The Argentineans have such a rich history in football, but where-o-where will they get ousted from the Cup? Well, it was not in the group stages, not like Korea/Japan 2002. Their fate will be like France 1998, a quarterfinal departure at the hands of the hosts.

If you are not biased, then you can agree that things have not been great for the Argentines, not in the last few cups. They have been making their home in the group of death, and although they found their way out this time, they still had a tough time against Mexico in the Round of Sixteen. They now have to meet up with Germany, and this is where Argentina will have to pay.
 
They have great players, but none are Maradona. So that means no glory for the Argentineans this time around either.
