The Dona is in South Africa to “inspect the facilities” that his boys will be using in Tshwane for their World Cup preparations. It’s a 5-day visit and as expected, he was greeted with much love and adulation (no snickering, come on!) by the country’s people. He found the time to attend a clinic with female jugadores (way to go!) at the High Performance Centre.

Anyway, The Dona thinks Argentina are hardly favourites to win the title. “We are not the favorites, we still need to work hard for that title. The main candidates for the title are the same as always – Brazil, Germany, Italy and now Spain.” He also added that he is perplexed with all the bad press The Dinho is getting. Well, that’s another story…
