Carlos Tevez said that he and his Argentine teammates were solely interested in winning the 2010 World Cup, rather than just putting in a solid showing in South Africa.

"A good World Cup for Argentina will be to win it - nothing else will do. If we get to the quarters, the last 16, or whatever - that will not do," said the Manchester City striker at a news conference in Pretoria.

Tevez also said he was right behind coach Diego Maradona, a controversial choice to take the reins midway through an unconvincing qualifying campaign.

"A phenomenon," exclaimed Tevez, when asked to describe the 1986 World Cup-winning skipper.

Tevez also said he has little time for the 'vuvuzela' plastic trumpets which have been the bane of broadcasters since the tournament started.

"This siren or trumpet or whatever it is - they make it very difficult to talk on the pitch. You really have to shout - it's very distracting."
