I am backng Trinidad until we get knocked out. I love my country but this is football and even I know our limitatons..... if was ah pan competition or ah soca playoff yes I would hold on to the flag but beyond national pride there is itltle else to hold on to for that prize.
I cant see anyone disputing the fact that Brazil are deserving favourites but I am pluggng for their ach rivals and South american neighbours Argentina. Brazil for me will suffer from sameness and tiredness...to much football, as all their stars will be involved in tough competition until the very end, a situation which saw Greece winning the Euro Cup not because they were the best team but because they were the best rested tem.
The blue and whites or albicilestes as they are known can play with the best. ths year look out for Riquelme,the conductor of the band, Mascherano, Messi and Gonzalo Rodriguez.
These are all young players with Messi beng crowned best young player of the year by the Italian press but havng to share the title with a young 17 year old who is deemed ...what do you expect....the next Maradona.
This guy Sergio Aguero is hot ! He has already played a season and a half in Agentina for Independente and scored 9 goals in the opening tournament( Apertura )
Pekerman now has the same decision Menotti had to make in 1986...to choose between the young star Argero or the experience of Figueroa.
Menoti chose experience opting for Kempes instead of the young Maradona and the rest is history.
I dont believe the group is beyond Argentina and is not any group of death. If Agentina cant get out of this group ...then I may have to eat all the grass in the queen's Park savannah !
