The only exceptions are <br /><br />- Carrizo for Ustari (tho I like your idea about keeping Messi happy, so I could change my mind)<br />- Jonas/Perotti for Sosa (tho I admit I have not seen Sosa play much, and Perotti is currently injured)<br /><br />We are the same otherwise. I'd vote for you if we could.Alex Camachonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-51590291147746215362010-05-11T09:44:55.523-07:002010-05-11T09:44:55.523-07:00Very interesting points there MoonBear!
To me...t...Very interesting points there MoonBear!<br /><br />To me...the locker room attitude is a must. To have a unite dressing room is easier to achieve at a club compared to a national team. <br /><br />Why? Simply because the national team players are the best in the country and with their quality and status usually come a higher profile and a bigger ego that are harder to control or to keep in check.<br /><br />As for the winning mentality. I couldn't agree more, though I don't think I'd rate the players coming from winning teams over others that are of a better quality. <br /><br />"Form is temporary. Quality is permanent" or something like that says a famous phrase. I subscribe to that. <br /><br />One more point about it...if you manage it well, that boost you get from winning at your club can be translated into success at the national team level. <br /><br />If you don't manage it well enough, it can lead to complacency. A silent enemy to any team with serious aspirations.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811923198668714629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-13310220149443671502010-05-11T07:35:52.801-07:002010-05-11T07:35:52.801-07:00For the most part, Sebas list makes a lot of sense...For the most part, Sebas list makes a lot of sense. Much more than Diego's ultimate list I am sure. There are a couple of factors I would VERY strongly when comprising a list besides technical skill and measurables.<br /><br />1) Current Form: What you did several years ago should not be as important as what you are doing these days.<br /><br />2) Position Flexibility: Shit happens as they say...especially at the World Cup. Injuries, Suspensions, specific opponents matchups, etc. I would lean towads the players that are most versatile in the roles they can play on the pitch<br /><br />3) Locker Room Atitude: We have all seen 'medicore' talent rise to the top due to tremendous chemistry, teamwork and love for the common cause. A cancer can spread pretty quickly in tight quarters over the course of a couple of months.<br /><br />4) WINNERS: I cannot stress this one enough! It goes hand in hand with current form, but it is also its own category. I would lean towards players that are coming off of winning campaigns. Winning is contagious. And so is momentum. I don't care if you scored a hundred goals but your team was relegated. I want players from Benfica, Marseille, Inter, Barca/RM, etc...players who have tasted winning recently and know what it takes. That's why I would lean towards guys like Aimar and Lucho to round out the squad if they are in consideration. <br /><br />All that said, I'm not saying you discount skill. I'm just saying that IF it's close between 2 players, you always look for the factors I've mentioned.MoonBearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-29189293852208150662010-05-11T07:32:40.455-07:002010-05-11T07:32:40.455-07:00Seba, your list would likely be the same as my lis...Seba, your list would likely be the same as my list. Though I would probably include Gutierrez in there somewhere. Believe it or not, the guy has grown on me. He's a work horse and I think in a World Cup you need someone like that. Someone to try and grind out the last few minutes of the match if your winning. The question is who I would take out and the answer is I don't know.<br /><br />The midfield has a very good balance of defending, attacking, youth and experience. Alot of versatile defenders as well, again, something you need in a World Cup. No complaints with the forwards either.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402857142181219977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-91432053436201432642010-05-11T07:27:53.293-07:002010-05-11T07:27:53.293-07:00Sebastian,
