Group B must be one of the most interesting in the entire World Cup, with the whole planet wondering just whether Diego Maradona can repeat as a coach what he achieved as a player on this stage. First he must navigate a tricky group, with Nigeria, Greece and South Korea.
While Argentina are expected to go through, second place seems up for grabs. Greece, Euro 2004 winners, will hope for the form of old; Nigeria will hope to be live up to their coach’s words that a semi-final spot can be had; South Korea believe the glories of 2002 can come again.
