Argentinas World Cup draw preview

GROUP B ArgentinaNigeriaSouth Korea GreeceAfter a gruelling qualification campaign, Argentina have been handed a relatively comfortable group at the 2010 World Cup. Diego Luke Farrell Jersey Maradonas side shouldnt fear the Greeks, Nigerians or Koreans with their vast resources. The only stumbling block could be if Maradonas eccentric squad selections continue which is entirely po sible.If the Argies do manage to qualify in the expected top spot, their knock out draw is fairly kind if the seeded nations progre s as expected. A probable 2nd round draw against either South Africa, Uruguay or Mexico would see Argentina as the favourites. In particular, a match against Uruguay would be memorable as the two are bitter rivals although they would be Matt Moore Jersey the biggest threat to a place in the last eight. The quarter finals would see Maradonas Dak Prescott Jersey management credentials tested to the limit with a likely battle against the Germans who always tend to sneak through to the latter stages of the major tournaments. Whether Argentina can progre s any further with Maradona as manager remains to be seen.ARGENTINA SQUADMaradonas squad selection over the past qualification campaign has been so unpredictable that it would be foolish to try and predict his 23 man squad for the World Cup in June. However, here is a shortlist of players that are in with a chance of making the plane to South Africa.

However, weakne ses amongst the coaching staff and problems in getting the best out of star player Lionel Me si will probably see them progre s no further than the quarter finals.
