keepers Costanzo is the back up...

now defensive end we got G. Rodriguez as the top back up, this line's the best in the world right now, which is rare since argentina is always known as the team without playing defence...other back ups r: N.Burdissco, C.Rodriguez...

in mid we gotta bring placente and scaloni, as the back up of left & right wings, it's important in a cup tournament to bring guys like them who can play multi-positions, coz u never know who's gonna get carded or injured, since the age of redondo, argentina is unbalanced with lefties much more stronger than the right, this is still the same now, if zanetti is down, which is quite unlikely to happen, coloccini will play right defence and scaloni or santana will move up to right wing...back up ponzio...

note in DM position we got rich selections! we defintely need dirty players like Mascherano, this kinda player is a must for any winning team and we might need more than one of them, so while scaloni can also play in this position, we always need to be prepared to bring in other subs, in my opinion we'll rank them like this: Duscher, Demechicles, Battliga...note i might even replace some non DM with Duscher or Demi coz DM is too important to put on only one lock...

AM position i am totally against using veron, tho he's still a top 10 mid in the world right now, but 1 year later he won't be, and the 99.% reason is everything veron & D'Alessandro can do, romi+aimar+lucho can do it too and better. so no need for them in the squad unless really shortage on the right or left-mid...there's absolutely no room for them in the middle...gallado has chances, too, but ortega doesn't...

while solari can play left wing, we only need a guy to be on the right, Rosales is the symmetrical choice, like solari can play both mid & fwd but recent forms give Galletti a better chance, he can play with 2 fwd or 3 fwd, no doubt currently he is a better player, but my greatest hope always rely on Delgado, he is the one most chippy player in the team, if someone knows how to use him, he will be the best secret offensive weapon in the entire squad!

strikers Figuroa is the one gives me the headache, he should be the back up of crespo, or in my opinion, includes Galletti and tevez... after him, i'll go with Cruz...we will need a center to connect the headers even tho we got the trickest attacking line up in the world, no nation on this planet is better in speed n technique than saviola+tevez+aimar...but we need center while i personally think M.lopez and F.Cavengehi is a big no...

for youngsters, like brazil always do i suggest bringing messi or palacio, two brightest futured kids envyed by lots other nations, we'll see how they perform in one year's time and maybe leave some spaces for them...

and pity for some players, they are defintely good enough to play in national level, but not fit in this argentina team's requirement, that's ledesma, captain of team lecce in italia league, and by stats one of the best DM in serie A, maybe italy desperately wants him, but it just proves how sucky team italy is...

so there u have it, 23 players plus:

Costanzo
G. Rodriguez
N.Burdissco,
C.Rodriguez
Santana
Ponzio
Duscher,
Demechicles,
Veron
D'Alessandro
Gallado
Delgado
Cruz
Figuroa
Rosales
Messi
Palacio

i predict the national squad would be built using some of these players,
let's see if my prediction is true or not...

by the way, i personally think our no.1 enemy in 06 is germany,
then brazil, then holland...
