Sepp Blatter (with a reluctance you can almost hear in his voice) says fifa have "No choice but to open an investigation into his rant."

Any chance of a punishment here? Any chance telling jounalists present to "suck it" repeatedly carries the same punishment as Drogba got for using a word commonly seen on British telelvision?

Personally, I was disappointed that Argentina made it into the finals, but if their play is just as lacklustre as it has been, they will probably be humiliated next summer.

It was the team that carried maradonna through, for him to take the "told you so" route, and telling the reporters to suck it, just shows how lucky he got

To have players like messi and aguero in your team and just scrape through dosent say much about him as a manager. he is the worse choice they could have gone with. Fantastic player-awful manager/

Yes they have great players and only scrapped through, but how many times do a side like this go on a win it? and only start playing well when it really starts to matter.

I've got a funny feeling they'll win it :D

me too... i dont think they will win it but i still think they are going to improve a lot and reach semi-finals or even the final...

You should know - being German

God I hope Argentina dont go on to win it. The levels of smarminess were bad enough after 2006 when Italy took it.

Im sure, if Maradonna stays on, they wont go that far. Maybe escape the group stage, but you cant really imagine someone like him coming up against the likes of Capello, tactically

i think south africa will be the tournament where messi confirms to the world that he is the greatest footballer to ever step onto the pitch

I hope the dirty scumbag gets battered 8-0 by Equatorial Guinea and is then exiled from football (life?) forever.

Thats definitely a bold statement, but his form and his team's form are going to have to improve drastically if thats gonna happen.

I watched some of their games expecting him to take the game over in the later stages,and just use his creative magic. He just doesnt seem to have the same brilliance away from Barca

would like to see messi attacking glen johnson on the wing ...

Anyone posted a link to articles by Patrick Barclay or Richard Williams calling for Argentina to be banned from the competition? Or maybe those two joke journos felt that punishment should only be dished out to us after Drogba swore at the camera?
