La Albiceleste have done it again!Four years ago, they broke the curse. Now, they are already seasoned campaigners when it comes to World Cup finals. In fact, they have become the sixth different national team to feature in back-to-back World Cup trophy matches, after Italy, Brazil, the Netherlands, West Germany, and France.However, it wasn’t always like that. They had endured a painful chapter of suffering and years of disappointment, and look where they are now. That’s why – as ironic as it may sound after last night’s game – the team England should learn from is none other than – Argentina.Elite losing mentality & Tuchel’s tactical suicideLa Albiceleste had also been labelled as eternal underachievers.
