ReplyDeleteThis is the best squad!
ReplyDeleteIt is very easy and clear to say arg has d best frw in this w.c.Midfield is moderate.We can depend on rodriguez and mascerano.But MARADONA is only responsible for d ommision of THE PLAYMAKER Riqueme.If riqueme was in d side,argentina would stronger than all other games.I hate maradona only for this.Whats the fault of riqueme?Fault is that he would wear no:10 jersy.Well,g.keeping and defence is totally poor.
ReplyDeleteAlz a supporter of arg.Hope arg will be the champion.
