In the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, they had lost two matches and would almost surely finish last in their second round group of four teams, but they put in a special effort for their last game in Córdoba against West Germany, which had still chances of qualifying for the final.
Na Svjetskom prvenstvu 1978. u Argentini, izgubili su dvije utakmice i gotovo sigurno završili bi posljednji u svojoj grupi od četiri ekipe, u drugom krugu, ali uložili su poseban napor u posljednjoj utakmici u Cordobi protiv Zapadne Njemačke, koja je još uvijek imala priliku kvalificirati se u finale.
