Liverpool fullback Emiliano Insua makes no secret of his hope of making Argentina's World Cup squad.

Insua appears to be in Diego Maradona's plans, but is taking nothing for granted.

"I think only Maradona knows what he will do in the future," he told Liverpool's official matchday programme. "For me, the only thing I can do is keep playing and improving.

"Of course, I have the dream to play in the World Cup but it is only a dream and I have to keep doing well for Liverpool.

"If I am lucky enough to be there, it will be fantastic and if not, I will support the country."
