It has been a long time since we have seen such a weak and soulless Argentina

    After 11 World Cups, Argentina reiterated their sad results of not being able to win in both opening matches in this arena. In the 1974, Albiceleste lost to Poland before being held to a 1-1 draw by Italy in their first two matches in Stuttgart.

    After the draw with Iceland on the opening day, Argentina entered the second match determined to win 3 points to light up their hope of going on. However, with poor performances in both attack and defence, Albiceleste suffered a humiliating defeat with a score of 0-3.

    Notably, this was Argentina's biggest defeat in the World Cup group stage in 60 years. The last time they lost more than that was a 1-6 defeat to Tiep Khac at the VCK World Cup 1958.

    This is also the 4th match in the World Cup, Argentina could not win, which has never happened in the history of this team. Before that, in the last 2 matches at the 2014 World Cup, Albiceleste drew for 90 minutes (against the Netherlands and Germany).

    90 minutes against the caro team was the 4th consecutive match in which Argentina did not know the taste of victory in the World Cup arena. Before losing to Croatia, Albiceleste were held to a draw by Iceland in the opening day of the 2018 World Cup. Before that, at the 2014 World Cup, Argentina lost to Germany in the final and could not beat the Netherlands after 120 minutes in the semi-finals.

    For Messi personally, the striker celebrating his 31st birthday this Sunday (June 24.4) spent 647 minutes without scoring any goals at the World Football Festival, including the two matches in the 2018 World Cup.

    The last time La Pulga fired in the biggest tournament on the planet was in the first half of the 2014 World Cup group stage. Quite interestingly, Nigeria will also be the opponent of Tango dancers in the final round of the 2018 World Cup group stage.

    Empty-handedness against Croatia pushed Argentina into a situation where they were thousands of kilos with hair hanging. Messi and his teammates must defeat Nigeria in the final match and pray Iceland cannot defeat the blue bigars at 22:00 on June 22. But anyway, Sampaoli and his team will have a hard time deciding for themselves in the end of the match. They will meet Nigeria, while Iceland will face Croatia.

    If they fail, it will be the first time Argentina has not qualified for the World Cup group stage since 2002. In the tournament held in Korea and Japan at that time, the Tango team also had to return home when it ranked 3rd in Group F, after Sweden and England.
