the last great English manager, Brian Clough (note i did not say manager of England, he was far too honest for that), stated that it was players that won matches, therefore irrespective of what Deigo likes to snort, i think the Argies have the players. Even Cloughie himself, was given to a 'few', beers and even encouraged his players to do the same, before major matches, in order to make them feel relaxed, controversial i know, but who can argue with success?
Ironically enough, the best 'English' coach is... Fabio Capello! Dang! 😛
...
Argentina has an awesome generation of players: Messi, Di Maria,
Higuaín, Tévez, Agüero, etc. would be stars in any team in the whole
world.
In really tough, tight, and even matches, how the coach envisions the
game and how the set pieces are performed/defended, makes the
difference.
If you are speaking about matches Argentina vs. Luxembourg, though,
you are absolutely right. The coach could be an action figure of Austin
Powers and the outcome would be the same.

i'm not going to go man for man down the team but other than messi there isn't another player there who would walk into the brazil side. i'm not saying they're a bad group of players i'm just saying that like england if they had a good coach who knew wft he was doing they would have a chance, they don't and they don't. last 16 if lucky, goodnight argentina.
england will find another way to mess up in the quarters or maybe semis, holland the same. spain/brazil final for me but possibly germany and italy in there as well just because they know how to win.

William Wallace got chopped up , Robert the Bruce was an English man .
You can saviour the world cup because you can support all the teams playing against England , but its a bit like tossing your self off over your best mates girl friend [ if your from Edingburgh ...his boy friend .
I dont even get the chance to laugh at Scotland in a major tournament anymore , its not fair . Ouch eye the Noooo Jimmy !!!! 🙂🙂🙂
