[Wallace]

What formation do they play and what role does Alvarez play? CAM? CM?

 

[interista4]

Where is your beloved Aguero?

 

[Pajo]

Small injury, they didn't want to risk.

 

[Kakaroto]

Fuck them. No Argis at Inter!!!

 

[R.Palacio8]

I can make a team of 11 players that I still don't understand what the fuck are they doing in Argentinian National Team, or why Sabella keep calling them:

 

[b4h4mooth]

I see Lavezzi in forward, Banega and Mascherano are in Argentina Midfield, take them and we are scudetto contender.

 

[Ed.]

no calls for faTevez?

 

[b4h4mooth]

no calls for faTevez?

I can make a team of 11 players that I still don't understand what the fuck are they doing in Argentinian National Team, or why Sabella keep calling them:

I agree with all that but Garay is a good defender. Argentina doesn't really have the best defenders they are a team stacked up front. I don't get why Palacio or Alvarez are on their NT both coming off injuries and they have much better players at the moment.

Is Romero seriously the best goalie Argentina has at the moment? Dude seems shaky as fuck. I kind of feel Sabella is fing with everyone and just trying out players. In all honesty the only teams that can beat Argentina away are Uruguay and Colombia. They prob could have sent a Olympic team and qualified as long as Messi is up front. I think Brazil and Argentina are just joking around till the World Cup as they don't want teams to know who they are taking. No way are their rosters as bad as the guys they are both calling up

 

[R.Palacio8]

Sabella has a little tendency to call ex-Estudiantes de La Plata players..: Andújar, Orión, Desábato, Federico Fernandez, Marcos Rojo, Braña, Jose Sosa, Enzo Perez, Basanta, Clemente Rodriguez, Also, for the "Superclasico de las Americas" (for this 2 games he could only call local players) he called Germán Ré, Sebastián Domínguez, Cellay (!!) and Boselli... also, he called Barcos, Viatri (!!), Mouche, FUNES MORI (!), Bottinelli, Cristian Chávez, and a bunch of other players that did not play in Estudiantes, but... GOD, WTF WAS HE THINKING?

the only two players than can be considered for NT are Orión and S. Domínguez... the rest, all of them are crap.


IMO the best Argentinian goalkeeper at the moment is Sebastián Saja, who is playing in Racing Club. The second one is Orión. And THEN, could be Romero...

 

[R.Palacio8]

FUCK Sabella men!! Now he called Somoza and Mercado!! In addition to Braña, Jose Sosa, Andújar, Basanta, Rojo, both Fernandez, all players that I still don't understand WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK are doing in NT. The only logical explanation is that 95% of them played in Estudiantes.

"I know how to fix this... I'll get more Estudiantes's players"

"meanwhile... in Argentina's National Team"

"Team is not playing well... need more Estudiantes' players"

"How we all see it...

How Sabella see it"

 

[Ed.]

That Argentine NT player front row most right.. :trollol:

 

[Howl]

Apparently Palacio assisted Lavezzi for his second goal after a sexy 1-2 with Di-Maria

.. Yes, im using goal.com commentary

 

[Me2]

And Palacio scored

 

[Caecuban]

Icardi got called up for nt.

 

[Pajo]

So is Campagnaro, and both are injured

Calling Orión and Maxi Rodríguez will perjudicate both Boca and Newell's, considering Argentinian League is reaching its end, and Newell's is in 1st place... And for what? For two friendly matches that have not any fucking importance, and what's more, he won't even put Orion or Maxi in the line-up...
