Is Diego Maradona The Weak Link For Argentina?

It is an undeniable fact that Argentina have a superb list of players on paper for the 2010 World Cup but that does not necessarily guarantee them of winning the World Cup.

It is plain to see that there is an abundance of talent in the final 23 but sometimes talent alone cannot be harnessed if the manager is not solely focused on the job at hand.

Diego Maradona is Argentina’s World Cup-winning golden boy despite all of his flaws and controversies and the destiny of the team relies on this man.

A genius on the pitch, Maradona has the ability to ruin everything for the South Americans who on paper could win the tournament today.

Players like Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Diego Milito, Sergio Aguero, Maxi Rodriguez, Gonzalo Higuain, Javier Mascherano…the list goes on…could produce what is required to win the world’s biggest sporting event but what stands in their way is not an opposition team, but the leader of their own camp.
