 Diego Maradona should feel the same anticipation and pressure that was upon him in the 1986 World Cup when he steps on the pitch in South Africa this June, but this time as the Argentine head coach. El Diez will lead Argentina as 13-2 favorites in 2010 World Cup betting odds to win the tournament as well as -200 to win the Group B division. Maradona named six home based players from the Argentinean league on his preliminary roster this week. Lionel Messi (Barcelona) will be a welcomed fixture for the Argentine squad along with Carlos Tévez (Machester City), Juan Sebastian Veron, Diego Pozo and Martin Palermo. “Everyone in Argentina has their list but this is mine and I live and die by my 23 players,” said Maradona this week. Messi was forced to leave early after a training injury on Friday and sat out of Saturday's 5-0 win against Canada but team doctors and teammates say that he is fine and will be ready to go when the games start in June. "Messi's fine. It was just a knock," said midfielder Veron. Maxi Rodriguez (Liverpool) netted two goals in the win vs Canada while Angel Di Maria (Benfica) Tevez and Sergio Aguero all found the back of the net for the Albicelestes. Bet Argentina 13-2 as a favorite in odds to win in 2010 World Cup odds. Argentina will face off against a favorable bracket as -200 World Cup betting favorites against Nigeria, Korea Republic and Greece. Their first match will be against Nigeria on June 12th at 16:00 with Argentina the -185 favorites. There is much expectation and pride for Maradona's squad this year but he doesn't doubt his team chances one bit. “We’re all here now and it doesn’t matter who comes from where. I’ve got 23 Argentina players who are going to fight all the way in South Africa.” Bet Argentina -200 as the favorite to win the Group B bracket in South Africa with a free $10 bet.
