Argentina still team to beat in World Cup
Can Lionel Messi power Argentina towards World Cup glory?
You read it, one of the most talented footballers in the world, that being Lionel Messi, will be leading Argentina in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
That’s probably why many sports bettors are picking Argentina to win Group B, especially with the talent that they have.
Argentina is only the fourth of five qualifiers from 
South America, ahead of Uruguay, but behind Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.
Their main man, Lionel Messi, won the 2009 Ballon d’Or and was awarded the European Footballer of the Year.
Messi is the diamond that the whole world recognizes, while Sergio Aguero, another star Argentina can rely on the pitch, is another youngster on the rise. They also have Carlos Tevez, a skillful, hard-working striker.
In midfield, Javier Mascherano gives Argentina steel, while Juan Sebastián Veron is a good distributor of the ball.
Last year, Argentina played 13 matches, won eight of them and lost five. This is not the kind of record a country with Argentina’s proud history finds acceptable, especially when included among those results is a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of 56th ranked Bolivia.
Let’s see how they do come June in South Africa.
