Actually, he did say that Brazil has the greatest chance on winning the World Cup. And, ahead Argentina in the odds, there are England, Germany or Italy.

“If not Brazil, then England, Germany or Italy, who are much sharper,” Maradona said, adding that Argentina’s experience at the 2002 finals - when they were eliminated in the first phase - showed the jury was still out.

“I don’t think you can either have confidence in or underestimate Argentina after what happened in 2002. Everyone was saying we were going to win it but we got knocked out in the first round,” Maradona said.

“The key will be making sure that our best players are in Germany and are in a good condition physically,” he added, stating that midfielder Javier Mascherano and Barcelona’s teenage prodigy Lionel Messi would be crucial.
