Kerala is also excited about football. Muhammad Riaz, Minister of Public Works, said that this time Argentina will compete in the World Cup in Qatar. Riaz says that football has been a part of his life since he was young and has been an Argentina fan ever since. The minister’s response was to Manorama.
“Football has been a part of life since childhood. I was and still am an Argentina fan. This time Argentina will get the cup. After 86, Argentina didn’t get it often when it should have. The reason was the lack of teamwork. The feeling of being Argentina will be faked this time’, the minister said.
Meanwhile, the Argentina team started training in Qatar ahead of the World Cup. The training was held at Qatar University grounds. Stars including Lionel Messi came to practice. Marcos Acuña and Pappu Gomes, who are free from injury, are sure not to miss the World Cup. Argentina’s first group game is against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. Argentina is one of the most promising teams in this World Cup.
