    I don't think I can really panic when I see an answer like this, especially considering the audience:



    "My dad always told me to enjoy participating in the World Cup. Hopefully one day I will play with the Argentine national team."

    He's never gonna be good enough to play with Argentina's national team.

    Pity Martinez is in his prime and is the both the reigning South American Player of the Year and the reigning Footballer of the Year of Argentina.

    He's been capped by Argentina twice.

    Sonora isn't that young at 23 and hasn't played 1000 minutes yet in Argentina's Primera (for two average teams - NOT Boca or River like Pity). He's made 8 starts in that league in his career.

    He had a starting job earlier this season for Arsenal de Sarandi but was benched in early September. He has a nice touch and can strike from distance BUT he's slow, plays little defense, and doesn't make great runs off the ball. These are the same problems he had with U.S. YNTs.

    His time in Germany was poor and he didn't come close to breaking into a Suttgart team that was in the 2.BL at the time.

    He's not a bad player. He's very limited but can do a few things quite well.

    But any talk of which national team he should represent is beyond silly.

    on second viewing, great little run from Sonora. He clearly meant to shoot it and got lucky with how the ball found its way to a teammate via a deflection for a tap in. But kudos to getting into that position

    Gimnasia under Maradona are terrible - which should surprise no one
