Argentina World Cup History:

Number of Previous World Cup Appearances: 14

Last Appearance: 2006

Best Finish: Champions (1986/1978)

All-Time World Cup Record: 33-19-13

Odds:

According to oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com,

Argentina has been given 13/2 odds to win the World Cup.

Spain is the favorite coming in with odds of 4/1.

2010 World Cup Qualifying:

Argentina did just enough to qualify for the World Cup, as it finished fourth in the CONMEBBOL Qualifying Group.
Argentina went 8-6-4 in 18 games, finishing behind
Brazil,
Chile, and

Paraguay.

Argentina scored 23 goals but allowed 20. Its worst losses during the play came against
Columbia and

Ecuador.

Betting Analysis:

Argentina will play in Group B for the World Cup, joining
Nigeria,
South Korea, and

Greece. While

Argentina shouldn’t have any trouble finishing in the top two of the group, its performance during qualifying has to raise some eyebrows. During friendly competition over the last two years,
Argentina has failed to beat top teams like
Brazil and

Spain, something it will have to do in order to win the Cup. It appears that

Argentina is just not consistent enough to put your money on.
