Wish Argentina had a player like Luís. 23 goals from 32 games. Didnt know that before, much better than at club level.

I know that I had to pick Andujar for patriotic pride, but I've already picked Marquinhos for his name alone, so I've already did enough for ideals (now it's their turn to do something for me!). > Zanetti, Otamendi, Domínguez, Ketchup & Mustard > Maxi, Mascherano, Verón, Dátolo I guess that Maradona wants to win or lose in his own way. > So it seems Diego has listened to me and selected the 2 Vélez centrals > ( tongue-in-cheek ). Do you think that Otamendi is better? Or have you picked him (and not Dominguez) just because he's younger? :) > At least he has 2 decent centrals, a couple of decent mids > and one certified genius. Him being Veron? -- Cheers milivella

One thing I like about him is that he has his own ideas of how to play, and is willing to pick young Argentina-based players, unlike Pekerman and to a greater extent Biela. Of course, that is not pragmatic, since in general these players will lack experience and make mistakes. But since both Biela and Pekerman flattered to deceive, I believe there is no reason to go with the old strategy of safe players. Unfortunately, there are just not enough top talents in Argentina at this point to win the WC over Brasil, Spain, Germany and England. > > > So it seems Diego has listened to me and selected the 2 Vélez centrals > > ( tongue-in-cheek ). > > Do you think that Otamendi is better? Or have you picked him (and not > Dominguez) just because he's younger? :) > Oh he is better. Domínguez is not first choice. But there is another thing.I think it is good to pick the 2 centrals from the same club side. If I were a NT manager, I would always do that. > > At least he has 2 decent centrals, a couple of decent mids > > and one certified genius. > > Him being Veron? Messi. > > -- > Cheers > milivella |
