^I'm massively disappointed! Zanetti's my Banfield boy too - he said he'd never play for another Argentino team when River and Boca inevitably came calling (couldn't resent him for going to Italy though).Both he and Cambiasso (whom I rate anyway) have had stellar seasons with Inter, and their exclusion smacks of some sort of nefarious deed... To be honest it could have been a lot worse though: I consider that Maradona didn't opt to take every Boca journeyman with him as some slim consolation; but there are still some incredibly weird selections/omissions. <_< (Probably go and win it now, and I shall have to partake of humble pie!)
I actually think Inter's Argentine contingent might have suffered by having Mourinho as their manager. While he's around, the players never get the proper credit. Any club in the world would kill to have the services of Eto'o, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiasso, Milito and Maicon (to name just a few), but the popular opinion seems to be that Jose took a useless bunch and turned them into European champions. Maybe Diego bought into that too. <_<
