It seems to happen every time, no matter how they do the final draw – there always is a group
of death. This is when more big-name contenders are placed in a group than there are places in the
knockout rounds.
One Group with Many Favourites
We have seen that previous World Cup draws have almost always thrown up at least one section
brimming with pre-tournament favourites, and when after the first phase, is over, one or two of
them invariably find themselves packing for home.
Well Maradona's boys are on their way to South Africa. To the delight of this football crazy
nation, the two time World cup winners (1978 and 1986) managed to pull off a 1 – 0 score. A
solitary goal from Mario Bolatti gave them victory over their worthy opponents at the Estadio
Centenario, Montevideo in Uruguay last night in front of a very disappointed home crowd.
