Since Maradona’s departure as coach of the Argentine side in late 2010, the South American squad has posted a 3-1 record under the direction of Sergio Batista, defeating Ireland, Spain and Brazil. Argentina’s last clash with the home team on American soil took place on June 8, 2008 and ended in a 0-0 draw before a sold-out crowd at Giants Stadium.
The current FIFA Player of the Year, Lionel Messi (Barcelona) will be joined by Carlos Tevez (Manchester City), Javier Mascherano (Barcelona), Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid) and Javier Pastore (Palermo) for a star studded, international exhibition aimed to prepare the team for the Copa America in July.
Soccer is really important to Argentineans, so they will totally try to win no matter what. Messi is my idol, I was actually in an argentina travel when the Wordl Cup was being played so I cheered for the country and mostly for him. This time is hard, I had so much fun in Argentina that I will always remember it as a good thing!
