Argentina’s supporters may feel hard done by to have been thrown into the 'Group of Death' in successive World Cups.

An in-form Juan Riquelme will ask awkward questions from the world's best defenses. Argentina, with the likes of Kempes and Maradona in its hall of fame, always expects much from its team in the World Cup. This year will be no exception.
The 1978 and 1986 World Cup champions played a confident set of qualification matches and ended at the top of the South American group tables. Argentinean striker Carlos Tevez and Hernan Crespo are the current team's stars left with the task of filling Maradona's impressive boots.
