10 days have passed since the opening game of this competition, and from that moment on Argentina's confidence has only grown larger and larger. Gonzalo Higuain is the top striker of this competition with three goals, while Gabriel Heinze has been an unexpected nightmare for most of his rivals. Lionel Messi, yet unable to taste the net has been the successful commander of Argentina's cruise and might even become the captain due to Javier Mascherano's absence.
Maradona's alternative squad up to a Greek feast
Argentina's debut match showed a few doubts in the last meters, but thanks to last week's 4-1 victory against Korea the situation has turned around completely. Sergio Aguero's performance in the last 15 minutes of the match (when he occupied Carlos Tevez's place) have earned him an opportunity to be within the starting eleven, joining Diego Milito in this alternative offensive trident Maradona is likely to employ against the Hellenics. Internazionale's top striker will have his first opportunity in South Africa, as Higuain and Tevez's excellent performance has relegated Il Principe to the bench from the first moment on African ground.
Argentina's back line will offer a new look for this match. Walter Samuel's muscular fatigue against Korea gave Nicolas Burdisso an opportunity to show his worth and he has not let down anyone, even assisting Higuain on Argentina's second goal. Jonas Gutierrez received his second yellow card, and thus will be missing this game. Nicolas Otamendi will most likely be the one to occupy Argentina's left band, while Clemente Rodriguez will take Heinze's place (who already received one yellow card) to better preserve him for the Knockouts.
