More Trouble For Argentina Football: Argentina 1-0 Paraguay

Argentina may still holds its World Cup destiny in its own hands but their poor form after losing to Brazil and now this 1-0 defeat to Paraguay indicates a team without commitment and do not know how to attack and defend properly.

After 94 minutes of play, Paraguay had qualified for their fourth consecutive World Cup while Argentina suddenly found themselves a loss away from missing their first World Cup in 40 years.

Diego Maradona has to eradicate defensive problems fast, starting by benching Gabriel Heinze who put in another sub par performance.

There is no bigger sleeping giant in world football than Argentina. Once they awaken, the world will tremble. But for now they continue to hibernate.

Maradona is about to become a reviled sinner for subjecting a proud footballing nation to shame. Knowing when to step down is crucial, don't wait till all is lost. I really hate to see this, arguably most gifted player of our generation, losing his reputation.
