Best Ever Finish: Winners (1978, 1986)

Captain: Lionel Messi

Manager: Alejandro Sabella

Qualifying with not much difficulty and with an excess of aggressive flair at hand, Argentina are in main position to launch an attack on the 2014 World Cup.
In addition to their nasty resources, they will be playing on their home continent, and their experience with the sweltering warmth and intense clamminess will serve them well against teams who may sweat in the Brazilian sun

Lionel Messi will be eager to blaze his side into the knock-out stage and way futher, particularly after he failed to score a goal in the 2010 World Cup. But in Brazil, with a supporting shed of Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Gonzalo Higuain, Sabella’s team will not be short of firepower if Messi was to rise short yet again.

Argentina blew hot and cold at the earlier World Cup under the stewardship of Diego Maradona. Under Sabella, they look better planned, much more practical and then have a better stage in place to permit Messi and co. to thrive. Martin Demichelis and Pablo Zabaleta are main defensive men, and come into this World Cup on after a title winning drive with Manchester City.

It is yet to be seen whether this additional steadiness is precisely what this team requires to win their first World Cup title after 28 years, but the additional cohesiveness will certainly help the Albiceleste as the quality of opponent increases in the knock out stage of the tournament.
Looking forward to a strong display from this skilled unit.  Berth in semifinal is a very strong likelihood, and if Messi can lace his magic, then the Argentinians have a magnificent opportunity of regaining an all important World Cup title.
Key Player – Lionel Messi



Tiny in physique but a giant of present era, who besides other than the guy who has been chosen the world’s best footballer for four of the last five years!? A mad achievement to match his amazing goal scoring record of 327 goals in 395 matches for his club. Not to cite the 37 goals he has scored in 83 appearances for his nation.

Not merely is the man regarded by various as the greatest footballer to lace up a pair of boots an amazingly prolific goal scorer, but he will generate opportunities for others, track back and push the opponent too. Messi can do it all and is approaching, if not already in the peak of his soccer career. With the World Cup on his home continent, the little brilliance will certainly not get a better opportunity to sample World Cup glory.

He has been operating in an superior task on the right-hand-side, with Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero joining him in a formidable looking triumvirate of aggressive players. But they are a flexible trio, giving Argentina’s aggressive forays astonishing litheness.
Argentinians will be looking to Messi to repeat his Blaugrana form in the jersey of his national side. If he can do that, any nation that comes up against the Albiceleste will be wavering at the scene of facing this football observable fact.
