Argentina, will history come down to Maradona again?

If you are a soccer fan, you know that Argentina is one of the biggest national team in the world. You also know that Argentina has not won a major championship for a long time and that they won their last world cup in 1986 thanks to one of the greatest soccer player of all time. Now if you are up to date you know that this soccer player is now the head coach of Argentina national team. This soccer player is Diego Armando Maradona also known as “El Pibe de Oro”. What is the situation today?

The situation today is that Argentina is not even in a good position to qualify for the world cup in South Africa. Argentina is in fourth position with four games left. In this group only four teams qualify directly for the world cup and the fifth team goes in a two legs game where the winner is qualify. Argentina has to play against Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, they need all 12 points from these games to go to the world cup. Is Argentina capable of dealing with it?

Argentina has the best player in the world Lionel Andres Messi, they have great figures like Aguero, Tevez, Mascherano, Gago, Maxi Rodriguez, De Michelis who great players playing in great clubs. With the history in soccer of Argentina, with the fact that they have the best player in the world and other very good players they should be able to deal with it. But the question remains is Maradona the man for this task?

For sure Maradona is not a great coach, or he has not proved it yet. But no doubt that Maradona loves this team, no doubt he knows a lot about soccer and no doubt he will do his best for that. In a recent interview with “Fifa.com” he declares that he has no doubt that Argentina will qualify, he says he has done and can do it again. Again if you are a good soccer fan you know that Maradona has played four World Cups, playing in two finals and and winning it once. No doubt that he knows a lot more about World Cup than some other coaches, no doubt he is a great motivator and no doubt he is a big plus for the team because of what he represents. Will Maradona bring Argentina to the World Cup? Will he win it? Will he bring a major competition to Argentina again? Let’s be patient and wait for what will happen, good luck Argentina.
