Capello and Maradona were pretty terrible. Argentina could have knocked Germany spark out had they had another midfielder next to Mascherano, but he persisted with Tevez despite obvious signs in the Mexico game, where Argentina rode their luck for long periods. As pointed out by Vickery on't beeb, Maradona's problem was he became too passionate and wrapped up in everything, his heart said play Tevez, but anybody picking a team with their head would say a two man midfield is the least any side should put out, but the Argie's went with just Mascherano and it didn't work.
I dunno what you mean about my last point, the point I was making was many managers are making mistakes that were easy to tell, you didn't have to see the result of the mistake to know it was a c*ck up. Capello made a catalog of mistakes but he's still somehow in the job. The Cameroon manager was and is a joke, Domenech surpassed even his own standards, Lippi's second reign was a complete and utter joke, del Bosque has wasted two/three games persisting with Torres when it was clear as day that Spain needed a wide player on the field, Maradona persisted with Mascherano on his own in midfield, taking only two other midfielders, three if you count Pastore. I could go on and on about the glaringly obvious errors managers have made this world cup, it really has been embarrassing for international football. The standard of management and football at this tournament has been woefully short of what we see in the champions league every year.
