Everton's Steven Pienaar has tipped Argentina to win this year's World Cup.

The 28-year old South African midfielder believes Diego Maradona's men have enough quality to beat off the challenges of all other nations.

"For me, Argentina are the favourites to go and win it," he said.

"The last World Cup they did well, this time around they had a tough time qualifying but they have got the players that can rise to the occasion. They also want to do it for Maradona and for their country."
