    Hi everyone,

    I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything more about the Spain v Argentina friendly that is apparently going to be on 11th October in Barcelona?

    I went to the Brasil game in London, and I’d love to see this game if its actually going to happen, but I think it might just be a rumour going round.

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Re: Argentina v Spain friendly-Myth or Reality?

    Thank you for confirming that for me.

    I think it should be a good game. Both teams kind of have something to prove, after their recent losses.

    It will be interesting to see who Basile will call up this time.

    I’d like to see Kun get a start. He didn’t really get a lot of playing time on he’s debut, just enough time to get booked! Lol!

    Not sure what we’ll do about the Riquelme situation, maybe bring in Aimar, or push Messi back.

    ARGENTINA vs. españa

    es mi primer "new topic" :eek:

    http://www.ole.clarin.com/jsp/v4/pagina.jsp?pagId=1278744&fecha=20060926

    Esta tarde, Alfio Basile dará a conocer su segunda lista de convocados como técnico de la Selección para el partido ante España, que se jugará el 11 de octubre en Murcia. El Coco estuvo trabajando desde ayer a la mañana en el predio de la AFA en Ezeiza: hizo algunos llamados y también definió detalles del viaje.

    La base de los convocados será otra vez del exterior (recién desde enero podrá llamar a los del fútbol local) y la misma que en el primer amistoso, ante Brasil.

    Igualmente, habría algunas caras nuevas. Una de ellas sería la de Maxi Rodríguez, a quien ya había llamado para el choque contra el conjunto de Dunga, pero no fue por lesión. Y otro que volvería es Roberto Ayala, quien alcanzaría el récord de 106 partidos que tiene Diego Simeone con la celeste y blanca.


    pronósticos para el partido? que formación les gustaría?

    I don't think Saviola should have been picked. Saviola has only played one game for Barcelona this year and is not improving by siting on the bench every game. I think Saviola is an idiot, why would you stay at a team that doesn't want you? In my opinion it was a terrible choice by Saviola to stay at Barcelona.

    Saviola is still lethal in his finishing. Exactly the type of player we need to actually try to score some goals :rolleyes: A pity he is also quite short...

    I know Saviola is good but we need players players that actually get a chance to play in games. I would take Palacio over Saviola any day.

    Finally long awaited...Messi, Aimar, Crespo, Ayala, Mascherano, Tevez, Heinze, Saviola......should be a very strong team...these are the guys we needed against Brazil.

    ---Zabaleta---Ayala---Milito---Heinze

    ---------------Mascherano----------

    ----Maxi Rod----
    --------------------------Aimar
    --------------Messi

    ----------Crespo----------Aguero/Tevez/Saviola

    That should be a nice lineup...btw where is Cambiasso??

    I sent GolTV an email asking...and they showed the Arg Bra game, and if they have rights to the Spain NT, and they show La Liga a lot, so I would imagine it will be on Gol.

    Re: ARGENTINA vs. españa

    BTW, how did Rodolfo Arruabarrena get in the team. This guy is not good enough for NT, and where is Sorin. for god sake give J. Zanetti 1 game and the farewell he desservs.

    as for the attacking option i will play Aguero infront of Tevez as Aguero is in form but Tevez is not yet in his best form.

    Re: ARGENTINA vs. españa

    Have you guys watch the World Cup? He was the best forward Argentina had!!! He definetly did better than Crespo and Tevez only started one game and Messi didn't play that much either. (both did good but Saviola was a bit better) Granted, not getting playing time in Barca will hurt him down the road, but as of right now I don't see how you can question him.

    Re: ARGENTINA vs. españa

    yeah, thats right, and also its just trying players out anyways, its what you learn from these early friendlied that counts.

    Who do you think got more out of the brazil game?
    Argentina was out to try new things and learn and get everything together.
    Brazil on the other hand was out to kill and was playing for this "friendly" game
    against the archrival, they didn't get anything out of that game in my opinion, they will not grow like that.

    So try out arruabarrena and any new surprises maybe, I would also like to see Zanetti at least once more in the national team.

    Re: ARGENTINA vs. españa

    i dont know guys but tevez is not in his best form and he's been like that for a while now since last yr actually! but u never know what can happen i think its a good squad i hope Heinze plays as our left back, zabaleta right something like this would be good

    Zabaleta------Ayala------Millito------Heinze

    -------------------Mascherano

    --------Maxi-----------------------Messi

    ---------------------Aimar

    -------------Saviola------------Crespo

    i dont know if messi fits there well but i think he should be given a chance to play anywhere in midfield! with aimar and maxi that would be a great midfield and as u can see most of the players are fast tempo players which is what basile likes and honestly i dont think Lucho, Mascherano will fit basile's type of football maybe Masche, Maxi or Lucho, Gago one fast one slow so they can balance it out :>

    Re: ARGENTINA vs. españa

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Rodolfo Arruabarrena play as a leftback for Villareal? If so then he is probably competing with Heinze for the leftback position (unless Basile put's Heinze in the middle like Pekerman did). Granted I haven't seen Arruabarrena play for a while (don't get La Liga games) but I still think that there is no contest. Heinze owns the leftback position at the moment. Total badass during the ManU game.
    I agree though that I don't know why Zanetti isn't getting called up. As far as I know he still is total class. I know that it's just a friendly but I'm surprised at the lack of love is has been getting from the NT coaches. Maybe next friendly.
    I'm absolutely thrilled that Aimar is getting a chance. Hopefully he gets to start instead of el Pocho. Castroman's lineup is pretty sweet. Hopefully we see it in two weeks.

    Re: ARGENTINA vs. españa

    Who is el Pocho?

    Aimar better start in Requelmes position, should give us much better offence...Aimar is so quick, so is Messi, so is Tevez, so is Aguero, so is Maxi Rod....they all fit together
