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.

World Cup Qualifier: England 5-1 Croatia

England thrashed Croatia comprehensively in a 5-1 victory at Wembley to book their place at the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.

The hosts took the lead after eight minutes when Josip Šimunić hopelessly clobbered Aaron Lennon inside the area and Frank Lampard expertly despatched the spot-kick into the corner.

Steven Gerrard then doubled the lead 10 minutes later as he rose at the back post to head home Lennon's deep cross.

England added a third in the 59th minute when Lampard headed home a Glen Johnson cross. Six minutes later Gerrard headed a fourth after Wayne Rooney did really well to hook the ball back from the by-line.

Eduardo replied for the Croats in the 73rd minute, but Rooney scored a fifth after goalkeeper Vedran Runje passed straight to him.

The qualifying campaign has been an astounding success for England. Actually, they have the players to be world-beaters all along. It is just that they are short of confidence and underachieve their potential.

With Fabio Capello at the helm and humiliating Croatia in this manner, I think England fans can finally dream of World Cup glory next summer.

World Cup Qualifier: Brazil 3-1 Argentina



No smiles for Diego Maradona who is coming under increasing pressure as coach of Argentina.

The prospect of not qualifying for the World Cup is very real and the problem is Diego Maradona doesn't seem able to put the situation right, even with so many talents at his disposal.

For this national idol, the unimaginable sacking may come very soon.
