Tyler_Durden Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 actually considered betting on argentina to win the WC but with Maradona in charge, no chance! He's gonna lose it for them... He'll probably bench messi for all 3 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubenJ Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Am I missing something re: Benzema? Why would he not be included? Because he's been on the bench more than than he's been on the pitch this season? Of course he should always go though, not playing that much for your new club doesn't mean you've lost your qualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeekoHFC Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Jordaan just thinking about the ££ then Ronaldinho has been pretty poor this season and Dunga hasn't picked him consistently so no real surprise there, I'm sure PMLF will know last time he was selected. Cambiasso again has been picked inconsistently by Maradona. Only reason I was shocked by this earlier was because didn't know Maradona had been leaving him out of previous squads. Last time was about a year ago, for the WC games against Peru and Ecuador (late March, early April 2009). It's like you say PMLF, then he just pops up from anywhere.

gonch19 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 From Marca, best 11 to miss this WC (although some may be in the backup lists, like Marcelo and Gaúcho): Diego Alves, Bridge, Zanetti, Milito, Marcelo, Cambiasso, Vieira, Diego, Ronaldinho, Pato and Benzema I don't know why they included Diego Alves on the list, probably just because he plays in Spain, but there are other better Brazilian goalies who missed the WC. Diego Alves is good too though, and hopefully will move a big team this European Summer. that team would probably get slapped silly by anyone half decent though tbh, as good as the players are individually...

PMLF Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 He simply never proved to be good enough, as all his Olympic and senior national team games showed (only 1 goal in 8 senior games, and 2 in 6 Olympic ones). Nilmar and Robinho, who were his rivals for a spot in the team, are much more logical choices than him, and they are far more experienced too. His poor attitude off the field and the injuries didn't help him either, but the main reason is that he didn't prove he deserved a spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastwood Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 A lot of shocks there, not seen too much but I thought Ronaldinho was back to... well not his best, but much improved this year, at least when I have watched him.

Is Ronaldo playing well back in Brazil or people just feeling nostalgic? Ronaldo played well last year, but this year he has been awful and a shadow of last year. Roberto Carlos, on the other hand, is doing very well, but Dunga didn't even consider calling him up for the WC... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdawsoniv Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Are there normally this many injuries to star players? We have several big names out and several others trying to recover from injury.

James M Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Anyone else think this is due to the best players playing 50-60 games per season? Especially anyone involved in Europa League runs and the ridiculous number of matches there. Perhaps we'll need a similar thing to happen in 2012 for Platini to revert back to the old school Uefa Cup when it was just a knock-out, or for national FAs to look at their scheduling as well.
