The legendary footballer and current Argentina manager Maradona chooses his squad without Real
Madrid hitman Higuain nor Lazio Zarate.. Goalkeepers: Juan Pablo Carrizo (Zaragoza) Mariano
Andujar (Catania) Sergio Romero (AZ Alkmaar) Defenders: Javier Zanetti (Inter Milan) Nicolas Pareja
(Espanyol) Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle) Gabriel Heinze (Marseille) Nicolas Burdisso (Inter Milan)
Sebastian Dominguez (Velez Sarsfield) Emiliano Papa (Velez Sarsfield) Nicolas Otamendi (Velez
Sarsfield) Midfielders: Fernando Gago (Real Madrid) Javier Mascherano (Liverpool) Maximiliano
Rodriguez (Atletico [.
The Argentinian defense goes to sleep as they fail to mark Luisao who heads home Elano's free
kick. Then Luis Fabiano scores as Mariano Andujar fails to collect cleanly. Jesus Datolo responds
with a blistering left footed shot from 30 yards out. Argentina are back in it again. But a minute
later Kaka threads a devilishly clever pass to Luis Fabiano who outraces the lone Argentinian
defender and scores.
Now is not a particularly good time to be an Argentinian. Not only have their most loathed
opposition Brazil and England already qualified for the finals of the 2010 World Cup, but there is
a serious likelihood that the Albiceleste themselves might not even qualify for next year's
tournament in South Africa, and coach Diego Maradona is receiving hitherto criticism in his home
country.
