ARGENTINA FANS - PLAN YOUR 2010 WORLD CUP TRIP & FOLLOW THE TEAM
Argentina is probably one of the most fascinating teams in the tournament.
They have the talent it to win it all with Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez
and Sergio Aguero. However, the behavior of their coach, Diego Maradona,
could be their ruin.
One thing is for sure, the Albicelestes can make plenty of noise either
good or bad. Most of Argentina's hopes are endowed in Lionel Messi, widely
revered as the best footballer in the world.

MORE ABOUT
THE ARGENTINA TEAM
FIFA ranking: 9
Nickname(s): Albicelestes (White and Sky blue)
Head Coach: Diego Maradona
Captain: Javier Mascherano
Team Base Camp: Pretoria High Performance Centre, University of Pretoria
Lionel Messi has consistently shined in his role for Barcelona. La Pulga
(The Flea) has yet to fire on a regular basis in the famous blue and
white striped shirt, something he will be hoping to make amends for
in South Africa.
"I tell my players that 30 days of sacrifice for the chance to kiss
the World Cup is nothing in the life of a man. An achievement like that
is like touching the sky. I played in World Cups and I reached two Finals.
I know what it takes. I know how to lead the group and how to coach
the players. I've earned the right to talk about the subject. I didn't
come eighth, ninth or get knocked out in the first round. I know something
about this." Coach Diego Maradona
