WORLD CUP 2014

World Debate: Why not Argentina qualify for World Cup

Argentina has struggled a lot during the World Cup classification, and now with the left not too long in the competition Albiceleste risk losing the competition in total. Gregory Sica explains why we could lose ...

Believe it or not, but it is very likely that Argentina will not qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Each statement must be backed up with proof and evidence, and not too much time on the left of South America World Cup qualifiers there is reason to believe that Argentina lost.

Argentina are currently in fourth place of the ten teams in the group, a situation that they automatically qualify for the tournament, but the moral is not only low, but at the time in Argentina are the team who have the time of closure of the ten teams.

Argentina in the final four qualifiers they face Brazil (1st place), Paraguay (2nd place), Peru (10th) and Uruguay (6th place). In addition to the game with Peru, Argentina faced with three very tough teams that have struggled against in recent times.

When the qualifiers resume in September Albiceleste assume the group leaders South America Brazil in Buenos Aires. Will not only be forced to win by the home fans, but if they lose the game Brazil could guarantee qualification for the World Cup. Brazil will be motivated by this, and the strength of his squad Dunga also suggests collecting the three points.

Argentina were losing in the final against Brazil in recent times, and Seleçao who beat up 3-0 in the final of the Copa America 2007, will enter the clash as the overwhelming favorite.

Next up are Paraguay, Argentina referred to a team with 1-1 in Buenos Aires, and one that has made life very difficult for the Argentines in the past too. Paraguay could also closing in on World Cup berth with a victory and will surely be very happy to do this at home against Argentina in Asuncion.

While Argentina is expected to beat Peru, which also noted with 1-1 in the first round, the latest accessory is fierce against the neighboring Uruguay, a team that traditionally have trouble with. The last time the teams met in a classification in the World Cup in Montevideo, Uruguay won 1-0, and Uruguayans certainly try to inflict another defeat on their rivals River Plate.

Of the four games it would be fair to say that Argentina could take between 3-6 points. If you seek this amount of points that could be excluded from an automatic berth in the World Cup. Basically, Argentina could face a two-legged playoff with a team from the CONCACAF region, if they end up in fifth place.

In the 1994 World Cup of this classification is the case, and Argentina only managed to qualify for the World Cup after defeating Australia 2-1 added to the playoff.

With only 6 wins in 14 qualifiers, it is clear that Argentina has struggled. Diego Maradona's appointment has not done any favors, not only are dropping in points, but they are playing horribly. With the abundance of talent in his squad argentina should be in the first two positions of the World Cup classification, but are struggling just to qualify for the tournament.

Argentina international superstars like Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano and Sergio Aguero have played well below their potential, and this has affected the team as a whole. Maradona has yet to get the best of his players.

Times are certainly challenging for the Argentina camp, and unless you reverse the situation immediately is a must to qualify for the World Cup. That would not only be a disaster for Argentina, but for football in general. source goal.com
