Flip Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 How the f****** hell does Lucho Gonzales and Cambiasso miss out on this squad? That is crazy. Argentina has probably the best attackers in the world cup, but wow, they will leak at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Without any hyperbole or exagerration, Argentina's manager is insane so you can hardly expect his squad choice to be a rational one. If Argentina accomplish anything this world cup it will be in spite of Maradona. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Argentina accomplish anything this world cup it will be in spite of Maradona. Aye, that why i said earlier every Argentina is watchable for him and his mental decisions alone. Veron > Cambiasso? Mental choice. Veron bosses the Argentine league and is very much a proud Argentine i.e very much what Maradona likes. Seems strange that Lucho has missed when you consider Juan Mercier and others have very little big game/international experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Tbf Argentina have played better since La Brujita has came back into the fold has to be Diego best call by far. Will it work at the W/C who knows but to date imo it has proved to be a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm glad, their is less of a chance of getting injured, now if only Jonas can have a falling out with Maradonna before the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Looking at Google News in Spanish the Argentinian press look like they're getting a bit frustrated that Maradona is the last of the major national managers to name his 30. http://www.infobae.com/futbol/515754-101275-0-Maradona-juega-al-misterio-Argentina-es-la-unica-seleccion-top-ten-que-aun-no-dio-su-lista http://noticiaaldia.com/2010/05/argentina-y-el-mundo-en-suspenso-maradona-lleva-dos-horas-reunido-para-decidir-lista-de-convocados/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm assuming it'll be announced on the hour so checking every hour. Maradona will make a point of announcing it at a weird time, like 22:47. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 <EDIT> FFS man. Found this http://www.losandes.com.ar/notas/2010/5/11/un-489170.asp which has a headline of "Ariel Garcé is the surprise inclusion to Maradona's list of 30", then at the bottom has "probable squad to be announced in the next few minutes..."

Nobody Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Love how we've got two players in the same national squad that also includes the likes of Tevez and Messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 From Twitter: @GrantWahl: FIFA has Argentina roster, says @VarskyMundial, who adds Maradona must be dying of laughter making ARG journos sweat. #MakesDomenechLookSane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Again, Cambiasso not being in the squad is hardly a surprise, mental decision or not. Maradona has never liked him and has been quite open about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
