Maradona out ?


Buenos Aires - The National team of Argentina is on an edge of losing his their chance to compete at 2010 World Cup Finals, first since 1970.

This happen after a defeat from Paraguay by 0-1 Thursday 10/9. Not long after Argentina Crushed by his very rival Brazil by 1-3.

Argentina fans could not restrain themselves anymore and demand a change in the coach seat. They could not belive that their favourite team will be absent next year at 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa.

It's hard to imagine that we cannot see the world best player Lionel Messi to play next year in South Africa.

Rumour said the AFA - Argentina Football Association has decided to replace Maradona authority in choosing the squad and the starting line up in the last two games against Peru and Uruguay.

So how will Maradona's fate lead him in the National team of Argentina or will he make some miracle ?
