"They're the second best team in the world, and there's no higher praise than that," said - who else? - Kevin Keegan when asked to comment on Argentina's qualities last week. All of which reminded us of 15 other fantastic Keegan quotes that we feel the need to share with you:

(1) "England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's fans are second-to-none."

(2) "It's like a toaster, the ref's shirt pocket - every time there's a tackle, up pops a yellow card."

(3) "I don't think there's anyone bigger or smaller than Maradona."

(4) "England can end the millennium as it started - as the greatest football nation in the world."

(5) "You can't do better than go away from home and get a draw."

(6) "He's using his strength and that is his strength, his strength."

(7) "Gary always weighed up his options, especially when he had no choice."

(8) "The tide is very much in our court now."

(9) "Chile have three options - they could win or they could lose."

(10) "I came to Nantes two-years-ago and it's much the same today, except that it's totally different."

(11) "I know what is around the corner - I just don't know where the corner is. But the onus is on us to perform and we must control the bandwagon."

(12) "In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg."

(13) "The 33 or 34-year-olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful."

(14) "It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney."

(15) "I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool dressing room at half-time."
