It is interesting to see how managers build their teams in their own images. While Dunga builds Brazil to reflect his defensive mindset (more on this later), Maradona loaded up on the attackers and made some dubious choices on defenders - not including Zanetti and Cambiasso (both fresh off being the European treble winners with Inter Milan) but instead relying on the old and slow Heinze (who was discarded by Manchester United years ago). With the best firepower in the tournament, Argentina should win the group comfortably.I have always been a fan of speedy Obafemi Martins but he is past his prime and so is Kanu. Nigeria's match against South Korea will be the game to watch as they both fight for 2nd place. The South Koreans have a good blend of toughness, skills, experience and hard work. I fancy them to go the farthest representing Asia. Greece should be a non-factor other than taking points off teams that are not careful.
