With Argentina and England among the serious contenders for FIFA WC 2010, the off-field battle led by their managers Diego Maradonna & Fabio Capello would also play a significant role in their journey in the tournament. Maradona who had led Argentina in winning the championship in the year 1986 would be on the healm to win the championship for Argentina not using his legs but his tricks. Maradona heavily criticized by his critics for trying out more than 100 players within 18 months would be commanding his team to silence his critics. If Argentina succeeds in conquering the championship and Messi performs, the phenomenon “Messidona” would be etched in the history of football.
Capello has evinced great deftness in commanding his players by leading the team in winning nine out of ten qualifying games. Disciplinarian in approach, he would be counting on his star players like Rooney to repeat the winning history of 1966 for the “Three Lions”. Rooney has displayed excellent form in the field recently and would be among the ones who would implement the mind works of Fabio.
Both Fabio and Maradona have captured the attention of the football fans and it remains to be seen who would be elevated to the levels of demigods in their country.
