“The media thinks we are going to finish last and that gives us immense strength. In 1986 they also said we were going to be last in Mexico, and we were first, and I continually remind the players of that,” Argentina football manager Diego Maradona told World Soccer magazine. “But I have the feeling that the people are behind us. I repeat, we are not going to South Africa as favorites, but we hope to get as far as possible."
