2026 World Cup runners-up, and only lost the final after extra
time.
Argentina were one of the worst World Cup finalists in recent
memory... for playing proper football that is.
Agree. They had a very easy path to the semis, struggled to get there nevertheless, got past England after an excessively rough game (with an excellent finish indeed) and did next to nothing against Spain, except
rogue play again for which they finally had a player sent off. Their
final presence this year clearly doesn't mean much.
FWIW, 4 years ago they also had Di Maria. And Messi was 4 years younger
of course.
