He's also the team's rookie coach for the 2010 World Cup and heads what one coach called the "most talented" in the 32 nation tourney. But odds makers don't like Argentina's chances because of Maradona. They think he's too inexperienced, too volatile, too unsophisticated and too arrogant
( protagonismo) and instead favor Spain and Brasil. "The years go by and Maradona continues to be the most popular athlete in the world, the most loved and also the most hated," said writer Eduardo Galeano.
