BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina lost one of their group games in the 1978 World Cup but they picked themselves up to win the trophy for the first time and one of the men who was instrumental in that triumph says the 2018 side can do the same.

Daniel Bertoni, scorer of a goal in the final against the Netherlands in Buenos Aires, told Reuters teams can survive the kind of shaky start that Argentina have had here in Russia.
