Franco has played five times in the Argentine national team and was in Argentina’s World Cup squad for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Franco was substituted on in the quarter-finals against Germany when goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri was unable to continue playing after an injury. At that point, Argentina were leading 1-0. Franco had to allow Miroslav Klose to equalize and in the subsequent penalty shoot-out , Sergio Goycochea was unable to distinguish himself as a penalty killer as he did in the 1990 World Cup . He did not save a penalty from the German team, while his opponent Jens Lehmann was able to fend off two Argentinian shots.
