Argentina’s 5 Greatest World Cup Strikers

With two World Cup trophies, the Argentine national team has one of the most illustrious records of any country in the famous competition.

5 Reasons Why Argentina Should Not Take Juventus’ Carlos Tevez to the World Cup

The exclusion of Carlos Tevez has been a talking point ever since the start of Alejandro Sabella’s reign as Argentina coach. The man dubbed the “People’s Player” has a large support in his native country, and the boss has consistently resisted pressure to put the Juventus man in his squads despite some excellent performances in Italy.  But is Sabella right to ignore one... 

Predicting Who Will Be in Argentina’s Defence at the World Cup

Playing on their home continent and led by one of the finest players—if not the finest—on the planet in Lionel Messi, optimism is high for the Argentine national team. A world-class attack is the basis for the Albiceleste’s confidence that this team can win their first World Cup in 28 years in Brazil.  However, football cannot just be won by scoring goals—a... 

25 Storylines No One Is Talking About Ahead of World Cup

The World Cup is almost upon us. Less than two months remain before the big kick-off on June 12, when hosts Brazil start their bid to lift a sixth trophy in the curtain-raiser against Croatia.  The question of whether the hosts or indeed any other side will win the biggest title in football is obviously the biggest story of the World Cup. But that is far from the only thing that counts at Brazil... 

Predicting the Argentina Squad 60 Days from the 2014 World Cup

The World Cup is slowly but surely approaching. In just 60 days, Argentina will be hoping to end a run of 28 years without lifting football’s most important trophy in Brazil.  But who will be decked in the nation’s famous blue and white stripes, ready to lead the nation to possible glory in the homeland of their arch-rivals?  Although there are still two months for players to... 

How Important Is Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero to Argentina’s World Cup Bid?

Of all Argentina’s star-studded attack, perhaps no other man has done more to cement his place in the last four years than Manchester City star Sergio Aguero. From a useful squad member and impact substitute during the last World Cup and 2011 Copa America, El Kun is now an unquestioned member of the first team.  To get there, Aguero has had to work extremely hard; but more than anything,... 

Ranking the Top 20 Nations in the History of the World Cup

The World Cup is football’s premier competition. Freed from the rigours of the club game once every four years, players from across the planet compete for national pride and the chance for unparalleled glory that could come just once in a lifetime.  In its 84 years of existence, the competition has seen countless memorable matches and wonderful teams. But who, across World Cup history, has... 

Ranking Argentina’s 30 Greatest World Cup Moments

From the very first tournament onward, Argentina have boasted a rich history in the World Cup. With two winners’ medals and two further appearances in the final, few teams have made such an impact on the competition as the Albiceleste.  Naturally enough then, picking the side’s greatest moments from 1930 to 2010—a period of no less than 80 years—is never going to be an... 

Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria Clasico Displays Boost Argentina’s Brazil Dream

This week’s pulsating Clasico derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona was one of the greatest games seen in top-level football in recent years. But more than that, it was a sign that, driven by two stars from opposite sides of one of the sport’s fiercest rivalries, one South American team nation will be a force to be reckoned with in Brazil 2014.  From almost the very first minute,... 

Javier Mascherano Is the Man to Transform Argentina’s Uncertain Defence

One of the favourites for the upcoming Brazil World Cup, Argentina, nevertheless, have a noticeable Achilles’ heel. But in the shape of Barcelona star Javier Mascherano, perhaps the Albiceleste already possess the key to fix up a defence that still fails to inspire great confidence.
