I hope Cisse has a good WC.
IIRC, he broke his leg (ugly) before Germany 2006 and missed it.

Too bad that 5 of the 6 defenders you named are central defenders.
We have nothing on the wings.
Zanetti is like 35 years old, and he is still the best "4" Argentina has? Lame. Clemente Rodriguez could be the "3". I know he is not an elite player, but he is serviceable.

I´d go with a 4-4-2:

Romero
Zanetti Demichelis Samuel C.Rodriguez
Veron Mascherano Gutierrez Tevez
Higuain Messi

That's why I think we should play with 3 on the defensive line.

wow i didn't know Veron was still playing?

[sonic21]

Cisse was on the 2002 WC roster, but he missed the euro 2004 (suspension), 2006 WC (injury) and euro 2008.

[DAF86]

wow i didn't know Veron was still playing?

He won the "best player of America" award last season. He's playing really well.

[MB20]

wow i didn't know Veron was still playing?

He is still playing at a high level. Best midfielder we have, along with Mascherano.
He is playing for Estudiantes de la Plata in our league, one of the best teams in America, and he is the leader and best player.
He is currently untouchable in the NT.

^i know there's no chance he'll be on the roster, it's just a homer pick.

It looks like ciani will start against spain. Hope he'll be at the WC

[Brazil]

France 0 Spain 2

Hitzfeld voit l'Uruguay en finale

Quelques minutes après la défaite de son équipe face à l'Uruguay (1-3) à Saint-Gall, Ottmar Hitzfeld a immédiatement reconnu la supériorité de la Celeste. « Sa victoire est amplement méritée, même si je regrette la balle de 2-0 manquée par Streller juste avant l'égalisation de Forlan », a expliqué le sélectionneur de la Suisse. Et l'ancien entraîneur du Bayern Munich a visiblement été séduit par la prestation de l'Uruguay, à qui il semble promettre un destin mondial en Afrique du Sud dans trois mois. « Si l'équipe uruguayenne joue comme elle a joué contre nous, elle peut espérer aller en finale de la Coupe du Monde », a même annoncé Hitzfeld, en reprenant le traducteur qui avait cru entendre que « l'Uruguay peut espérer aller en huitième de finale. »

Hitzfeld thinks Uruguay has the potential to play the final !

You really think so? I think Argentina played a good game from a tactical point of view. They were pressing and successfully trying to disrupt the German game. Since you're Argentinian, you certainly have seen a lot more games under Maradona than I have, but today he didn't look like a bad coach to me.

As for Germany, they were pretty bad. Ballack just isn't a world class player and he was nonexistent like RJ has been for most of the season; and if Cacau is your best striker, you're in trouble.

That's nice and all, but he's way too defensive. We have some of the best offensive players in the world and he only cares about keeping our goal unbeaten. On offense he just hopes for some of our players to pull a big play out of nowhere, there's no team play.
