If you have, then you're not alone. Argentina has won the World Cup four times! You may even be surprised by the number! In this article, you will discover how often this team has won. We'll go over the winning streak of Argentina and see if you can spot your favourite player. And, of course, you'll learn which players have the most World Cup wins.

The first World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. It consisted of 13 teams playing 18 matches. Argentina finished runners-up in the final, where they lost to Uruguay. Their most memorable piece came in the Round of 16 where they beat Brazil 1-0. Afterwards, they eliminated Yugoslavia on penalties. It is important to note that Argentina won the World Cup three times since then. However, it wasn't always that easy.

Before Argentina made their mark in football, they won the Campeonato Sudamericano three times. At the beginning, they couldn't compete against European teams, but that changed in the 1920s. Eventually, they were able to beat Europe's top teams. In fact, they won sixteen of their 19 games on their European tour. So, what was Argentina's winning streak?

The country's most recent triumph came in 1974. The team lost two games against Italy in the second round. They went on to lose to Brazil 2-1 and Italy 2-0. That year, Argentina had a new coach, Victorio Spinetto. While Spinetto was lauded as the best in the world, he was widely criticized for anti-futbol tactics. When the nation reached the finals in 1994, he was replaced by Juan Carlos Lorenzo, a defensive and pragmatic coach.

Another world-cup appearance came in 1982. Argentina qualified for the tournament with three other members of Comnebol. However, preparations were interrupted by a military coup one month before the final tournament. Meanwhile, Argentine players did not agree with the new playing system of coach Lorenzo. The ball was a different model than usual, which surprised the players. In spite of the poor results, the team did reach the finals twice in the last two decades.

Argentine soccer is a rare breed. Among its many great players are Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, and Esteban Cambiasso. Their opponents' talent is spread across the field, but their talisman Lionel Messi is the main attraction. Argentina will have to be on their game. You'll want to see their best players play well in every position.

Since then, Argentina has won the World Cup four times. Their first triumph came in 1982, when they were automatically qualified. In 1986, Argentina went on to win the World Cup for the second time. This tournament, however, was full of controversy. The game against England ended in a controversial 2-1 result. In the end, however, Argentina advanced to the semi-finals, courtesy of two Maradona goals.

Argentina's next World Cup appearance was in 1978, when they hosted the competition. This time, they won the World Cup without the participation of any of the other South American nations. Despite boycott threats, the tournament was played in Argentina. This tournament had the same format as 1974, but no knockout stage. This World Cup was a mixed bag of controversy. Despite advancing from their group with Poland, they failed to defeat Brazil. They were also eliminated by the Netherlands in the first game.

The Copa America was first held in 1916 and Uruguay won the inaugural tournament. It was held every two years until 2007, when it was moved to a quadrennial format. The field for the Copa America is made up of the member countries of CONMEBOL and two additional nations. As with the World Cup, this tournament has the potential to be a high-scoring affair. The country is also rumored to have a baby boom just 9 months after the World Cup.

As a member of CONMEBOL, Argentina is well-represented in international soccer tournaments. Its match officials have been in almost every World Cup since the tournament began, including the 2006 final between France and Italy. The same team was involved in the opening game of the World Cup in 2018.
