Argentina have contested four FIFA World
Cup Finals in all, the first of them at the inaugural tournament, Uruguay 1930,
when they went down 4-2 to the host nation. Respective contributions from Mario
Kempes and Diego Maradona inspired them to the biggest prize in football on
home soil in 1978 and again at Mexico 1986, while their last showpiece
appearance came at Italy 1990, when they were denied by an Andreas Brehme
penalty. Since then they have been unable to progress beyond the
quarter-finals.
