Good stuff so far dude, thanks for putting these up

ClydeFontaine · 05-10-10, 07:30 PM

Deserves another thumbs up. Thanks.

Bad news for Serbian national team...old news too.

Serbia will have to participate in the 2010 World Cup without Ivica Dragutinović on the roster. The 34 year old defender was seriously injured during practice with his club Seville, and he will be out for a few months. This could also mean that the experienced player may have to end his career prematurely. Dragutinović will be transferred to Finland this afternoon where a team of specialists will take a closer look and examine his injury. An announcement will be made later on letting everyone know how serious the fracture is and exactly how long it will take to heal.

This is a huge blow for the Serbian national team since Ivica is one of the most experienced and important football players of the squad. Serbian head coach Radomir Antić is already looking for a replacement, but the options are really limited. Dragutinović was not in the starting line up for Serbia during the last few games, but his manager was definitely counting on him for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Dragutinović has huge experience in major tournaments playing in Spain with La Liga powerhouse Seville, where he is one of the main defenders.

Alright guys, first two posts have been updated. 10 rosters still to be announced/tracked down.

Thanks for the points, Smog.

JRLM8 · 05-11-10, 11:55 AM

No Totti, Del Piero, Van Nistelrooy, Pato, Neymar, or Adriano at this year's World Cup.

Nike can't be happy about that Brazil squad.

TurkzZ · 05-11-10, 06:06 PM

very strange brazil squad, be interesting to get some of the Brazilians on this threads view, but alot of Brazils game is based on kaka being able to bring the ball from midfield to attack, now if he gets injured, and hes carrying a sports hernia and has has a injury prone season, who takes his place, as i see nobody that can fulfil that task.

also grafite?

TurkzZ · 05-11-10, 06:18 PM

Argentina pretty much as expected,

SoV · 05-11-10, 07:36 PM

Maradona is a ****ing idiot. What a ****ing mistake! He's gone back to coke again.

Brazil, France, Italy all look weak. Some managers have really ****ed up with their selections.

Smogs · 05-11-10, 07:53 PM

No Totti and Pato

Totti is a c*nt but Pato is a really good player, very shocked to see him missing out

Sov...who has Maradona missed out?? looks the team we expected him to declare

hedgejob · 05-11-10, 09:17 PM

No Nasri/Benzema for France

Totti's retired from international footy. Pato is a glaring omission.

As for Maradona, he's missed out on Zanetti, Cambiasso, Lucho Gonzalez, Pablo Zabaleta, Diego Perotti, Ever Banega, Lisandro Lopez, Gabi Milito.

Piling my money on Spain now at 9/2.

Karayilan9 · 05-11-10, 11:18 PM

Maradona picked a very strong squad but Dunga's decision is strange, there is no replacement for Kaka, Grafite had a good season but is an average player, Nilmar over Adriano! even Ronaldo would have been a great back up. No Neymar, Kleber, Alex, Pato, Ronaldinho.... most the midfield is defensive, very strange choices.

I don't understand how Heskey always makes the team, Zamora missed out because of crappy Heskey...

mihaita666 · 05-12-10, 02:15 AM

Wht Benzema, did he do anything at real madrid and I dont know ?

theplagy · 05-12-10, 02:35 AM

Why Veron and no Riquelme ?!?!?

tbill11 · 05-12-10, 02:53 AM

Even though Maradona's roster decisions seem to be alright, his coaching is going to screw Argentina to the wall.

JOHON8 · 05-12-10, 02:56 AM

Benzema and Nasri and maybe even Vieira missing for France have to be the biggest shockers. Nasri has been amazing this season for Arsenal, and Benzema is the most talented young French striker.

Brazil squad is not a shock to me though. This is the most competitive roster to get into, even Ronaldinho's talent isn't enough if he doesn't have the form to play. Pato hasn't done much for Brazil in the pre-games and last summers Confederation cup etc... If you've watched Brazil the last year you'd know the players they are taking to the World Cup are very well picked out by Dunga.

JRLM8 · 05-19-10, 03:19 PM

Argentina already trimmed their roster down to 23:
Squad:

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

Defenders: Nicolas Otamendi (Velez Sarsfield), Martin Demichelis (Bayern Munich), Walter Samuel (Inter Milan), Gabriel Heinze (Marseille), Nicolas Burdisso (AS Roma), Ariel Garce (Colon), Clemente Rodriguez (Estudiantes).

Midfielders: Jonas Gutierrez (Newcastle), Juan Sebastian Veron (Estudiantes), Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Angel Di Maria (Benfica), Javier Pastore (Palermo), Maxi Rodriguez (Liverpool), Mario Bolatti (Fiorentina).

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

Riquelme doesn't like Maradonna and they have disputes which has led to Roman quitting the national team.
