Argentina, The champions of 1978 and 1986—are still top favourite






Argentina, which is the runners-up in the first World Cup, has continued their forms. Argentina were champions in 1978 and 1986 and were about to own the trophy in 1990 before losing 1-0 to West Germany in the final. They are still one of the most favourite teams in the world cup 2010.

But the scenery has changed a lot from the past.When Argentina won in 1986, the tricks were very simple- just give the ball to Maradona, so El Diego can be forgiven for struggling with the finer points of football playing systems. Now the coach Maradona may have planned many other tricks to win the trophy.

Argentina team is also known as- La Albiceleste, after their famous white and sky-blue shirts.

The most favourite player in this world cup is Lionel Messi who is the 865th new Maradona and the only one to deserve the tag. Argentina has built their team around him and there is no way of denying his importance. Once he has the ball, it needs to pass it through the goal post.The 22-year-old winger Angel di María's skill and ability to score from distance have seen his price tag rise to £35m, which puts him at the lower end of City's budget.Gabriel Heinze never met a shinbone he didn't want to nestle his studs into and when he sought a move to Liverpool he became a hate figure for Manchester United fans.

Argentina team is very much appreciated for their team management. Maradona has not been steady but the attacking possibilities are fabulous, with Messi accompanied by Sergio Agüero and Carlos Tévez. We can hope for an excellent performing Argentina in world cup 2010.
