When Was The Last Time Argentina Won The World Cup?

Argentina is up 2-0 in the World Cup Final vs. France, and if the score holds, it would mark the first time in a long time that the South American nation won the title. The last time Argentina won the World Cup was 1986, when it defeated Germany to win its second title in three tournaments.

That team was led by Diego Maradona, who is arguably the greatest player in Argentine history. However, Lionel Messi has a chance to unseat Maradona with a win over France, and he already has a goal in this match.

Argentina has come close to winning twice since its 1986 victory, making the World Cup final in both 1990 and 2014.
