The national team will play their fourth World Cup with the illusion of making history and reaching the group stage for the first time.
The national team travels to Oceania with intact illusions and the great opportunity to enter the great history of our country. The first objective is to achieve the first victory in a World Cup and then seek to advance to the group stage.
It would not be until the 2003 United States World Cup that Argentina would have its first appointment with the world's most important tournament. On that occasion, they were placed in Group C along with Japan, Canada, and Germany. It would not be a good cup, losing all three games (6-0 against Japan, 3-0 against Canada, and 6-1 against Germany), resulting in a goal difference of -14, making it the worst team in that World Cup.
They would have a rematch 4 years later, in China 2007. There they shared a group with England, Germany, and Japan, as you can imagine, it was another pounding. The results were 1-0 against Japan, 6-1 against England, and the overwhelming 11-0 defeat against the Germans, which was the biggest victory in a women's World Cup until the 13-0 defeat of Thailand against the United States. Once again, we were the worst team in that World Cup.
In France 2019, things would change for the better, as the Argentine national team would achieve their first point in a World Cup. They would be placed in Group D along with Japan, Scotland, and England. The first match would be a great 0-0 draw against the Japanese, then there would be a 3-0 defeat against England, and the third game would be crazy, going from 0-3 down to equalizing 3-3. Argentina managed to score points in the group stage for the first time and achieved great results against world powers. They finished 18th out of 24 teams.
A World Cup with great expectations is coming, to achieve victory, advance to the next stage, but above all, to position Argentina among the main national teams in the world.
