The 1978 and 1986 world
champions,) La Albiceleste (The White and Sky Blue) of Argentina is in
GROUP F with new entrant
Zmajevi (Dragons) Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Lions of Iran and the super green
Eagles of Nigeria. Argentina captained by Lionel Messi will make their fifteenth appearances at the world stage.
The made their first appearance in 1930. Argentina lost their first
international match by 0-6 to Uruguay on July, 20, 1902, recorded their biggest 12-0 win
over Ecuador on January, 22, 1942. The La Albiceleste is another world cup favourite, but may face
tough challenge from reigning Africa champions the super green Eagles of
Nigeria and cunning Iran. It will be a fourth appearances for Iran since 2006 and the same number of
appearances for Nigeria. However, the last time Nigeria participated at a world
