Given Argentina's fixtures in the group stage Aguero has to be seen as outstanding value.

Am going to have a punt on him.

Not when you consider the other goalscoring options in the Argie team.

have only looked briefly but Germany are 11/10 to beat Portugal...that's max bet material for if it's not the 3rd game and Germany have already qualified from the group

if anything that should benefit him as defences are stretched trying to cope with the Argies attack...further Aguero is fresh having not played a whole lot since Christmas. All this adds up to Aguero been one of the favourites in my view to top the scoring charts.

Possibly, I certainly wouldnt discount him.
But for someone to be topscorer you need him to be the teams main goal scoring threat.
Like Ronaldo in 02, Baros in 04, Kluivert on 2000.

First game of the group, both would be happy with a draw IMO.

Why is everyone going for Aguero for Argentina? Surely he won't even be the top scorer on the team never mind the tournament with Messi in the team...

Because:

1. Messi is in the worst run of form of his career.

2. Higuain was stretched off this weekend and may not make world cup

3. Argentina have a soft group.

4. Argentinas tactics focus largely on attack.

5. Sergio is fresh due to the injury layoffs this season.

6. ...Sergio is fockin amazing!!!

Because:

He has made 26 appearances for Barcelona since his injury. He has scored 25 goals. Hardly lacking in goals. Pretty sure that's the most out of anyone in the top 5 leagues. And it could be argued he's saving himself for the WC.

2. Higuain was stretched off this weekend and may not make world cup

He'll probably be back for the Coppa Italia final

Fair enough tribal. We'll find out in a few months.

Wrote a piece for a blog last week looking at World Cup winners and temperatures. Only on three occasions has a team from a colder annual climate gone to a warmer one and won the World Cup. If you take Spain out the equation, given the World Cup in South Africa was played in the Winter it's only two.



Personally I think the money will be in the South American teams as their use to conditions.

That's an interesting table but it's a little misleading as well. For example, the mean temperature in the States might be 7 Celsius when you factor in the likes of Alaska, Minnesota etc but most the games in that World Cup were played in soaring temperatures well above that figure.
 
Having said that, I do think we could be looking at a South American winner. Mainly though because the S.A teams are looking stronger than usual for this WC imo. Chile and Columbia were both pretty impressive in qualifying and alongside Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay that's a fairly strong bunch. Spain, although still outstanding, are slightly past their best at this stage and Germany's lack of a world class striker could derail their challenge.

Thanks

Still, I think the winner will come from South America. Will back Argentina outright and have a E/W nibble on Colombia and Uruguay.
