Angel di Maria: 'We can win World Cup'

Argentina midfielder Angel di Maria believes that his team have the credentials to win the World Cup this summer.

Argentina midfielder Angel di Maria has expressed his belief that his team can win the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

The South American outfit have not won the competition since 1986, but they are seen as one of the favourites this time around.

"Being in the national team makes me very happy," Inside Spanish Football has quoted Real Madrid's Di Maria as saying.

"It's also true that we've played together for many years and perhaps that makes me feel more comfortable in the team. The road in the qualifiers was long at times, especially until the game against Colombia. We struggled, but we found a way and realized we could do it.

"But we will not settle for that. We are very excited about going to the World Cup. We believe in ourselves as a team, because that's what we are: a team."

Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi will captain Argentina this summer.
