Maradonna has already said that he considers Messi a greater football player than himself. I have no doubt that he will do everything within his coaching power to make this team succeed. Football is not just a sport in Argentina. It's everything. I only doubt Maradonna's capacities as a coach.

2 games in the bag up until this point. SA-MEX was pretty entertaining. Great great goal by Shabalala.

FRA-URU was boring as hell. France was the superior team but due to their lousy coach they played a tactic that couldn't succeed; they have great wingers but no one from the midfield who arrives in the penalty area to make use of these crosses from the flanks. Combine this with URU who were happy with a 0-0 and you get 90' of boredom.
