Why are so many people down on Argentina? They have like 3 different teams they could use this summer.?

Well when you say "so many people" you probably mean the English. The English generally hate the Argies ever since Diego Maradona's "hand of God" goal in the Mexico 1986 World Cup, in fact he cheated and got away with it. And then there was the Falklands conflict....

The better question is when will have better teams in the World Cup?  In some regions a lot better teams don't get in and some other regions get teams that aren't even competitive to meet the limit, but what are you gonna do.

Because there are more good teams on this continent. Even so, many European countries can’t be there, although they would be more deserving than some others.

its all to do with the number of games teams play and who they are against. i mean mexico played 25 games in the last year, the usa around 18. obviously they will have accumulated a lot of points, especially when they play teams from that region. i,e rubbish. whereas top european nations only played 9-13. its a joke really. here is my top ten\n\nbrazil\nargentina\nczech rep\nspain\ngermany\nholland\nfrance\nghana\nmexico\nportugal

I have said this on here b4, as most of pumas play in Europe, why not have 7 nations and pumas based in Spain?\nWhy kick Italy out, they have come on great since they joined 6 nations\nSurely the pumas, who play little competitive rugby on an international level would gain as well!

Some of them may be worthy enough to play in Europe but are loyal to Mexico and stay and play for club teams there. They are like the Italians, they are good enough to play anywhere but there is a sense of nationalism in both countries.

If your talking about messi. Probabaly not aganist milan unless they go down big in the first game. He hasn't been starting or even subing for them recently probably due to inexperiance.

Each team is different.

I'm not a good-weather fan so I'm supporting MY TEAM, as always: Germany. I don't know too many real soccer fans who don't support their homecountry. Yes, if you live in Canada (like I now do) or Austria *grin, didn't make it again* or Greece (damn, Euro champ and didn't qualify !) you perhaps pick another team or just watch to see the best teams in the world play the best game in the world in front of some of the best fans in the world in some of the most modern and comfortable (and cool looking as the Munich stadium is concerned) stadiums of the world. I can't wait !

It's a random selection but with guidelines:\n\nThere cannot be more than 2 European teams in one group, and 1 team per continent in each group.\nHighly ranked (England, Argentina, France, Mexico, Italy), home teams (Germany)  and defending champions (Brazil) are placed at the top of each group

Netherlands are a good and capable side but they struggled today to control their opposition. Argentina know how to perform under pressure and indicates with their crushing win V's Serbia that they are ready to perform. They know about the business end of the WC and I'm fairly certain they they will overcome the Netherlands on form shown thus far.

Watch a Boca Jrs. vs. River Plate game.  Your answer will be Argentina.  I have never been, but I can feel the electricity watching the game on television.  I can only imagine what it is like "live" en vivo.  The last time they played Diego Maradona had one leg and half his body hanging out of the sky box enjoying the game as much as the crowd.

The most under rated football team in the world would have to be Villarreal they are already in the champions league semi-final and although at this time are 1-0 down in aggregate, they are skill full, passionate and smart. With players like Sorin, Riqulme and Mari. First year in Europe and already in the Champions league semi's. The team with the cities population barely reaching 50,000 are a joy to watch.  And yes they are no Real Madrid, or Barcelona but La Liga is a joy to watch because of them.  Wait in a couple of years they will be a team not to mess with. They made Forlan one of the best strikers in Spain, and after the way he played in Manchester United I thought that would of never happened. Their will be more to come from this club, just wait and see.

No, and its not because I'm not rooting for them. It's just that they appear unorganized on the field. They remain on their turf for a majority of the game and when someone takes the offense and takes the ball 3/4 of the way there, they've got no back-up to help them score the goal. I think they did well during the Italy game, just a case of bad luck and a quick handed referee.

I highly doubt it.  They only have one player on their squad from international play and that makes it very hard to qualify against players who get so much competition in Premier league, Serie A, and Spanish Primera.  They haven't gotten past the first round and thats call for inexperience.
