With this post I bring back my blog into life. What better occasion than resuming it from where we left...

MESSI is back! and this time with 4 more years of mesmerizing performance added to his name. The wonder kid has turned into a seasoned professional and who is standing by his side (though inches off the sideline)... the magician himself MARADONA. So, any guesses, who am I supporting in this "world coming to Africa" edition of FIFA Soccer World Cup 2010? Oh c'mon you know it by now.

Campaign started with 1-0 over Nigerians where Messi had at least 3 sure shots on the goal but the only one was scored by Heinze pretty early in the match. As always, Tevez remains most hard working and impressive on the forward half of the field. Veron lacked the luster in midfield and after 4 years also, defense still is the weakest link. No more comments on performance as its just the first match, but what pleased me is their good old style and strategy and no drastic experiments. Pleasure to watch ingenuity instead of ultra-trained players perfected to handle all moves by opposition.

Go Argentina Go!!!
