Argentina’s Guillermo Stabile slots the ball past American goalkeeper Jim Douglas
“We’re doing a World Cup team history post for each of the 32 teams at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. However, some teams have a little more history than others. The albiceleste stripes of Argentina have appeared in 14 previous World Cups, stretching all the way back to the inaugural 1930 edition. Theirs is a rich rich story, full of triumph, disappointment, and a fair bit of controversy. Too much for just the one post, and so our history of Argentina at the World Cup has been split into two parts.” (World Cup Blog – 1930 to 1982), (Part II: 1986 to 2006)
