dida, julio cesar, luisao, roque junior, adriano , adriano correia, cris, marcelo, daniel carvalho, emerson, but i think specially ronaldo, if he woulndt gotten injured he would probably been called up by dunga.
No idea you guys, but i don't see Ronaldo playing on the national team anymore, same with Cris, Emerson, Roque Junior, and maybe the keepers, and who are Correia and Daniel Carvalho?
And again Fred was called for the Copa América, but he spent most of the matches in the bench injured.

Why is Veron out there? Why is Crespo out there (when healthy he seems like a guarantee)? Look, they've had great careers, but they hold back the guys like Tevez and Messi. And I don't mind necessarily playing Cambiasso and Mascherano together, but do you really need both of them out there? Trust your defense, and trust a single holding midfielder. I would like to see someone like Palacio out there, or Milito. But they don't have the reputation of a Crespo, or a Cambiasso, or a Veron, and they get slighted. The return of Maxi Rodriguez will solve a lot of their problems, but Argentina needs to stop evaluating players by their reputations.
Mascherano is a pure DM while Cambiasso isn't exactly a CM but he isn't exactly a LM however he's better on the left than the right, Mascherano is an unargeable starter, in my opinion he was the best player of Argentina, along with Zanetti.
In my opinion Palacio is only one that should've been get rid off, fortunately he hardly got to play which is good but a waste of a spot. I would've called Saviola instead, Milito played and he didn't accomplish the expectations and also the people and Basile wanted Tevez as a starter, and the one that had to be sacrificied was Milito, i don't know like what you say if Crespo would have not been injured if Tevez would have still been on the bench. I think it may not be all about reputation but then again that'd explain the case of Palacio and Riquelme only and why Milito didn't stay as the true replacement of Crespo but then again i don't think you can talk about reputation with the kinds of Mascherano, who is still young and is trying to earn a reputation.

seriously why hasn't Argentina been using the wings lately?
during the world cup they played without a proper rb and now they choose to play without a proper lb, and in the middle it was even worse, i mean Veron, Mascherano, Cambiasso?
Also to answer the PSG fan, i don't know why, but it was evident we were needing the shot which Riquelme hits the post came from a play of Messi from the wing, that pretty much says it all. And like i said in the half-time about the midfield maybe Gago and Aimar should've came in for Cambiasso and Verón.
And i don't think the back players had anything to do neither here nor in the World Cup.
