The 5th ranked Argentina side is currently playing the 15th ranked Netherlands in the second semifinal of the FIFA World Cup.
There is a growing feeling amongst soccer pundits that this could be Argentina's World Cup.
They are in their first World Cup semifinal since 1990.
The Argentine media calculated that it has been 8,771 days since they last played in a World Cup semifinal and today’s match falls on a day which happens to be Independence Day in Argentina.
Argentina has never lost in a World Cup semifinal and the last time they played the Netherlands was during their nil-all draw in 2006.
Meanwhile, the winner between Argentina and Netherlands will take on Germany in the FIFA World Cup final at 7am next Monday.
