Argentina defender Martin Demichelis has lashed out at John Terry, claiming if he performs as badly against Germany as the England man did he would not be allowed home.
Although a war of words between Argentina and Germany has ignited a fuse between the two sides ahead of Saturday's World Cup quarter-final between the pair in Cape Town, they have joined forces to stick the boot into England. Demichelis' turn came after a training session in Pretoria when he was quizzed about his poor recent form.
"Seeing the way Terry played against Germany, if I was Terry I wouldn't be able to go back to my country," said Demichelis.
The Argentinian continued: "I'm strong but I'm not a masochist so I don't read every criticism about me.
"I know that when the team is playing well there are always people who look for a weakness, for example me, but I know I can overcome this bad moment."
