The Argentine Soccer Team

Well, these are the names of the players on the Argentine team. I like the group. No bad karma, no Veron or the usual suspects, no history of power struggles.... All of them are Pekerman's boys. They all won the World Championships with Jose. So they represent the best he has to offer!

Those who were left out of the group: At least, they can say that Pekerman called them one by one to let them know that they were not in. This says a lot about Pekerman. It's the first time, in many years, that a coach personally calls the players to let them know that they are not in.

Now, let's hope that they behave like good men. Let's also hope that they play the way Argentine soccer teams play, con la pelota en el piso--with the ball on the floor. And let's hope that we can all celebrate that the Argentine team has done well in this World Cup.
