They are determined to show the world their talent this time so they're sending a full squad.
Argentina's problem in the World Cup is that their talent just doesn't mesh with the hard-nosed European styles of England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands or the Czechs. Though they are starting to breed destroyers too (Mascherano for one) so maybe that'll change. Spain and Portugal play a more Latin style and they run into issues too. Brazil seems to be able to overcome it though.

But I agree... they are definitely there to win, and to try and do so convincingly.
