Argentina World Cup 2010 chances – Ticket to SA
As poor as they have been. Argentina is struggling to find a ticket to South Africa. Disappointing performance from last 5 games pushed down argentina to fifth place. Just below the automatic qualifier for FIFA soccer world cup 2010. Veteran Argentina midfielder Veron claims manager Maradona is struggling to put together an efficient team of 11 players despite having a dearth of quality at his disposal. A new challenge to maradona (Considered to be God in argentina) in his new role as national team manager. If it happens, argentina absence in South Africa will be great minus to the tournament.
Words of veteran midfielder Veron,
“The fact is that there are players in the team who are not in their very best form. We’ve got great players but the coach (Maradona) hasn’t really unearthed his best team yet, At Barcelona they play a game of short, quick passes which is different to the way Argentina play. Here, everyone expects Lio (Messi) to dribble through five players and then score a goal. But he can’t do everything himself.”
There are more accolades to argentina’s presence,
Two times FIFA world champions in 1978, and 1986
Two times olympic gold medalist in 2004 and 2008
Only Team to win Copa America for 8 times out of 14 title competitions
Confederation cup winners in 1992
Failed to finish among the top four forced Argentina into a two-leg play-off to secure their ticket for the finals in South Africa next summer. Argentina will play against Ghana as a friendly match on 30th September, This will be crucial to regain team confidence, people confidence and fight for the place. Bilardo is said to pick a squad of locals for this important game. He is the master mind behind maradona’s inspirations.
A World cup football tournament without Argentina is like Coffee without sugar. We all the soccer fan love to see nail biting 90 minutes on the pitch. Absence of players like veron, Messi, Tevez is not something i can accept. I love to see Latin American style of ball dribble, sneak through five and kiss the net.
Come on Guys .. Fight and get through. After all soccer is all about fighting.

Glad to share recent survey happened in Argentina. People are against maradona as manager.
carlos Fara and Associates, who interviewed 442 people, said 67 percent believe 1986 World Cup-winning captain Maradona should not be in charge of the team, with just 22 percent in support.
Tough time Argentina .. tough time
I love to see argentina in WC. without them World cup is nothing to me
Maradona is not the only responsible guy. player like messi has been scoring consistently for Barca bt not for argentina. He should be asked to change the game style and work harder
Ahead of their crucial two games one at oct10th .. These surveys will add fuel to the fire
I would say, the style of game in latin america and europe is different. Every player love to win and score no doubt about that. By EO 90mins better team in that day wins the game. 4 Bad days causing them big problem.
