You also forgot Pastore. Probably wouldn't include Diego Milito anymore though.

I think they should play Lavezzi - Higuain - Messi as a front 3. I would say Di Maria on the right and Messi in the middle, but Di Maria is nowhere near as good as some of the other attacking players they have. It's very difficult to leave Aguero out.

Not really a fan of Pastore. Yeah, I’d only have G. Militio in my ideal squad.

They’ve got to start with Messi, Tevez and Aguero IMO. You can’t leave any of them out. Messi in the middle, the other two either side of him. Then, I think I’d have Zarate ahead of Lavezzi in the rotation. They have an abundance of skilful diminutive players. Piatti would be my impact player.

I love a MF of Banega, Mascherano and Cambiasso. That was the exact same engine room that gave Spain a 4-1 defeat after the WC. Gago slots in off the bench.

Higuain should be playing over Tevez, no question. Better player, and more importantly, has been a better player for Argentina.

They have missed him though, as they haven't been very good since he left.

Also, Gabby Milito is poor, every time I saw him play for Barca he made mistakes. Guardiola had no faith in him.

Higuian will be ahead of Tevez. Higuian has a pretty stellar goal scoring record for Argentina.

The midfield is the problem area. If we go 4-3-3, then I'd include Masch as the defensive midfield guy, Banega in the middle, and Pastore in the CAM position.

**Seb** · 10-26-2011, 06:50 AM

You can't drop Cambiasso. He's been Argentina's best player of the past 10 years (or at least second to Riquelme).

The defence is the problem area for Argentina.

Messi should be in the thick of the action right in front of goal. There’s no way Higuain would be a better option to the left or right of him than Tevez. You think Higuain is better than Tevez? Jesus! It’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it but… IMO the only Argentinian better than Tevez is Messi.

I agree, but I would like to play these up-tempo guys together. See how that goes.

Would you prefer Demichelis? I have him in my squad, but there is no doubt that he can be garbage. I probably should have considered Samuel.

Tell AYALA to put his boots back on and come out of retirement.

**Heel** · 10-26-2011, 07:13 AM

Mascherano has been a beast at centre back for Barca, play him there and then have the likes of Cambiasso and Banega in midfield.
