This year's FIFA World Cup is looking to be an exciting one for fans who wear Argentina soccer jerseys. While the Argentinian team does have two previous World Cup wins on their belt, they have had little success in FIFA circles since 1990. Now, for the first time in over 30 years, Argentina is poised to take the world of international football by storm and put an end to three decades of World Cup disappointments for their fans.
The sky blue and white stripes of the 2014 World Cup edition Argentina training kit is available for fan purchase right here at Soccer Box. You can find all your favorite pieces of team Argentina football merchandise at the lowest prices around, all ready to deliver before kickoff day this June. Before you head to Brazil to support Argentina's chances in this year's big dance, be sure to pick up enough fan gear for the whole family, so you can show everyone around what real Albicelestes fans look like.
Brazil's Top ContenderÂ
Many fans of South American football expect that Argentina will be host team Brazil's top contender for the World Cup championship spot this year. In fact, next to Brazil, Argentina seems to be the local favorite to win the cup, and with Argentinean fans coming up north to watch the games it may seem like there are just as many Argentinean fans as there are Brazilian fans present at this year's big dance.
Argentina's World Cup hopes rest on the shoulders of a few of their star players namely Lionel Messi, the star forward from FC Barcelona. Messi is a serious contender for the title of Best Player in the world, and is in peak condition to lead his team to the final round of the FIFA World Cup and beyond. Currently sporting the blue and white Argentina training kit, Messi and his team are preparing to show the whole world that Argentina is still to be seen as a serious World Cup contender.
Lionel Messi and his Ablicelestes will also have the chance to face down Portugal, a long time international rival lead by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo and Messi are regarded as the world's two best players in international football, and fans of both sides are excited to see how this matchup will unfold. These two star talismans will undoubtedly give it their all during their time in the international limelight and give their fans the show they are hoping for.
Team Argentina Gains Momentum
Argentina's qualifying round has done much to boost both fan and player morale. They easily coasted through the qualifiers against fellow CONMEBOL teams, ending their run with 9 wins and 32 points. This will be team Argentina's 16th World Cup appearance, so there is no doubt they have the experience needed to stay cool under pressure going in to the tournament's latter rounds.
Lionel Messi can't take all the credit for the Argentinean team's success, and in Brazil's upcoming games, Gonzalo HiguaÃ, a talented forward in his own right, will be there to assist his offensive onslaught. Fans should also keep a sharp eye out for Sergio Romero, the impressive Goalkeeper who managed four shutout matches in his last 14. This trio of gifted and experienced soccer stars will capitalize on their momentum and use it to lead team Argentina to international victory.
And speaking of leaders, the Argentina national team has a new coach to boast about. The 59-year-old Argentine football veteran named Alejandro Sabella only just started his tenure with the team after the 2011 dismissal of coach Batista. Sabella has put his 15 years worth of playing experience to work while his team is still dressed in their Argentina training kit, but will he shine just as bright when the games kick off in Brazil this summer? Only time will tell.
Soccer Box carries all your favorite World Cup fan kit, like the Argentina soccer jerseys by Nike. You can find all your favorite official Argentina fan gear in stock and ready to deliver just in time for kickoff day in Brazil.
