 Washingtonpost.com: Group H: Nothing Here Will Slow Down Argentina
Coach Daniel Passarella has been criticized for his heavy-handed approach, but it was largely a necessity if he was to restore order to the undisciplined, truculent team that turned off much of the world with its petulant display in the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

Passarella may finally have exorcised that ghost, and Argentina comes to France with immense talent, solid experience, steely determination and resolute direction.
