The Argentine team had a lot of questions hanging over its head when it entered the 2010 World Cup wagering competition. The squad had grabbed a spot only in its last qualifying game of the tournament, barely even qualifying for the World Cup odds tournament. And the antics of the squads coach Diego Maradona throw considerable doubt over this squad’s chances in the World Cup wagering competition, as if the questionable play of the squad was not enough to get soccer online betting supporters worried.

Maradona, the same competitor who won the World Cup odds tournament for Argentina as a competitor in 1986 and is revered as a god in soccer-mad Argentina, had employed over 100 players in the handful of games he coached in the qualifying rounds of the World Cup wagering tournament and all his competitor combos had failed stunningly.

But all of that is ancient history now as Argentina has owned in the 2010 World Cup wagering competition and looks unstoppable as it heads into its quarterfinal game with Germany this Saturday. It has yet to lose a competition in South Africa and ran up a perfect 3-0 track record and 9 point total in the group stages. It’s pulled in 10 goals via 4 games and allowed just 2 for a championship best goal differential of +8.

But Germany will be the best squad that Argentina has seen in the World Cup wagering competition so far and it will need to be at its greatest. The offense, directed by FIFA World Player of the Year Lionel Messi, has been racing at full throttle since the first whistle of the championship. They have played 90 minutes of attack and held the other squad’s defense under fire for of the World Cup wagering competition.

But Germany has a lot of speed up the middle and may possibly slow the speedy forwards of Argentina. It’ll be tough to get better on this unit’s performance as it is been so great, but Argentina will need to try and work the outside a little better than it has in recent matches.

The Argentine defense, though, is a quite dissimilar story. Competing with so many players forward the Argentine side is always in continuous danger of being beat by the counter attack. With a bit of patience and speed it is not tough to get shots on Argentina’s goal, as we saw versus Mexico (and even versus Nigeria in its World Cup wagering starter).

The two squads have a lengthy history of competition at the World Cup. They exchanged World Cup championships in back-to-back finals 20 years ago, and that’s when it started. Then the two squads in fact traded a few punches and kicks in a scuffle after Germany eliminated Argentina in penalty kicks four years ago, also in the quarterfinals.

And now the two squads have been swapping trash talk and bravado, going back and forth the last couple of days. The Germans are plainly trying to rattle Argentina, knowing Maradona has a temper. They might just be trying to work him up so he makes a foolish decision with his own squad in the approaching game.
