Argentina landed on American soil in 1994 expecting to win their first World Cup title since 1986. Romania had other plans. The teams matched up in the first stage in the blistering heat of Pasadena, California. Romania started hot and finished hot, beating Argentina 3-2.

If Argentina had its star player, Diego Maradona, the results may have been different. Maradona was sent home before the match after failing a drug test. Argentina enters the 2018 World Cup looking still looking for their first title since the 1980s. Up next, that time the United States and Iran learned to get along!
