Argentina team the worst in history - Ardiles

The World Cup winner embarked on a lengthy social media rant, savaging the national team and the country's Football Association

Argentina's squad is the worst in history, according to 1978 World Cup winner Ossie Ardiles.

The defeated 2014 finalists opened their campaign with a draw against debutants Iceland, that saw Lionel Messi miss a penalty, before Thursday's 3-0 defeat to Croatia left Argentina at risk of a first group stage exit in 16 years.

Ardiles, in a lengthy social media rant, did not hold back in his criticism of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and coach Jorge Sampaoli.
