World Cup finals

The Argentina team has held the record for playing in four World Cup finals. In 1930, they got the opportunity to play their first World Cup final but lost the match to Uruguay. The match statistics reveal that though the team participated in four final matches, they only won two of the four matches. In 1978, they played in the World Cup Final for the second time, against strong rivals Netherlands. Inspite of the enthusiasm and good on-field performance by both the teams, the match finally went in favor of Argentina by 3-1.
