i think theyll be the same old as always, theyll play well in one game and have a scape goat to murder in the press, a massive meh fest really.

i do think the argies will be awesome though.

The last world cup finals, over 5 games of football England offered a combined total of 20 minutes of excitment, the remainder was fucking dire.

As for Argies, I think it could go either way. They could be 'all that', or they could be what everyones expects to be a car crash from Maradona.

I really wouldnt be shocked if either happened. I do think the squad of players are so good that they can fix anything maradona does wrong.

I hope so. The potential they have for brilliance is that squad is astounding - if they produce anything like what they'll be capable of, they'll be brilliant.
