Coloccini: Argentina can make semi-finals (25 May 2006 01:56 GMT)
Argentina have a realistic chance of making the semi-finals at the upcoming football World Cup in Germany but rivals Brazil are the favourites, said defender Fabricio Coloccini.
"I think making the semi-finals is a realistic aim. We should be able to do that once again," the Deportivo La Coruna player Coloccini told Germany's Sport Bild weekly.
Argentina won the World Cup in 1978 and 1986 but have not been in the final four since 1990 when they lost the final to Germany.
"It is better not be rated among the favourites," said Coloccini, who rates the holders and record five-time winners Brazil favourites.
