World Cup 2010

[ono]

I am seriously considering putting bets on Argentina winning the world cup what do people think?

Wouldn't waste your money mate. You'll get relatively shit odds because the team on paper looks much better than it is.

For Argentina, Messi is half the player he is for Barca. Infact i was reading an article in 4-4-2 and according to a poll in Argentina around 3/4's of Argentinian fans believed Messi's form at Barca to be a 'fluke' simply because he cannot turn it on for Argentina.

They don't retain the ball well at all so it means that Messi can not be effective in the final third as he has little support once he gets there. They are also likely to play with Otamendi at right back, who is really a centre back. This means he won't be over-lapping Messi much like Dani Alves does at Barca. Another reason why Messi isn't as effective.

So in short, i wouldn't waste your money.

yup

absoloutely no value betting that, id rather just stick a pound on the lottery than back an argentina coached by maddona

Well yeah, that's all with out factoring in Maradona who looks out of his depth as a coach.

On paper it's a class team aswell.
