Argentina World Cup Betting
Argentina are very popular in the betting for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as they are jam packed full of world class players and are more than capable of going all the way once again. However, the Argentines did make a pigs ear out of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup as they just scraped through on the last round of games.
Argentina's record in World Cups is that they have competed in 4 World Cup finals and have won 2 and lost 2. Argentina contested the very first World Cup against Uruguay where they lost 4-2 but they have been a super power on the world stage ever since.
First World Cup Win
They won for the the first ever in the 1978 World Cup Final, where they beat they beat Holland on home soil in what was a World Cup of great football and spectator enjoyment. Mario Kempes was the star of the show that year but the Argentina player that come to light in later years was the great Diego Maradona and he was the real inspiration behind their second 1986 World Cup win.
Argentina have great flair and are World beaters on their day but they also can have temperamental issues and sometimes this lets them down when the going gets tough.
Current Team
Argentina will be many people's idea of the winners on the 2014 World Cup, they have a host of world class players currently, including Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero. However, they didn't perform well at the 2011 Copa America, where they were dumped out in the quarter-finals after just scraping through their group.
With Brazil gaining automatic qualification for the 2014 World Cup Argentina are the favourites to win the South American Zone ..
