Diego Maradona Names 30 Man Argentina Squad

I did enjoy how Diego Maradona made members of the press wait and wait til he released his 30 man list for the World Cup. Personally I’m sad neither Lucho Gonzalez nor Lisandro Lopez made the list but considering the depth up front it was to be expected. It will be interesting to see if Martin Palermo makes the final cut. He made the 30 man roster thanks to his injury time goal to clinch a World Cup berth for Argentina. Wonder if Maradona will reward Palermo with a place in the final World Cup squad.

Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (AZ Alkmaar), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Diego Pozo (Colon)

Defenders: Nicolas Burdisso (Inter Milan), Martin Demichelis (Bayern Munich), Walter Samuel (Inter Milan), Gabriel Heinze (Olympique Marseille), Nicolas Otamendi (Velez Sarsfield), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Juan Manuel Insaurralde (Newell’s Old Boys), Clemente Rodriguez (Estudiantes), Ariel Garce (Colon)

Midfielders: Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Sebastian Blanco (Lanus), Juan Sebastian Veron (Estudiantes), Jesus Datolo (Olympiacos), Jose Sosa (Estudiantes), Maximiliano Rodriguez (Liverpool), Mario Bolatti (Fiorentina), Juan Mercier (Argentinos Juniors), Angel Di Maria (Benfica), Jonas Gutierrez (Newcastle), Javier Pastore (Palermo)

Forwards: Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid), Diego Milito (Inter Milan), Martin Palermo (Boca Juniors), Carlos Tevez (Manchester City), Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli).

    No, Maradona has never liked him. Shrugs shoulders I’m just happy Milito made it, another players Maradona isn’t big on.
