At around 8.30am, Diego MARADONA and the National Team arrived in South Africa for the World Cup on Saturday, looking jet-lagged as they were greeted by media at the O.R Tambo International Airport (as reported by the Times Live from South Africa).
MARADONA blew a kiss to reporters, saying "Hola, South Africa. I love South Africa. I’m excited to be here, I love South Africa and I’m looking forward to the World Cup,".

Lionel MESSI was also subdued on his first appearance in South Africa. Wearing a white baseball cap, the Barcelona forward did not react to requests from the assembled media for a smile or a wave.
Clear skies and cool early morning autumn conditions greeted the third team to land in South Africa after Asia powerhouse Australia and Brazil . After a brief session with select TV crews and photographers; Diego, MESSI and the rest of the team left in a brightly painted luxury coach for their Pretoria base.

Love the white tracksuit, looks great, does anyone have the link to see more photos of the team landing in South Africa, and also videos of the team being farewelled from AFA headquarters Buenos Aires.
Thank you for translating everything in english, and keeping us up to date with our albiceleste Seba. Without this blog there isn't many other english speaking webpages that give as much detail and coverage of the teams affairs. I've never been able to feel
so close to the team before.
We went through hell qualifying together.. It's time to make history and win the world cup together.
VAMOS VAMOS ARGENTINA
Hola Pronx!

Hola John
Thankyou so much for that link, what great support, love and loyalty for the team. My heart goes out to the team, will support you 100%, may that push them to be world cup winners. Love you Argentina, show the world the beauty of Argentine football.
The only reliable english news source on the albiceleste.
Thank you Seba.
Agree with you that Diego is not a morining person.

try the www.daylife.com news photo service.
put in "world cup 2010" "argentina football team" "maradona" or any name of the players in the search box for the pictures.
VAMOS ARGENTINA!
Seeing that this is word to word copied from another site, this isnt a source. maybe some sort of guideline for discussion, but not a source itself :P. The actually source is those who went out there and got it for their site. this is just reporting what they report and giving opinions/comments. which is nice
I found this link for the pictures
departing BA and arriving Johannesberg. lots of pics

i do not agree that maradona is that sharp and that everything he is doing is part of a plan...but still a very interesting article.
Seba, can you give some information how NT practicing in Pretoria. Coz, no media reporting the training. It seems Maradona don't want journalist know their activities inside the camp.

As far as I know, they're only doing some height and climate adaptation training.
