The last time the Argentina national football team won Copa America, it was 1993. They bested Mexico 2-1 in the final to take the title, their second in a row at the prestigious South American football event. Since then, the Argentine side has seen the era of Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest football player on Earth and the greatest player in the country's history. Since Argentina hasn't won the cup title in recent years, Messi has also never won it. However, he and his squad are shooting for a victory in 2015, and you can root for them today by picking up a brand new Argentina training kit at Soccer Box!
Soccer Box has just received a shipment of new 2015 2016 Argentina football gear, perfect for the upcoming 2015 South American tournament! The Argentina presentation suit 2015 2016 is a cool new combination from Nike that features a white jacket and a pair of navy blue training pants. Argentine footballers will wear the presentation suit at this summer's tournament as they warm up, practice, or take the pitch to play matches.
Recent Copa America History
The Argentina soccer squad still has a few months left before they will be heading out onto the pitches of Chile to compete for South American glory. In the meantime, you can bet that Messi and company will be spending ample time practicing in the 2015 2016 Argentina training kit and presentation suit, preparing for the challenges ahead.
That's especially true since the Argentine side will be looking for redemption this year. Indeed, at the last Copa America tournament, held in 2011, it looked as if all of the elements were lining up for the country to finally return to the top of the podium. Not only had Argentina finished as the runner-up at the two previous tournaments (in 2004 and 2007, losing to Brazil both times), but they were also hosting the event. Quite simply, it seemed like a perfect storm for an Argentina home victory.
Unfortunately, the home squad fell apart a bit under the pressure and scrutiny. The group stage saw the team drawing two fixtures before winning big against Costa Rica to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. But a close 1-1 match with Uruguay in the quarterfinals eventually gave way to extra time, and then to a penalty kick shootout, and Argentina was eliminated. Uruguay went on to win the trophy.
Needless to say, fans in the Argentina presentation suit 2015 2016 have high hopes that their soccer team will do a bit better this year. They have reason to believe so, too: in 2014, the Argentines were the runners-up at the World Cup in Brazil, losing narrowly (0-1) to Germany in the championship match. If they can outstrip most of the best teams in the world, then surely the squad can rise to the top of the South American pack, right?
The Group Stage
We'll get an inkling of the answer to that question come mid-June, when the wearers of the 2015 2016 Argentina training kit commence group stage play for the 2015 Copa America. The Argentine side has been drawn into Group B, alongside Uruguay, Paraguay, and Jamaica.
Of those teams, only Uruguay and Argentina appeared at the 2014 World Cup. Therefore, those two countries are strongly favored to win the group and proceed to the quarterfinals. Paraguay has won a pair of South American championship titles in the past, but not since 1979. Jamaica, meanwhile, is a special "invitee" to the 2015 event, and has never appeared in the South American cup before.
Based on these statistics, it looks like the Argentine football club should have a straight shot to the quarterfinals, and possibly beyond. They will face some challenges along the way: Brazil and Uruguay can never be counted out, Chile has the advantage of being the home country, and Colombia made quite splash at the 2014 World Cup. Still, though, it feels like this could be Lionel Messi's year to add "Copa America Winner" to his resume, and you can support his mission today with a new training kit or Argentina presentation suit 2015 2016 from Soccer Box!
Soccer Box will be getting more new 2015 2016 gear as the year goes on, but for now, check out our Argentina training kit and presentation suit! You can also pick up the home kit or away kit from 2014.
