For the very first time world cup held in continent of Asia. And it was the 1st time in history of football that a world cup was held in two countries at the same time i.e. South Korea and Japan. Brazil and argentina were very strong teams at that time and very likely to win the world cup.
Also defending world cup champion France were the strongest contender for winning the title. But in this world cup many favourites and strongest teams failed to deliver at their potential and ability.
Even team like France didn't able to qualify from first round. Argentina's story was not different from france and failed to qualify from 1st round.
