It was a good squad even the Barcelona Lionel messi was missing.But i like to see Fernando cavenaghi,Diego millitio and Gabriel millito as well.I hope things will work well with argentina.I wish best of luck to Diego maradona as a coach.

Good to see players from the Italian Serie A in the called up list. I am sure Napoli players German Denis, Navarro and Ezequiel Lavezzi will give their best to represent Argentina as well as the Inter players Nicolas Burdisso and Javier Zanetti and Lazio goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo.

Strange on why Zanetti is not the captain anymore….

@Rune: Congratulations. All the best to you and your family.

From Clarin (and Ole): When pressed by the media (over and over) for his reasons as to why he didn’t want Ruggeri to be part of the NT, a very frustrated Grondona said, “Because I don’t like his face”. Vintage Don Julio.

AJ,
Bianchi, Pekerman and Menotti didn’t bow down to anyone either.
As soon as they didn’t like it anymore, they quit.

Haha Wow. You know as MaxiLopez has said many times – Maradona will not bow down to anyone. More drama unfolds. Wonder what Grondona’s response will be – or will it just be seen as an empty threat?
