Who is the most shocking omission from Argentina's world cup squad?

[La Furia]

It's clear Maradona's selection process relied more on blind faith and loyalty than form this season or common sense. What do you think was the biggest mistake - Zanetti's leadership? Cambiasso, arguably the best overall defensive midfielder? Gabriel Milito, whose revival as part of La Liga's most successful defense was snubbed to make room for unknowns like Ariel Garce, Otomendi and 6 strikers? Riquelme's playmaking? Someone I forgot about?

Zanetti, his Leadership, Versatility and Experience would of been so Valuable..

 

[Ibracadabra]

No doubt Zanetti.

I like the long list that Maradona should have brought to the WC here.

 

[Metaphysical]

chuco for sure.

if zanetti usurped him in montevideo then I can understand why maradona would cut him.

but there is literally no logical reason to not take esteban cambiasso.

 

[Barcaman]

That list. Wow! Voted Zanetti as he brings more than just football quality. Milito close second..

Hahaha, i just read that in the Argetina thread, Thats beyond Legendry from Zanetti if its true....
But also makes his exclusion understandable.

Lisandro Lopez? i thought he was Included, Hed bee a Regular for any national side other than Argentina tbh...

The bigger surprise is, how the fuck is Martin Palermo included.

Zanetti, after all these years he was the least one to be treated like this. A loyal captain, experienced, intelligent and versatile player, who lifted the CL crown.
Maradona should eat his balls, drugs has ruined his tiny brain.
Cambiasso would have been instrumental too

 

[G.J]

Where is the Maxi Lopez option? This is appalling!

 

[el tren]

I can imagine playing Demichelis over Milito to horribly backfire ...

 

[JCCR_FCB]

Lucho. But what we expect from a person like Maradona?

 

[ViolentLogic]

Cookies with vodka?

 

[PedritoRodriguez]

Like I said

Maradona is not for understanding

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Zanetti if none other than the fact that it would have probably been his last WC
