There were shouts, but tbh, would be harsh on someone who's led the team to the Copa América and is yet to lose to Argentina with the full team.

I guess so, but i read on Tim Vickery's BBC column a few weeks back that they where referin th Dunga as Brazil version of Steve Mclaren hahaha, which shows that the Brazilian football fans really don't like him.

The Argentina coach - Alfio Basile - has been sacked, at least.

I thought he resigned. Whether he was pushed is another matter.

Pushed for sure.
It's funny how important Riquelme is to the Argies though. Such an amazingly taleneted player.

Qualifying draw for Africa:
Beeb claims Egypt's group is easy, which I suppose it is on previous form - only Zambia have made it to the African Cup of Nations since 2004, and Rwanda have only managed it once. Both Algeria (knocked out Senegal) and Rwanda (beat Morocco at home) in fine form though. Kenya have been given a tough draw - Nigeria won six out of six Tunisia have a squad of European mercenaries and also draws from one of the best club sides in Africa, the Star of Sahel. Ivory Coast and Ghana both face tricky West African opposition, while Togo seems to have regressed to the mean and shouldn't bother Cameroon and Morocco.
Dates: 28 March, 6 June, 20 June, 5 September, 10 October, 14 November.

Diego Maradona - success or not? Don't know if he has any coaching record to his name. A big fat zero is all that I can think of.
Guess BB's hate of Argentine football went up several notches
(BTW Smith I knew that this was about to happen from reports in the last couple of days, I was just waiting for it to be confirmed)

Won't say anything.

& no, he'll fall on his fat, drug-addled arsehole.

Inclined to agree. The vast majority of players with a phenomenal amount of natural talent, like Maradona had, have never had to think about the game to any great extent, they just played and it came naturally. Would imagine Maradona will probably not know how to man-manage, or how to alter things tactically when a game is going wrong, or how to structure his defence.
Having said that, Argentina will still probably be a decent side, given the wealth of talent available to them.
