  3. 4. Luis Olivera ’98 (River). Interesting LB with some experience in Primera unlike almost all the called players. Has played as starter in last Superclassico against Boca.

    I don’t know why Vadala is not there. He had good moments in Union Santa Fe of late (with goal). Was not as good as we expected though.

    But there are other players that should be thr more in the U-20 team but they aren’t:

    1. Diego Sosa ’97 (Tigre). Besides Ascacibar he is the one who had been played regularly as starter in Primera. It’s interesting future material. One of the impressive players of Tigre. Very phisicall one. With goal of the week some time ago:

    • Im just so dissapointed with the current crop of youngsters except barco and ascascibar. im very surprised with the exclusion of ponce ( who was once one of the most promising young strikers in south america with his physicality and technicality )
      Was just wondering if their chances of a callup were actually blocked by their respective clubs? i mean are these strikers actually less of quality compared to the unknown ones who are listed? From my understanding, lautaro martinez is a very highly rated striker there who even attracted the likes of real madrid recently. Apart from him, conechny is also another quality striker. I dont know if there’s anyone else there that i missed out.
      Anyone here can shed some light about the list of players there?

    2. Maxi Lovera ’99 (Rosario Central). After future players like Cervi and Lo Celso left the club Canallas have already two new youngsters maybe even more talented. Lovera is the first. With goal already in league:

    3. Leonel Rivas ’99 (Rosario Central). Along with Lovera 2 golden boys of the academy. Both just 17 years old and with their contemporary Ezequiel Barco makes the 1999 category very very promising for us.

    • I believe its becos he is just not good enough. Vadala looks to be just another agent/bad media created hyped up golden boy. Juve instantly realised it when they had him play with their reserves.
      Remember, Ponce? Another guy eligible (born 97) but not called up and rightly so. Again so much hype and Roma wasted money on him n now at Granada and I watch him play a few times. So poor. Nothing to offer.

      Gonzalo, don’t get me wrong but I think Barco too is false hop as far as thr NT is concerned. He looks beyond small. He looks to go to ground at the slightest of contact from some highlights i seen. European n international football will be very tough for this kid. He’ll go to ground if Pogba farts next to him. Will he get a foul?

      • Ponce is just 19, so we must wait few years. He is not in my style player but we shouldn’t give up on so young player.

        Barco? Who knows? Maybe he will be too short for Europe but it doesn’t mean he is not good enough for SUdamericano. We will ses. But just watch his last game. He is coming in 46 minutes:

  11. ”Ronaldo tells Real Madrid president Florentino: Don’t let Barcelona sign this player…!”

    http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/ronaldo-tells-real-madrid-president-florentino-don-t-let-barcelona-sign-this-player-4162208

    Cristiano Ronaldo has told Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to go for Juventus striker Paulo Dybala.

    It emerged yesterday that Barcelona failed with an opening bid for the Argentine on Sunday.

    And Don Balon says Ronaldo has told Perez not to let Dybala slip through the net. The Portuguese is a big fan of the Juve striker and sees him as a player who can help extend his own career.

    Ronaldo has told Perez that an attack of Dybala on the right, himself through the centre and Gareth Bale on the left would be perfect for Real.

    Just last month, Dybala said of Ronaldo: “Cristiano Ronaldo is a player that shows in every game what kind of player he is. He is an admirable player, and logically all of us who play in that position would like to be able to convert all the goals he does.”

        • Sim needs to get another award of the year for making Gaitan one of the forgetten stars/sleeping giants in Europe ‘n Laliga.

        • Petro: it was a fluke, one good season does not make one consistent and for the case of voting its a calendar year not a season as it should be and where are lec now?.

          also factors to take into consideration was so many of the other teams were crap last year but since then what has happened-lec are crap and are near the bottom while the others have regrouped and are back up top, it was not a case of brilliant coaching its was a lot of luck (an example my team Tottenham lost 1-0 despite having 26 shots, 20 on target and lec had 1 and won 1-0) but in saying that massive kudos to ren and Leicester for doing it and sticking 2 fingers to the big money teams..

          alex ferg said “winning the lge is not a big feat but retaining it is”

          • Well..they had a important player sold to chelsea, and vardy was not in form…injuries…all these are routine..

            i can say they had some lady luck in their side as Tottenhan couldn’t give the killer blow..

            But overall Leicester were very disciplined team..

  15. Happy new year my fellow fans of the albiceleste. Although there is no big tournament to look forward to in June, we have six crucial games ahead of us. Let’s hope we earn enough points to qualify for Russia. All the best to you all.

  17. Baresi, Maldini, Batistuta, Riquelme, Aimar, Zanetti, Baggio, Best, Cruyff, Eusebio, and few more stars rightly deserved The World Cup to their names but sadly fate took its course…
    .
    Praying dearly that Lionel Messi doesn’t go that way but goes up to lift The World Cup 2018.

    a dream defense vs a dream offence.

  19. Brujita Veron is back! Estudiantes have confirmed Juan Sebastián Verón’s return to football two years after he announced his retirement. The 41-year-old has signed an 18-month contract to play for his hometown club on a minimal wage which will be given back to Estudiantes. He can give some creativity even with his dinoasaurus age to that midfield.

    Peak Veron was one of the best midfielder in the history, OMG that performance, crazy:

  20. The world of football is now completely insane.
    Tevez moves from Boca to China and will earn more than 100.000 euros per day! This is an insult for almost everyone on this planet who works hard. Money has ruined the game.

  21. I am the best coach in the world right now,
    My team so far………..

    • @ dollon biswas : No offense bro but its been a while since I have been going through your comments and I must say it gets on my nerves, the way you write down players name. Yes, I understand English is not our mother language(including me) but at least while writing down specific name please write it down properly!(Use google if you need help) Yes we do understand who the hell is “Mascarano / Heguin” but that doesn’t mean you keep on doing that! Hope you understand 🙂
