Messi is unbelievable.  Just watched him create some magic right now...

But still, I don't feel good about the team and their chances this world cup.

Zannetti omission is surprising, especially with his current form at Inter.  Veron?  Really?

p.s.  I'm sick of all the Brazil threads, so here we go. :)


Argentina's provisional squad:

Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (AZ Alkmaar), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Diego Pozo (Colon)

Defenders: Nicolas Burdisso (Inter Milan), Martin Demichelis (Bayern Munich), Walter Samuel (Inter Milan), Gabriel Heinze (Olympique Marseille), Nicolas Otamendi (Velez Sarsfield), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Juan Manuel Insaurralde (Newell's Old Boys), Clemente Rodriguez (Estudiantes), Ariel Garce (Colon)

Midfielders: Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Sebastian Blanco (Lanus), Juan Sebastian Veron (Estudiantes), Jesus Datolo (Olympiacos), Jose Sosa (Estudiantes), Maximiliano Rodriguez (Liverpool), Mario Bolatti (Fiorentina), Juan Mercier (Argentinos Juniors), Angel Di Maria (Benfica), Jonas Gutierrez (Newcastle), Javier Pastore (Palermo)

Forwards: Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid), Diego Milito (Inter Milan), Martin Palermo (Boca Juniors), Carlos Tevez (Manchester City), Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli).

 
They will play Group A winner/runner up (most likely runner-up):

Ashor, can you make this the back drop to the world cup section?  So we can always see it.

 
On paper, and based on individual players performances in their leagues, Argentina should be considered a big favorite to win it. And I mean big!

But thanks to Maradonna, I am really hoping he will do his best to flop and prevent them from winning. I am counting on some dumb decisions that will cost them big time.

Last thing I want to see is Messi winning it and being declared a legend. We have one Maradonna and that is more than enough, thanks very much.

Not that I like either one, but why not bro? What does Messi have to do to be like Maradonna? fly to Mars? lol...

You can for example say Ronaldo or Ronaldinho are no Pele, and it is safe since these guys' careers is almost over. But for Messi, it is just getting started and if he wins a world cup (god forbid), he could be the new Maradonna, if not better.

ok i do understand why he didn't take Zanetti. He's just too old and maradonna gives the younger player a chance. But WHY DIDN'T HE NOMINATE CAMBIASSO. He's in great shape and played a super season with inter.
