Argentina will carry an entire nation’s hopes during the FIFA World Cup 2014. The football-crazy country would love nothing but to win the FIFA World Cup on their arch-rivals, Brazil’s home turf. Led by four-time World Player of the Year in Lionel Messi, Argentina would be confident of their chance to win their third FIFA World Cup. Argentina came first in the South American qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2014.
This is their 16th showing in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Argentina won the biggest prize in 1978 and in 1986. The legendary Diego Maradona led them to glory the second time around. The last two times, Argentina have been knocked out in the quarter-final stage. So, they would be hoping to go much further this time around. They are in Group F with Bosnia & Herzegovina, Nigeria and Iran.
