Argentina at the Olympics in Beijin

[lionel]

The final squad was published by the AFA:

Porteros: Oscar Ustari (Getafe), Sergio Romero (AZ).

Defensas: Pablo Zabaleta (Espanyol), Ezequiel Garay (Real Madrid), Luciano Monzón (Boca Juniors), Federico Fazio (Sevilla), Nicolás Pareja (Anderlecht).

Medios: Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Fernando Gago (Real Madrid), José Sosa (Bayern München), Ever Banega (Valencia), Juan Román Riquelme (Boca Juniors).

Delanteros: Lionel Messi (Barcelona) Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli), Sergio Agüero (Atlético de Madrid), Angel Di María (Benfica), Lautaro Acosta (Sevilla), Diego Buonanotte (River Plate).

the team will gather together soon, the big question atm is wether barcelona will let messi go or not... they are still negotiating (AFA and barca), and messi is in scottland now with barcelona.
it will be a major blow for the olympic team if messi does not participate because he was supposed to be the leader next to riquelme.

we hope this team will be able to defend the golden medal...
