Brazil will be champs again but 'El diego' is my man: Ganguly

And when you talk about football, you have to talk about Brazil in the same breath. For me, from the time I have been watching the game, football and Brazil are the same things. They are a top class side and play a very exciting kind of football that is always a pleasure to watch. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on them winning their sixth trophy this time.


A few other teams like England and Argentina are also exciting and I will be following them closely too. The World Cup is the biggest event in the world and I am already excited about the prospects of not just watching top class football on TV but also at the grounds. I have tickets for a quarter-final and a semi-final match and am hoping to get my hands on one for the final too. I am certain watching a game in that atmosphere would really be something out of this world.

My excitement for this World Cup has also increased manifold because my hero will also be playing a major role. Brazil may be my favourite team but as a footballer, there's nobody bigger than Diego Maradona. He is the greatest of them all.
