I would have taken Zannetti but not Cambiasso.
Its not about who Maradona picks athough thats what all the discussion is about everywhere.. Its about the fact that they don't play as a team... THe talent looks nice on paper but I dont' think its going to work
I'm not optimistic.. not because of the players but because Maradona is a clown.
I think the starting 10 barring some injury (unclear on goalie):
Otamendi, Burdisso, Demichelis, Heinze
Dimaria, Gutierrez, Veron, Mascherano
Messi, Higuain
I would hope that if Messi needs to be subbed it would be Tevez and if Higuain needs to be subbed it be Milito... Palermo and Aguero seem like a bit of a waste to me...I would have liked to have seen Saviola given a chance.. and in the midfield Aimar was the natural guy to work with Messi. Of course neither had a chance.... Their whole careers they have been for some unexplained reason not given their due with the national side.
I like Samuel and Clemente Rodriguez on defense although I'm not too sure about Clemente's form lately..
The midfield looks weak to me.. Veron has a tendency due to his age to get injured... Maradona wants him to run the show but what happens if he gets injured....Aimar should have had the chance given the Riquelme (a first class troublemaker..glad he won't be there)/Maradona bustup..I would have also looked to take Maxi Rodriguez.
This World Cup for the first time I look to focus on the other games and not get so concerned about Argentina... I just don't think they have a chance..
Hopefully - since I'm always wrong on this board- I'll be wrong!
