Some of his decisions are confusing. He has recalled some players like Pablo Aimar and Martin Palermo who had played for Argentina long back and are past their prime. He continues to ignore some experienced Europe based players like Javier Zanetti, Walter Samuel, Gabriel Heinze, Fernando Gago, Gonzalo Higuain, Diego Milito and Lisandro Lopez. Hopefully, Argentina qualifies.
Its really difficult to imagine World cup without argentina.. Maradona, Pele and Zinadin Zidane are greatest soccer players and hope that Maradona and his team will come out with flying colours against Peru and Uruguae to qualify for World cup
How can one imagine a FWC without Argentina,a Titan in the Mount Olympus of football! We wish to bedazzled by the glory of Messi and Co.Its a pity that Argentina wud hav to qualify in such a manner.But similar predicament has befallen on Portugal,Czech Republic,Germany,Turkey,France etc.Lets hope we can see all these mighty teams in FWC 2010!

It was not a great idea to make the best player of his times the coach because that typically creates ego clashes in the team. And Maradona was never known as a great team leader. He used to be a one-man show on field. Everybody knows his solo runs in innumerable matches as if there was no colleague of his on the field. Kudos to him for being such a magician with the ball. Unfortunately he has failed as a coach. But I strongly doubt if he is unsuccessful or if the whole team lacks the patriotic feeling. Else how can you explain the repeated failures of Argentina in cup after cup despite comprising of players like Messi, Tevez, Heinz et al who are so successful at club level. Elimination even before the final rounds was coming - Argentina could not see it over the last 2 years !!
