    Could be a wild card, despite the crazy one in charge. Bundles of talent up top but defence is a worry and midfield a bit of a lottery.

    Wouldn’t write them off for a bit of run though!

    DEFENCE IS POOR! midfield is average, forward line is world class, NOT enough to WIN the world cup!
    able to make it to the last 8 only!

    I THINK GABRIEL MILLI TO SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN ARGENTINA WORLD CUP SQUAD BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD DEFENDER AND HE IS JUST COMING OFF AN INJURY AND HASN’T GET HIS CHANCE TO PROVE HIMSELF.

    Gabriel Millito and Zanetti should have been included in diffence.Cambiaso,Gago,Riquelme should be in midfield.I am great fan of Argentina but sorry to say diffence is so poor,lack of experience in midfield.

    ….defence seems too much fragile..midfield is filled wid whimsically lazy, n inexperienced stuffs….forward is too bright! but, u gotta pass n make d ball availabl to d forwards…alone forwards jus can show their danglin balls 2 d rival gk…this is realy pathetic 4 a fan like me 2 accept…n i hate dat m. palermo shit.

    Requelme was necessary. Too many strikers so it will be difficult for MARADONA to select. Messi & Tevez will be perfect………

    I certainly don’t know why didn’t Maradona take Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso ? Can anyone compare Javier Zanetti to Clemente Rodriguez ? ofcourse Javier Zanetti is better .. and can anyone compare Veron to Esteban Cambiasso ? Cambiasso is better ! and I also don’t know why did he take that Martin Palermo !?? and didn’t take Lisandro Lopez ?? Awhhh They’re surely gonna lose these players !

    I’m a big fan of Argentina National Team, but surely they are going to miss this one again thankx to Diego Maradona Team Selection, it wont go anyway, wat a disastrous team, old men are chosen who are supposed to have retired/rested, Maradona is just like France coach, he is clueless.

    But maradona why!! confused or biased!! No zanneti, camiaso, lisandro lopez, aimar, riquelme. whoever did this selection is purely sentimental and will do Argentina no good. crazy maradona

  19. What the ell ?

    Maradona was not even near to be the greatest footballer in history, sad. People just try to make of him a legend, while he’s not.

    Argentina’s team is pretty good in my point ot view. But they’ll not win, once again.

    hi guys! i just wanna say that dispite our probrems in the fiel we are a great team. our wickest point is that this players are not made to play togheter, nut they are trying their best to overcome this. for that person who ask who martin palermo is i got to say he is one of the besst players in argentina so don´t mess around with him. dispite my personal probles with maradona (he is a junky) he is doing well so far. okay.. if u have any doubs just ask. bye..

    Sad but true Maradona lost it out by taking pathetic defenders to this World Cup. It’s been 24 years since they won and today was was Maradona’s worst master stroke because they were pathetic every where. Veron would have been better to run the play instead of Maxi because it would have freed Messi. Man Maradona should have realized that he is not God and certainly not Fidel Castro’s blessings.

    July 3rd, 2010 @ 17:16
  41. Nisy

    Yeah!!! We win!!! We wash argentinia!! Germany will win the cup 2010 because we have miroslav klose, thomas müller, bastian schweinsteiger, mesut özil and our great coach jogi löw!

    Maradonna & Messi as a soccer supporter I love you both for different reasons. We had a great 2010 world cup and having the two of you on our soil made it even greater. Sorry I did not get to meet Messi when we were in Barcelonain April 2010 but still got my husband a Messi Shirt. Maradonna if I have the good fortune to visit Argentina someday I would love to meet you.to me you were the most inspiring coach at the world cup.
