Hey look it at it this way, they did their best, they have a great record look at it:
Founded 1893
Affiliated 1912
WC participations 13 (1930, 1934, 1958, 1962, 1966, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002)
WC honours 2-time FIFA World Cup winners (1978, 1986), 2-time FIFA World Cup runners-up (1930, 1990).
Continental Titles Copa America 14 times (1921, 1925, 1927, 1927, 1937, 1941, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1955, 1957, 1959, 1991, 1993), Pan American Cup 6 times (1951, 1955, 1959, 1971, 1995, 2003)
Facts
Argentina reached the Final in their first FIFA World Cup⢠in 1930, losing 2-4 to Uruguay. Between 1929 and 1959, the team won the Copa America 12 times, but FIFA World Cup success still eluded them until.
The breakthrough for the Albiceleste came in 1978 when they lifted the FIFA World Cup for the first time on home soil. Mario Kempes scored twice in a memorable Final against Holland. Argentina repeated the feat
in 1986 thanks to the genius of Diego Maradona. They reached the Final again in 1990, only to see an Andi Brehme penalty seal victory for Germany.

I am totally shocked.Lots of things makes it weird.That referee bringing out yellow card when the penalty kick was due for Rodrigues.Calling back Requilme and Crespo....not letting Messi play....and benching Saviola raises many fingers on the coach Mr Pekerman.I am freaked.

I feel sorry for Argentina as well. They were ahead by one goal for such a long time and then lost to penalties. It would have been less tragic if they hadn't lost on penalties.
