Although I'm a Yank I do follow South American futbol. Argentina has a very strong U-20 team, and are likely to see a lot of these guys in the WC qualifiers if you haven't already and on the first team for the final draw in Germany. These are some of the names in no particular order but not all are under 20. Aimar(Valencia), Tevez(Corinthians in Brasil), Cavenaghi(Spartak Moscow?), my favorite Saviola(Monaco), Sorin(Europe somewhere), Killy Gonzales(Europe somewhere),D'Allessandro(Wolfsburg)although to me he didn't seem to perform well with the seleccion, but I heard is doing quite well in the Bundesliga. Samuel(Real Madrid), Heinze(Manchester United), Colochini(don't know where know but he and Heinze impressed me a lot on defense. Also Mascherano(River Plated) on defense, but I think he will be in Europe if he isn't already.Figueroa and Delgado(Cruz Azul of Mexico). Of course Zanetti a veteran in back who plays in Italy. The new coach is a guy named Peckerman who was the coach of the U16 through U20 teams I believe and all of the youngers are his boys and he won practically everything with them or at least placed second to Brasil. Then you have other veterans like Batistuta and Crespo, but I don't know if they will be first teamers in 2006. Even though I am a Colombian team fan I hope this helps a bit, take care.
