No offence, but Argies haven't been the best team for a looooooooooong time...
Even now, they're depleted thanks to Maradona's managerial "abilities" and player feuds.
Nederlands don't stand a chance, Ivory Coast... not a chance either - in fact no African team has a hope in hell, the continents chance of shining was crippled by their best team being drawn with Portugal (who are also collectively shit) and Brazil... which due to this Dunga defensiveness are stupidly being written off...
Personally, I can't look past Spain, they're so epicly talented and have got a bunch of bench warmers that are as good as the best...
Whoa! take it easy...we're not as good as the "golden generation", and yes, lots of individual talent, and collectivelly...well, shit, ok you're right...
truth hurts. But maybe, just maybe, we can do it!
Brazil, Spain, Holland, England, France, Germany all have very good teams. But Spain are a good TEAM. I hope its a good tournament, with not too much fixing, besides helping SA go past the group stage. In other words, not another 2002 sham.
Maradona is not a "manager", hes a legend for inspiration, I doubt he even made many decisions, besides making sure Aguero was on the plane with Messi. Leaving Cambiasso and Zanneti behind are 2 epic fuck-ups or a master stroke of genius...up front theyre a formidable force, with riches & the luxury to choose from the talent!
