History of Argentina football in World Cup:

against the host Uruguay)
1978 - Winners (Key player: Mario Kempes)
1986 - Winners (Key player: Diego Maradona )
1990 - Runners up (Key player: Diego Maradona )
In last FIFA WC (2006), they were knocked out from the quarter final by the host nation Germany after a thrilling penalty shootout match.
Road to South Africa WC 2010:
It’s a long and most difficult journey for Argentina football team to qualify for World Cup 2010. They faced a big 6-1 defeat in hand of Bolivia in world cup qualifier. But they showed their class in last few matches and came from behind and booked their place in WC 2010 after they end at 4<sup>th</sup> position with 28 points.
Messi and Maradona Magic in WC 2010:
The legend Diego Maradona selected as a coach of Argentina for WC 2010 campaign. Other side the 21 year Argentina super star Lionel Messi played some beautiful and most amazing football throughout the season for Barcelona. Maradona is very proud on Messi. If the combination of Messi and Maradona work properly then they can easily touch the World cup wining moment for 3<sup>rd</sup> time in history of Argentina football. The relation between both of them is very good still now and it’s a very good sign for Argentina football.
Power of Argentina Team:
1. Argentina players get the most experienced and legendary footballer Diego Maradona as coach of their national team.
2. Messi, the FIFA footballer of the year (2009), play some extraordinary football from last few years.
3. Sergio Agüero, Carlos Tevez are both in good form and they each scored many goals for their clubs in this season. So, their attacking is very strong with the presence of some player like Messi and Tevez.
Weakness of Argentina Team:
1. Argentina defense is very poor, as a result their GA(goals against) tally reached the 20 mark at only 18 matches during the world cup qualifier.
2. They have skills but not power like Germany and Italy.
Key players:
Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, Juan Riquelme, Gabriel Milito, Adrian Samuel, Gabriel Heinze, Javier Zantti, Fernando Gago, Maxi Rodriguez, Juan Veron, Alberto Diego Milito, Gonzalo Higuain.
Some recent Performance:
Germany 0:1Argentina Argentina 2 : 1Jamaica
Argentina 3 : 2 Costa Rica Spain 2 : 1 Argentina
Current Rank in the World: 9<sup>th</sup>
Overall:
Now we will wait some more days for World Cup 2010 and also we will wait to watch how Argentina performs in WC 2010. Maradona, the hand of god will give some spiritual performance as a coach, like he got success as a player in international level. So, it’s big question that Maradona can do it as a coach which he did as a player in 1986 WC.
