World Cup
The Argentina national team repeated Germany’s success at the World Cup.
Argentina scored their second major victory, beating Croatia 3-0 in the World Cup semi-finals. And the first blue and white, no less, was celebrated 92 years ago at the premiere of the world championship.
The Argentines repeated the success of Germany, which also managed to defeat their opponents twice at this stage. Meanwhile, after the 1958 World Cup, only these two teams have won the 1/2 finals with a goal advantage of three or more.
