Hi!
I know it’s not a brand new topic (look at the last writings!!! lol But never mind: I try it!!!
I’ve allways thought that CAMORANESI and TREZEGUET were Mestizo if mestizo means part of European and part of South-American Indian: isn’t it! I love that!!! TREZEGUET is full Argentino as both of his parents are from Argentina. Only his Grand-Grand-father (bisabuelo) was from France!
Camoranesi sometimes makes me think of a Japanese!!! And they are both GREAT! And TREZEGUET is a Great Goleador!!!
Kisses,
Isa from France

Steve, you’re confusing mestizo for mediterranean…or hairstyle…while there is probably a meaningful ‘mestizo’ population in the north of Argentina, there certainly isn’t in Tandil, where Camoranesi is from. In all – ‘mestizo’ as you mean it is probably 10% of the Argentine pop.

I was always very supicious of Camoanesi’s ethnicity. He always looked very much Mestizo to me; now I’m certain of it.

Having seen Mauro Camoranesi make a complete footl of himself in the game against Arsenal yesterday, I don’t think Argentina have missed out on much.

Trezeguet is unusual in that he scores loads of goals for Juve but never does anything at international level. Ultimately I don’t think Argentina need to lose any sleep over these two players, on the other hand if Messi had chosen Spain, that would have been agony.

What you got to remember is that most argentinians are of european descent and any new talent that comes through the ranks can easily say i want to play for italy or spain. I wouldnt worry about pernia too much. Hez having a great season at getafe but is unlikely to follow this up with further consistant performances. Thats why he hasnt been involved with the current argentina setup.We dont know even if he will get his spanish citizenship in time or be involved with the spanish squad for the world cup.

So I am irritated to read today that (in the vein of this discussion) the Argentine, Mariano Pernia – high scorer for Getafe (and going to Atletico Madrid next season) is being offered Spanish citizenship and a spot on the national side…How much football self respect can a country have to poach players from other countries??? This is the World Cup for christ’s sake. Soon it’ll be Argentina vs Argentines wearing foreign jerseys in the Finals.

(Also, has anyone noticed what Frutos is doing? He’s lighting it up.)

Saviola had a terrible year with all the injuries and trying to find a place in the team. But he had some pretty good games lately, so I doubt Pekerman would leave him behind. He is still a very smart player that can connect very well with any player in the selection ( ex: Crespo). Our strikers should be: Tevez, Crespo, Messi, D.Militio, Saviola and Aguero if we take six.

I watched the game on Sunday: Sevilla against Valencia. Saviola setup the winning goal for Sevilla, he played great. Btw: The person that hacked him down in the penalty area was the one and only Roberto Ayala (Valencia). It was a pretty dirty tackle…I noticed Argentine defenders tend to be a little too aggressive. They are good but sometimes can get carried away with their aggressiveness. Exception to this is Zanetti of course, clean as a whistle. Anyhow, I liked the way Saviola played, and wouldn’t mind if he at least was a substitute for Messi, Tevez or Crespo…
