Explanation

Argentina lost their opening matches in both 1982 (lost to Belgium) and 1990 (lost to Cameroon) when defending champions. This is indeed a dubious record as champions typically perform well in their opening games. In both tournaments, they ultimately reached the final but lost. They did clear group stages on both occasions and did not score more than 3 goals in their opening matches.
