Na história das selecções nacionais são incontáveis os momentos de falta de acordo e de interesses inconciliáveis com os clubes. Compreende-se e aceita-se desde que ambos aceitem as regras instituídas pelos organismos internacionais. Este caso não é diferente de todos os outros. A Federação do Uruguai pressionou, o atleta naturalmente desejava-o, o clube tentou defender-se. Click to continue reading...

After 17 WC qualifying games it all comes down to tonight.

Argentina vs Uruguay. In Montevideo.

In the legendary Centenario stadium.

With both teams needing a good result to qualify to the World Cup.

Imagine a world cup without the world's best player? It's still a distinct possibility with Argentina stuttering over the finish line. Defeat tonight and the unthinkable may become a reality.

Two weeks ago Diego Maradona was talking about shake up and revolution within the Argentine national team ranks. He talked about going to Europe and going "face to face" with players to tell them that they were no longer on the national team. He talked about having a domestic side that was going to be fielded as they were "hungrier" than the foreign-based players. Click to continue reading...

One of the great heartbreaks of my soccer-watching life was watching Argentina lose against Germany in the quarter finals of the 2006 World Cup. But I knew that with so many great players in the squad--Messi, Riquelme, Crespo, Aimar, Cambiasso, Coloccini, Tevez, Mascherano, Zanetti, Milito, Heinze, and others--that they'd arrive in South Africa ready to make things right.

Argentina, desmembrada y mal contagiada, parece tomar una ruta sin curvas. La desesperación y el momento aciago se tragan al equipo y a todas sus individualidades cuando no hay tiempo para reformulaciones.
A los 7 minutos la primera pelota en el palo. A los 23 la segunda en el travesaño. Click to continue reading...

Colombia did Argentina a good turn yesterday with their 2-0 win over Ecuador which meant that they still retained fourth spot even as they crashed to defeat against Brazil at the Grand Arroyito.

This maybe the way to go to SA, with a little help from other teams. Because the public seems to be quietly giving up on the team as over 65% of them in a survey believe that they will not make it to the World Cup.

Diego Maradona's term as Argenita's coach ran into deep trouble after his side lost a vital home encounter against arch-rivals Brazil. Brazil defeated Maradona's boy by a score of 3-1 in Rosario.

We all know that Argentina-Brasil is the biggest rivalry and the biggest game in world football.

Because of Argentina's place in the WC qualifying standings, today's game is of even more importance than usual. Today's game is for Argentina, as big of a must win as any game has ever been against Brasil.

Argentina will have 4 defenders against Brasil.

I think that it is safe to assume that the two fullbacks will be Zanetti (right side) and Heinze (left side).

But who will the two center backs be?

Some of the options are:

1. Dominguez & Otamendi

2.

- Following the media reports during the week that Anderson and Sir Alex Ferguson had a big bust up ahead of the Community Shield because he wasn't picked, I can reveal that there is an element in truth to it.

Well, the big game is almost a week away and it is time to begin the speculation about the starting lineup.

So who will be in the starting eleven against Brasil?

The GK will definitely be Andujar.

And the rest?

Though this wouldn't be the ideal team in my opinion, I think Maradona will go with:

D Zanetti
D Burdisso
D Otamendi
D Heinze

M Maxi Rodriguez
M Mascherano
M Veron
