So you’ve read the Argentina squad profile for the Olympic Games that I wrote for Soccerlens, and still want more? You’re in luck, because I was very busy this weekend. Another one has now gone up on new Australian online magazine The 84th Minute, edited by ocassional HEGS commentor Neil Zimmerman, who wanted to me to give his countrymen a little advice as to why they shouldn’t be too optimistic for Australia’s group match against Argentina.
‘Whilst most other sides in the contest look to these players to lead the team amidst the relative inexperience of the others, there’s no such attitude for Argentina’s Olympians. [Nicolás] Burdisso’s exit from the squad with an injury, in fact, has simply resulted in one of the under-age ‘reserve’ players, Nicolás Pareja of Belgians Anderlecht, getting a call-up. No need for age and experience here. So why the confidence?’
