Argentina can dream of glory, says Crespo

HERNAN CRESPO insists Argentina are proud to be regarded as World Cup favourites and that they can now allow themselves to dream of glory.

A 2-1 win in a superb match against Mexico has set up a mouth-watering quarter-final with hosts Germany in Berlin on Friday, and Chelsea striker Crespo believes Argentina can cope with the weight of expectation.

He said: “If people regard us as favourites then we are very proud of that and we hope we can win the World Cup for our fans.
