Argentina's golden generation changed soccer forever.
The national team has experienced much of its success during three major golden generations: in the 1950s, 1980s, and late 1990s/early 2000s respectively, which resulted in numerous major honours.
This was the beginning of the so-called "golden generation", which was known for its developed technical football.
