Between 1929 and 1959, the team won the Copa America 12 times, but FIFA World Cup success still eluded them until the breakthrough for the Albiceleste came in 1978 when they lifted the FIFA World Cup for the first time on home soil. Mario Kempes scored twice in a memorable Final against Holland. • Argentina repeated the feat in 1986 thanks to the genius of Diego Maradona. They reached the Final again in 1990, only to see an Andi Brehme penalty seal victory for Germany.   Coach Name : Jose Pekerman Nationality : Argentinean Date of Birth : 3 September 1949   Squad No. Name Position Date of Birth Caps Gols (1) Roberto Abbondanzieri Goalkeeper 19 Aug 1972 21 0 (2) Roberto Ayala Defender 14 Apr 1973 99 6 (3) Juan Sorin Defender 5 May 1976 70 10 (4) Fabricio Coloccini Defender 22 Jan 1982 23 1 (5) Esteban Cambiasso Midfielder 18 Aug 1980 21 1 (6) Gabriel Heinze Defender 19 Apr 1978 28 1 (7) Javier Saviola Forward 11 Dec 1981 30 9 (8) Javier Mascherano Midfielder 8 Jun 1984 14 0 (9) Hernan Crespo Forward 5 Jul 1975 54 29 (10) Juan Riquelme Midfielder 24 Jun 1978 30 8 (11) Carlos Tevez Forward 5 Feb 1984 20 3 (12) Leonardo Franco Goalkeeper 20 May 1977 3 0 (13) Lionel Scaloni Defender 16 May 1978 5 0 (14) Rodrigo Palacio Forward 5 Feb 1982 2 0 (15) Gabriel Milito Defender 7 Sep 1980 14 0 (16) Pablo Aimar Midfielder 3 Nov 1979 39 7 (17) Leandro Cufre Defender 9 May 1978 2 0 (18) Maxi Rodriguez Midfielder 2 Jan 1981 12 2 (19) Lionel Messi Forward 24 Jun 1987 6 1 (20) Julio Cruz Forward 10 Oct 1974 15 3 (21) Nicolas Burdisso Defender 12 Apr 1981 7 0 (22) Luis Gonzalez Midfielder 19 Jan 1981 27 5 (23) Oscar Ustari Goalkeeper 3 Jul 1986 0 0   Match Schedule Group C Match Date Venue Teams Time Score 5 10 Jun 06 Hamburg ARG : CIV 21:00   21 16 Jun 06 Gelsenkirchen ARG : SCG 15:00   37 21 Jun 06 Frankfurt NED : ARG 21:00     Accommodation Alang Alang Suite Cinta Inn Pondok Damai Puri Bambu More Trading Criter Wear Carlo Showroom Goddess Silks Sourcing For Living Travels Eco Dive Bali Gunung Leuser Trek Papua Adventures Premier Card Jewelry Alamkara Ebone Designs Jean-François Fichot Art Galleries Naka Contemporary Art Zola Zolu Gallery Antonius Kho I Madé Sumadiyasa Richard Winkler Sculpture by Filippos Tony Raka Art Gallery
