Defending champions Argentina will play their first FIFA World Cup match today against Algeria. In the two previous FIFA World Cups where Argentina played as defending champions, they lost their opening matches.
In the 1982 FIFA World Cup, Argentina, as defending champions, played in the opening match against Belgium at Camp Nou, eventually losing 0-1. Argentina advanced from the group stage as runners-up with two wins and one loss, but lost both matches in the second group stage and failed to reach the semifinals.
In the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Argentina again played as defending champions in the opening match against Cameroon at San Siro, also losing 0-1. Argentina advanced from the group stage as third-place finishers with one win, one draw, and one loss, then made it all the way to the final, where they lost 0-1 to West Germany.

You forgot to mention the 2022 Against Saudi Arabia. They lost that game and it was their opening match of the World Cup tournament.
They talked of starting as WC champion. In 2022 Argentina wasn't starting as such.

They lost the opening match to Cameroon in 1990 as defending champions of 1986. Is it not what is shown?

This is why we say... Argentina's legacy was already made Maradona...But when it comes to Portugal there were nothing and Ronaldo gave them a EURO and 2 Nations League titles... THAT'S WHY CR7 IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME π
its not Ronaldo comment, you booty liker, CR7 was never a player of the tournament in any of the tournament which Portugal won, that is the difference with Maradona Messi or Pele,

This might be coming true after watching yesterday's matches, no one expected all those matches to be ended with a draw.

You are so smart! I love your Logic. We really shouldn't credit CR7 for what he did at Club level then. Think about it, United had won it all in their history before signing Ronaldo. What was Madrid lacking before signing him? We shouldn't credit Zidane for winning UCL thrice, after all, Madrid had gone 5 in a row before. Do you see how illogical your statement is now? That Argentina's legacy was already made. Or let's do what you CR7 fans always do - use a different yardstick when it comes to your idol.
don't mind the frustrated fan base
