Argentina, Nigeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran have been drawn in Group F, with the Lionel Messi-captained side hugely tipped to secure the top spot in what observers see as a relatively easy group, when compared with others.
In their three previous confrontations with Argentina at the World Cup, the Eagles ended on the losing side and despite a resurgence in the attacking play of the African champions, Maradona, insisted that the current South American giants have enough firepower to see off all their prospective opponents in Brazil.
Speaking in an interview with TyC Sports in Argentina, Maradona said “I do not see any team in group F beating us. We are too strong for them. We are going to win our third World Cup. It is going to happen again in Brazil. Argentina will be champions of the world, but they are going to have to fight against the ‘morochos’ [Brazil]. They are very tough.. The success of 1986 will be repeated and it will be in Brazil.”
Taking a look at the other top teams that can give Argentina a good run for their money, Maradona said “Germany and Holland are in good shape, Italy not so much and Spain are getting bored of their own tactics. They go forward and forward, but cannot convert.”
Meanwhile, in order to get the team in top shape for the World Cup, football officials in Argentina confirmed last night that Argentina will play a friendly match against Slovenia on June 1, which is expected to be the team’s last match before their first Group match against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

ReplyDeleteNa boot go talk am, not Maradona. I still dey lafffff after Iyabo's letter.
ReplyDeleteMaradona or wat ever ur called ur self rememb say God resist d proud ones nd giv success 2 d humble, God pass u nd ur team.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a mere analysis of past performances between countries, but the current form that matter. Please note that there shall lot of surprises in this world cup. Argentina may not even qualifier from that group. However, the group is equally strong like other groups.
ReplyDeleteThe final qualification matches in Africa doesn't give us confident for now that any of the Africa representatives shall perform.
While, before the game, there may be tremendous improvement in the Africa terms.
Football is no mathematics and talking with finality is blasphemy. I will believe we should take it up as a challenge & lead and we need to face it with caution. Believe it or not there is no country in the world that will face Nigeria in football and will not shiver. Thank God we are coaching our-self now. The coaching crew need to brush up as I am very sure that we will shock the world with our performance next year in Brazil. With hard-work, prayer, cooperation by all and consistency, the football world should be ready for the surprise coming from Nigeria football house as I am tipping the Super Eagles to lift the cup. We can do it and we will do it. May God help Nigeria. Toks
