Argentina won the World Cup in 1978 (host, beat Netherlands) and 1986 (Mexico, beat West Germany). The 1930 inaugural tournament was won by Uruguay, and 1982 was won by Italy. Argentina's wins are correctly paired as 1978 and 1986.

The Football War (1969) was fought between Honduras and El Salvador, triggered by tensions during a World Cup qualifying match. This actual four-day conflict is recorded in history. The other options are incorrect pairings or conflicts unrelated to World Cup qualifiers.
