I am happy with all the offensive players: messi, tevez, riquelme, aimar, crespo etc... But the defense, from goalies to fullbacks, is worrisome. Who are your candidates? I saw Valencia-Atletic today and Ayala seems past his prime, maybe he had a bad game, but his performance does not bode well. Coloccini, I like him, but he does more fouling than defending. Heinze is a superstar but I don't know if he's going to be fit. Gonza Rodrogiez, i like. Ok gentlemen, what do you suggest?

No matter how much people support Pato, he's not cut out for international keeper, not anymore. Leo Franco, German Lux and Oscar Ustari should be considered first, not to mention other good keepers, like Franco Costanzo, Saja and Luccehti. Pato, no matter how good he might be for Boca, is not performing for Argentina. When it comes down to the players in front of the goal, we do have some very good defenders. For example, we have the great players like Zanetti, Gonazlo Rodriguez, and yes, Ayala. Ayala may be past it, there's little doubt, but he is a great role model for the younger players in the squad, and he is still probably our best defender. Let's hope that Pekerman takes a look at our defenders in Argentina, since those are actually our best bet (Schiavi, etc.)

Milito, Samuel is playing well again, Gonzalo Rodriguez I think will get a call up, Ayala, Collocinni, Sorin, Zanetti, I like Quiroga most here now that by now, Schiavi I doubt will get a call up but not a bad idea... Pato always made me nervous but so does Lux I think our keeper situation is pretty bad. :(

if heinze is fit, one of these guys will probably make way. my guess is that will be colo.

Saja or Barbosa should be taken a look at for goalkeepers.
Our defense should be: Zanetti, Samuel, Milito, Sorin. If Heinze is fit, put him in there for Samuel.
