KAZAN, Russia (AP) - Argentina came to the World Cup with a generation of players that had won so much, just not at the highest level.
Messi-led generation fails to win major title with Argentina
At one point led by a young Lionel Messi, the Argentines won five titles at the U-20 World Cup from 1995-2007 and two gold medals at the Olympics in 2004 and 2008.
But the team's latest chance to win a major title at the senior level came to an end Saturday when Argentina lost to France 4-3 at the World Cup.
