First a backgrounder of their humble beginnings. A surprise was made by Switzerland in Group 2. The Schweizer Nati finished ahead of Greece and brag about a generation of players that is reaching maturity and the recently winners, U-17 world champions just waiting in the sideline. 2004 European champions Greece got their spot due to a slim play-off win against Ukraine (0-0, 1-0), who was unable to give Andriy Shevchenko his last FIFA World Cup.

Greek Theofanis Gekas, 29, is a qualifying top scorer with 10 goals, even with Angelos Charisteas being another Greek candidate for the position. Wolfsburg’s forward Edin Dzeko also showed good form with nine times in the campaign.

The team is a hard nut to break under Otto Rehhagel. The 2004 European champions return to world football’s top table for the first time since they started in 1994. With a solid front and back positions, King Otto’s well oiled charges will be unwavering to keep away from what happened in the American adventure, which got them three straight losses. The Greek camp should be more confident after they edged out 2006 quarter-finalists Ukraine for the European Zone play offs.

Argentina dragged themselves over the limit at the end of a crusade that produced more questions than answers. National idol Diego Maradona took over the coaching duties from Alfio Basile on Match day 11, which endured several buffeting blows, with a disastrous 6-1 defeat in Bolivia and a 3-1 win at home against arch rival Brazil. Yet, just when it was like green and go, it looked like they might slip out, La Albiceleste came up with a last minute winner versus Peru and then recorded a win at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo to make certain of their position. That loss was not very damaging for Uruguay who won over Costa Rica after being dispatch to the play-offs for the third straight time.

Argentina coach Diego Maradona said from the bottom of his heart, he will dedicate their qualification to the people of Argentina and to them alone, the people who believed in him. There are also some sections of people who don’t deserve it and they know who they are. He recalls those things that some people who didn’t believe in the team and his leadership, those who treated him like rubbish. Now all he has to say is that they are in the World Cup and they intend to give it everything they’ve got to win. With Argentina on the war path, this World Cup 2010 Greece vs. Argentina will be a very classic match up.
