The day was busy. Many important matches going on at the same time and some countries can
already rest assured to be visiting South Africa next June. The happy faces of the day? Paraguay,
Spain and England.
Paraguay played in style and beat Argentina to give the hermanos more headache.
Diego Maradona has a penchant for showing the world what happens when infinite hubris and infinite
ineptitude meet personal benefit.
According to Argentine sports daily Olé Maradona is flying to Europe to face the players that he
once had as indisputable in his previous callups and tell them that they will not be a part of the
national team in the upcoming friendly against Ghana on September 30th and in the final two matches
in World Cup qualifying play against Peru and Uruguay.
Now is not a particularly good time to be an Argentinian. Not only have their most loathed
opposition Brazil and England already qualified for the finals of the 2010 World Cup, but there is
a serious likelihood that the Albiceleste themselves might not even qualify for next year's
tournament in South Africa, and coach Diego Maradona is receiving hitherto criticism in his home
country.
The September 5th encounter between the Albiceleste and Seleccao fast approaches.
If there are any indications who feels most pressure, do not look to Dunga. The Seleccao are a
team where the sum of the parts equals the whole. A physical and intimidating defense, a potent
offense, and a creative midfield combining to form a well oiled machine that is firing on all
cylinders.
When things could not be worse for the Argentine football federation, they did. A group of hackers
calling themselves KKR were able to access the federation's website and place a picture of head
coach Diego Maradona with a Brazilian jersey. Underneath the still they added "a picture is worth a
thousand words.
