two rounds (4: 0 with Greece and 2: 1 with Nigeria), Argentina became the most productive and bright team, instantly turning into the main challenger on the title.
What happened later, everyone knows - a positive doping test of Maradona and the disqualification that followed him. Left without his leader, the Argentines lost to Bulgaria and Romania and went home.
In the subsequent Argentina was constantly among the favorites of the world championship and constantly did not take something.
In 1998, they dropped out in the quarterfinals when Denis Bergkamp on latest Minute scored a completely crazy goal. By the way, in the 1/8 finals of Argentina again searched with England, and that match was remembered by the provocation of Diego Simeon, who ended with the removal of David Beckham.
Yes, on that championship Argentina won Jamaica 5: 0, inspiring the Teiff group to create his musical masterpiece.
Argentina brought perhaps the best national team in its history. At least the best of those that I have seen. Ayala, Pissaletino, Samuel, Sanneti, Sirin, Almeida, Veron, Simeon, Aimar, Claudio Lopez, Batistuta, Ortega, Crespo, Ana.
This is not a team, it's a dream. No one weak place, the presence in each line is at least two stars of world-class, before the long spare bench. Along with France, Argentina was the main favorite of the championship.
But, Ironically, this national team did not even come out of the group. After the victory over Nigeria 1: 0, the revenge of the Argentineans took the British and personally David Beckham, with a penalty scored the only goal in the match. BUT the last meeting "Albiselest" could not get the necessary victory in the match with Sweden - 1: 1.
Not many weaker Argentines appeared four years later with Germany, besides, the 18-year-old Wunderkind named Lionel Messi appeared in their composition. This time, the Argentians were not lucky in a series of penalty against the owners of the championship in the match ¼ final - Roberto Ayala and Esteban Cambianss could not use their attempts.
True, everything could have ended much earlier, when in extra time, but the whistle arbitrate was silent. This I come back to the question of some advantage that the Mundalay owners always use.
Also on that championship, the Argentineans were remembered by a goal of Serbia and Montenegro (6: 0), which was preceded by a combination of 23 (!) Accurate gears, whose crown was the crown of the Respeno on Cambiansso.
In 2010, Argentina's national team remedy in South Africa in the quarterfinals of the German national team, this time with a humiliating score of 0: 4. He headed by the team of Diego Maradona decided to play with the Germans in open football, put five attacking players and was indicative of the bit. However, Maradona could have been different, could not step on his own song.
Argentina national team at the 2014 World Cup
Almost a quarter of a century, Argentina again reached the final of the world championship. This time the team was not listed among the main favorites of the championship. The reason for this was the lack of a sufficient number of high-class defense players.
But the head coach of Alejandro Sabella managed to make a defense from what was. In the Matches of Playoffs, Argentina missed only one goal, and that in extra time final match From the Germans (again they!). 
The trouble burst on the other hand - a magnificent attack in the face of Di Mary, Iguaine, Messi, Palacio, Lavessi, Aguero in the same four matches averaged two goals - to the Gate of Switzerland and Belgium. The Dutch passed only in the penalty series, and the German national team again lost.
Reggerer did not cope with the role of the leader of the Lionel Messi team, all his goals scoring at the Gate stage in the gate of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria.
Argentina national team at championships (Cups) of South America
According to the number of continental titles (14), the Argentina team is inferior only by Uruguay, who has more "gold". Everything is good if it were not for one big and greasy but. The last victory of the Argentine team on Copa America dated 1993, when the Mexico national team was originated in the final of the tournament.
But everything began so well. From 1916 to 1967, 26 tournaments were held and only one (!!!) times Argentina did not get into the winners (1922), having won 12 continental championships during this time.
Now compare it with another number of numbers - 15 tournaments (from 1975 to the present), 2 victories and 5 prizes.
If someone drew attention to the 8-flight gap (1967-1975), I explain that this is not an error, just during this period the South America championship did not play.
A B. last years "Albiselestitu" pursues some evil rock - she reached four times in five times before the final and lost everything, and three - in the series of post-match dealership.
The last two defeats from the Chile team are still in memory, including due to the sensational statement of Messi and the cessation of speeches for the national team.
By the way, on the last Kopa of America Lionel Messi, scoring a goal to the US Gate, went around Gabriel Batitutu, and is now the best scorer of the Argentina national team.

The Argentine specialist received the greatest fame to work with the Chile team, with whom Won America's Copier - 2015, in the final Beating of his countrymen.
The emblem of the Argentina national team
Present
As I said, the current national team of Argentina has a shortage of qualified defensive plan players. The main goalkeeper of Argentina, Sergio Romero, comes to the team from the bench "Manchester United".
From the defenders, only Pablo Sablet can be without any tensioners to attribute to world-class players. But he is already 33 years old to Russian Mundala, he will be 33 years old. And the only truly class Argentine flavor Javier Masserolyo will be 34.
In the attack, much depend on how serious a Messi's statement about the completion of a career in the national team. I think, nevertheless he returns to the team, because the world championship in Russia will be his last chance to enter the story as a truly great player. However, in the attack of the Argentineans there will always be worthy personnel.
In general, the Argentine national team in Russia is not waiting for a light walk, especially considering the complexity of the opponent in the group. As for the general prospects of the team, then by virtue of the above reasons, I do not believe in the victory of the Argentineans at the World Championships. The limit for this team will be semifinal.
