Tuesday saw Diego Maradona name his second Argentina squad, in preparation for the friendly against

It's been a quiet-ish week for the main Argentine contingent in Europe, but there have been one or
two scorers. In Mexico, meanwhile, the new year's championship is already underway, and there were

Venezuela 2009 is underway, and Argentina's challenge for the South American Under 20 title (and

now, on Soccernet, you can read more about why I was pleased to see him take the award.
'Footballers produced by South America come in all shapes [.
It was a relatively quiet weekend for Argentina's representatives in the exterior in the week prior
