Ezequiel LAVEZZI arrives to AFA facilities ahead of World Cup Qualifiers!

Hey everyone,

Ezequiel LAVEZZI has already arrived in Argentina and is already practicing at AFA’s training facility in Ezeiza.

“El Pocho’s” inclusion for “la seleccion” is not seen as important as it once was. His inclusion is now challenged and discussed greatly both by the fans and the media. He has not played regularly for his club. As he does not have any matches coming up with his club team, he decided to practice at Ezeiza eight day before the Chile match.

What do you guys think of LAVEZZI on here? Does he still deserve another chance? Or is he done? Should we move on? Or can he still provide something?

As always, VAMOS ARGENTINA!!

Under 20 World Cup: Los Pibes will face the Host, Guinea and England!

The draw for the upcoming Under -20 World Cup which will be held from 20th May to 11th June in South Korea has just concluded.

As we reported, both Diego MARADONA and Pablo AIMAR were among the invitees for this special occasion held in Suwon.

Well judging by the draw, seems like it’s going to be a tricky one for Los Pibes as they are drawn in Group A alongside the host nation, South Korea, Africa’s representative Guinea and England.

Diego MARADONA’s reaction:

“What a draw for Argentina! We have some tough games, including a match against the hosts! What an exciting match that will be here in Korea, especially in front of a big local crowd.”

Los Pibes will be based on the city of Jeonju where they open their campaign against England (20th May) followed by South Korea on the 23rd May. They will then travel to Seogwipo to wrap up their group game against Guinea on May, 25th.

So what do you think about our chances in this competition?
