i think argentina should play 4-4-2, don't get why bielsa insists on 3-5-2 when it clearly doesn't work against the better teams the keeper should be either lux, saja or abbondazieri. forget cavallero for good! two fullbacks: on the right ibarra, on the left sorin who played well against brazil. alternates could be arruabarrena and clemente rodriguez two centerbacks: samuel and ayala no doubt starting, milito and heinze reserves d-mid: i like cristian ledesma or battaglia. mascherano is young up and coming player too two wingers: not sure who should start, but it would be among zanetti, solari, lucho gonzalez, insua, bernardi and mariano gonzalez playmaker: aimar or d'allessandro, riquelme and romagnoli also deserve a look support forward: saviola is the best, delgado and romeo could be alternates center forward: someone other than crespo need to be considered, perhaps cavenaghi, maxi lopez or cruz any suggestions welcome, and brazil will lose in buenos aires
welcome here mimibocafan! stay around and help with the comments from argen- parag will you be watching?
pretty much mime i think you hit it on the head. he isnt putting out the best players or the best tactics.
thanx for welcome. efernandez, i watched arg - brazil , so i don't think i'll be watching the paraguay game, can't be spending that kind of money anymore astabot, let's just hope bielsa gets fired soon

hey everyone, after watching the superclasico for the copa libertadores it occurs to me that a lot more recent players in the national team come from river than boca. a quick count: river - aimar, ayala, crespo, d'alessandro, gallardo, l. gonzalez, husain, mascherano, ortega, placente, saviola, solari, sorin boca - batistuta, palermo, c. rodriguez, riquelme, samuel, veron why is this, especially since boca has been a lot more successful in international competitions. if they win again, it'll be the fourth continental championship in five years, amazing!
