The sadest thing was that this defender was the only natural RB of the team. He was so bad, Maradona tried to move Otamendi and Burdisso (both CB) and Gutierrez (LM) to the RB through the cup. None of them were any good and still Garce did not play single minute. Meanwhile Zanetti was not picked. Otamendi as a RB was one of the worst players in the game with Germany that Argentina lost.

Similar to Casco today, sure he can play RB but he always plays LB unless there is no RB. But yes, Clemente would have been an alternative. Still not calling Zanetti was completely absurd, but Maradona thought him and Cambiasso were bad luck (mufa). Preferred to take Garce and Bolatti.

In 2009 I attended a Catalonia - Argetina friendly played at Camp Nou. Maradona managed Argentina, Johan Cruyff managed Catalonia.

You forgot to mention several things. 1) His fight and expulsion of Riquelme from the team (at the time of the best players of the team). 2) the day he said his team was Jonas Guiterrez, Mascherano plus 9 and 5 games later Guiterrez was a sub. 3) the fact that he practiced before the cup a defensive 4 4 2 with Veron as the playmaker and brain of the team, the week before he switched to a 4 3 3 sent Veron to the bench and included Tevez. Veron was benched thereafter. 4) his final starting team has 4 cb, 1 cdm, 2 wingers (di maria maxi rodriguez) and three forwards (messi, tevez higuain).

​@@ChrisMeerkat In fact I am english and I believe many english people may dislike him purely based on his success as a footballer. I personally recorgnise his insane talent and his place as one of the greatest footballers of all time. Few have come close to his skill and that should not be in any doupt. Regardless, off the pitch he acts like a child and I think he is an absolute asshole. 'Still you judge him on his imperfections and fail to acknowledge his genius' As you said, I very much judge his imperfections. However while I didn't mention it in my previous comment, he was a footballing genius and I wouldn't deny that. I just think that being one of the best footballers to ever live does not excuse hims for being an asshole. Sure, every football fan is passionate about their club and their players and we put them up on pedistals, but at the end of the day, the way people treat each other is far more important than any accolade.

@@gibospartan6185 There is no denying the man's talent or passion and the respect he has outside of England. Trust me, he's a living God. You can't deny his passion. If i were manager of Argentina, i would appoint him just to give a motivational speech at the end of the half time talk before sending them back out. He didn't fail as a manager through lack of knowledge or passion. I'd keep him clear of tactics and fitness tho. Nobody has the skill to understand his tactics or the heart to take his kind of fitness regim other than him. To me his personal life is his business, shame he couldn't play longer tho. The skill of Messi, the acuracy of Ronaldo and the flare of Ronaldinho.

Anyone else here after he died? RIP

Another fun fact / When Brazil beat Argentina on home soil, it was onlly the second time Argentina had lost in WC Qualifiers at home after the 1993 0-5 to Colombia. Afterwards Ecuador also beat Argentina in Bs As in 2016 (0-2)
