Coach Diego Maradona refused to give any details about his starters for the game against Nigeria.
Pretoria: Argentina coach Diego Maradona will not reveal his starting lineup ahead of time for his team's opening World Cup game against Nigeria on Saturday.
Maradona wouldn't give any details about his starters when talking to reporters on Friday, but said he expects Lionel Messi to have the same impact in South Africa that he himself had when leading Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title in Mexico.
Maradona says that being able to lead the 23 "monsters" on the team has given him "peace of mind" and that he believes in his players.
Teams are not obligated to reveal their lineups until one hour before the game.
