I would have picked the Velez players.
Not Garay, who like Gonzalo R, is a good player but out
of match fitness.

I have no idea,
A certain Scaloni comes to mind, but he was probably in EPL,

I think Argentina backside would be a more appropriate title for this
thread.

According to Goal.com, here is the starting XI -

Andújar ( hi Millivella! )
Zanetti, Otamendi, Domínguez, Ketchup & Mustard
Maxi, Mascherano, Verón, Dátolo
Messi, Tévez

So it seems Diego has listened to me and selected the 2 Vélez centrals
( tongue-in-cheek ).

Obviously, he has also listened to what I was saying a while back
and switched from the insane 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 ( tongue-in-cheek )

Diego's Boca obsession is truly disturbing. He has Palermo
back for Milito ( Martín Martín Martín penal penal penal
miss! miss! miss! ). With 2 midgets up front his options in
case he needs a big striker is thus non-existent.

At least he has 2 decent centrals, a couple of decent mids
and one certified genius. This must rank as the poorest
albiceleste side since the low days of the early 90s.

Will Veron be able to produce one last vintage performance?
A lot depends on that. But I am feeling slightly more
optimistic now, about 30% up from 1%.

On to the Gigante de Arroyito! It will be a big game all right.
