VM

Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi arrived (som tredje lag) in South Africa on Saturday with the Argentina squad to prepare for a FIFA World Cup™ in which they are among the favourites to win.


Clear skies and cool early morning autumn conditions greeted the third team to land in South Africa after Asia powerhouse Australia and five-time champions Brazil for the June 11 - July 11 international football showcase featuring 32 national teams.

After a brief session with select TV crews and photographers, coach Maradona, Barcelona superstar Messi and a mix of foreign-based and domestic stars left in a brightly painted luxury coach for their Pretoria base. Football legend Maradona - who is bidding to add FIFA World Cup glory as coach to the 1986 trophy he won as a player - drew huge crowds wherever he went during a pre-tournament inspection visit to South Africa and is set to be among the most colourful characters at the first African World Cup.

Forza Argentina!
