Well some good news for Argentina and Messi fans,they will not miss their favorite team and favorite player in World Cup as Argentina has finally sealed their place in World cup finals thanks to late strike by Mario Bolatti who came as substitute and scored with cool finish.It was huge relief for Diego Maradona who was being severely criticized for lack of coaching ability. Some cheers for Ronaldo fan also,Portugal booked their place in play off as they thrashed Malta 4-0.With Portugal playing playoff,we will miss Zlatan Ibrahimovic as Sweden didn’t qualified for even playoff.This world cup would have been incomplete without players like Henry,Ronaldo,Messi.France also booked their place for playoff thanks to strikes from Henry,Benzema and Zignac.France,Russia and Portugal are high seeded teams.So they will play any low seeded team in qualifier.
