This is a must win situation for both of the teams. Uruguay vs Argentina match of 14 October 2009 has perhaps more attraction to the fans than most of World Cup matches that would take place next year in South Africa. The stakes are too high- winner takes all. Yes, it is literally winner takes all game. There are too many permutations and combinations involving the match. In mathematical calculation, Venezuela has still some kind of chance to qualify but I don’t think it will happen. It is upto Uruguay, Argentina and Ecuador to become 4th and fifth.
One thing is in favor of Uruguay. They are playing at home and this is a big advantage for them. In fact, in the stadium they are playing tonight, it is a mighty venue for them. They have defeated most of the big names in World football in the past here. So, this should give them a lot of confidence.
Argentina football team is perhaps at its worst condition today. Well, the main reason for it is perhaps that most of the players play outside of the country and thus, they do no have any kind of good understanding. In Messi, they have perhaps the best player in the world today but behind Messi, the midfield looks shaky. So, I am not that much hopeful today. I think that Uruguay will win or it will be a draw. Well, things can go otherwise if Messi can show his magic. I hope that Messi can really do something extra ordinary tonight. Then anything can happen. Many people think that Messi is the next Maradona.
Many websites will give live score of the match. So, if you are afootball fan then you can enjoy the match either in TV or in Internet.
If Argentina loses the match on 14 October 2009 then it will be the end of the road for Maradona as the coach of national football team. He is considered to be one of the two greatest players of all time. Surely, we don’t want to see such in inglorious farewell for him. Biplob Kishore Deb has written a very nice detailed entry about the match in Sports37: Argentina vs Uruguay Preview & Live Score
If you read it then you will get all kind of information about the match. Biplob is a very good writer and he is passionate about sports.
Anyway, the current form of Argentina national team perhaps does not create much hope in the mind of passionate supporters like me. In the last match against Peru, they could not play that well. I expected them to win by a huge margin but they just won the match by 2-1. This time, the match will take place in Uruguay and their luck also depends on the outcome of this match. It is a do or die for both of them. So, if you are a supporter of Maradona then please pray for him.

I was awake until 7 AM my local time here in Bangladesh to watch the Argetina vs Peru match and give live updates. The TV camera was all the time showing the face of Diego Maradona. He looked pale and depressed. In the first half, his team played very well but could not score any goal. He looked very frustrated when the players missed one after another opportunity. In fact, in the first half, Argentina should have scored at least 3 goals but they missed a lot.
In the second half, two bad things happened. Peru players looked more fresh and very bad rain and wind came. Maradona got the goal in the 47th minute and it looked that they would win the match by 1-0. However, the home fans suffered a huge shock when in the 90th minutes, Peru got the equalizer. So, it looked that everything finished for Argentina. It seemed to me that God was with Maradona and in the 3rd minute of injury time, Palermo scored the goal and we saw the celebration of the coach. In fact, after the match, it was Maradona who celebrated more than the players.
God was really with him earlier today. Brazil, Paraguay, and Chile have already ensured their place for South Africa 2010. Ecuador lost to Uruguay by 1-2 and it helped Argentina to go to the fourth position. The last match will take place on 14 October 2009 and Messi and his teammates will face Uruguay. If they defeat Uruguay then they will go to South Africa without any problem. Even if they draw, they have good chance but if they lose then it will be a very difficult thing for them.
So, it was just another night for Diego Maradona as national football coach of Argentine team. He is the national hero of his country men. He can be expelled from this status on 14th October 2009.
Diego Maradona has millions of fans around the world. He is undoubtedly one of the two greatest footballers of all time- the other being Pele. Maradona is now a coach and in fact, he is the coach of Argentine national football team. The team is in serious danger at this moment. In fact, there is a strong possibility that in 2010 World Cup final stage, there will be no Argentina. At this moment, they are at the fifth position in CONMEBOL (South America) zone. The first four teams are assured of direct qualification. The fifth team will have to play against 4th placed team from CONCACAF Qualification country in a home and away play-off match.
So, even if Argentina can remain in the fifth position then they still have some kind of chance. However, judging by the current performance, even the most die hard fan of this team is not optimistic. Since, Maradona is now the coach, a lot of blame goes towards him. That is why; I think that if Argentina draws or loses the match against Peru then it will be the last day for him as the coach of the national team.
My fellow blogger Biplob Kishore Deb is a die hard fan of Brazil and he is all against Argentina. However, he is hoping that Argentina can qualify because he thinks that World Cup without Messi will lose its major attraction. Biplob has written long and detailed entry about Argentina vs Peru match.
I am a passionate supporter of this team. I hope that Maradona and his boys can thrash Peru by at least 6-7 goals in the match. Messi is an important player and he must try his best that day.
Lionel Messi is perhaps the best player in the world and he is playing for Barcelona for he is very successful. Last year Barcelona won almost everything. Barcelona won the trophy of La Liga and UEFA champions’ league. This is great achievement for any player and there is a strong possibility that he will become the FIFA player of the year for 2009. Well, the problem is that now he is not equally successful with his country Argentina national football team. You know that Argentina national football team is almost now on the threat of getting out of the final stage of world cup football 2010 which will take place next year in South Africa.
Coach Diego Maradona's team, who lost their last two qualifiers 3-1 to Brazil and 1-0 in Paraguay, are in fifth place in the South American group, which is a playoff berth.
"I alone won't win a match...this is down to all of us who are in the team," Messi told a radio station in Rosario, the city of his birth.
Messi thinks that the criticism against him is just unfair. He believes that football is not a match of one player only. He is trying his best but if Argentina has to quality then all the eleven players have to play very well. This is true and at the same time I like to say that the other players have to come forward and take their responsibility. Messi is not playing bad but he needs a lot of support especially from mid-field players if Argentina wants to go to the final. However, this Barcelona player is confident that they can indeed qualify.
