On the road to Africa!


So what now? Are we in the oven (the way the say here in Argentina) or will we be okay? You guys are right, I didn’t think much of that game against Costa Rica. Maradona just uses them to test out more under 21 local youngsters. What about Clemente Rodriguez? You guys think he fits the bill? Is he better than Otamendi? Maradona said yesterday that he has 60% of his squad decided. According to the daily Clarin, aside from Messi, Veron and Mascherano, 10 other players can already pack their suitcases.
They are: the goalkeepers Sergio Romero and Mariano Andujar, the defenders Gabriel Heinze, Martin Demichelis and Nicolas Otamendi, the wide midfielders Jonas Gutierrez and Angel Di Maria, and the forwards Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez.
For now we have 4 more games left to go. We’ll see if anything else is added later. They host Jamaica on February 10 before travelling to Berlin to face Germany on March 3, with fixtures against Canada and Israel possibly to follow in May.
Have fun and as usual keep it clean!
