World Cup Squads

Why is Di Santo from Wigan, in Argentina's squad ? :lol:

Is it just to make up a number on the provisional list ?

And make the world cup section now , less than 30 days to go :popcorn:

Last two world cups Brazil have been the favourite
Argentina was in 2002
Brazil was in 1998
Colombia (ha) was in 1994

Perhaps they didn't but I can categorically say I wasn't amongst them. I think this is probably the worst Brazil squad of my generation, their best player hasn't 'peaked' and they had the temerity to leave out Lucas Moura which I thought was astonishing. Not to mention there are a significant amount of people over there who don't even think the tournament should go ahead (high profile people too), so I don't think being the home nation and being used to the sunshine is going to be as big a factor as it could otherwise be.

Do they really need all of Paulinho, Gustavo, Fernandinho, Ramires and Willian!? All good players in their own right but very similar attributes collectively. They have a solid defence and a functional midfield in very atypical Brazil style, but their attack is a long way behind several nations imo.

Like many my money is on Argentina or Germany.

Luis Suarez is doubtful for World Cup after injuring his knee - will have surgery today that normally takes 4-6 weeks to recover. The striker - who was voted PFA Player of the Year for his stunning performances at Liverpool this season - is Uruguay's talisman for the finals. England take on Uruguay in the second game of Group D in Brazil.

Damn!

^ Suarez should be fine now.

Diego Costa may be dropped if he doesn't recover from his injury in time.
