How did they qualify - 2nd in group Argentina National Football Team came second in thier group, having the same amount of points as first place Brazil but missing out on that top spot due to goal difference. The Argentina squad won the most games from the 18 that every team had to play in the qualifiers round. Their 14th world cup entry was set after beating Brazil 3-1 in the qualifying rounds, the game was played in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Germany 2006 now beckons

Since the team formed and they first entered the world cup back in 1930 the team have only ever not qualified once in 1954. 1938 and 1950 saw the team withdraw from the competition due to confusion of where the tournament was to be held. Both Uruguay and Argentina pulled out of the 1938 world cup, both outraged.

Argentina have always been a strong team in the world cup and so far have won the title twice however since their last win in 1986 the team are yet to make it past the quaterfinals.
