SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alejandro Sabella, Argentina coach:

"The usual expectations, to put up a good match and try to win, so that we can make sure we qualify for the last 16. We always think of wining, mainly because we are Argentinians."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alejandro Sabella, Argentina coach:

"Iran is a team that is related to their culture, they've faced wars, they're very strong, both physically and mentally"

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alejandro Sabella, Argentina coach:

"I was not hurt by Lionel Messi's comments and he's already said that before. The reporters asked him how he likes to play and he answered honestly, so he just emphasised what he thinks in a very respectful way."

"We always hope to win the World Cup because in addition to being football players we want to really fight for this cup. We are Argentinians and our dream is shared with the people."
