Argentina has gone ten consecutive FIFA World Cup matches without a loss, matching the all-time record for unbeaten runs in the tournament’s history.
The defending champions from 2022 are doing what defending champions rarely manage: looking even better the second time around.
How Argentina got here
The 2026 run started with a commanding 3-0 group-stage win over Algeria on June 16. Argentina then beat Austria 2-0 on June 22, followed by a 3-1 victory over Jordan on June 27 to sweep the group stage without dropping a point.
The Round of 32 was where things got complicated. Argentina needed extra time to see off Cape Verde, eventually winning 3-2 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on July 3.
