You may have heard that Brazil and Argentina don’t like each other; one might even say they hate each other.
But one thing they can unite over is bashing their heads against the wall over their respective coaches and their curious (/stubborn) squad selections. It’s like Dunga is Dunga and Diego Maradona wants to be Dunga. Quite frankly, this isn’t good for anyone’s blood pressure.
And in watching these lists come out – less head bashing, more four letter words – seeing the snubs was staggering. Nigh unbelievable. So we’ve created a 33rd World Cup team: Brazentina. Or Argentzil. Your preference.
Most of the time, joke XI’s take a few minutes of scratching the ol’ noggin. This one took about the same amount of time it takes Usain Bolt to run the hundred – admittedly with celebration. Something like taking candy from a baby…
Julio Sergio
Javier Zanetti, Naldo, Gabi Milito, Marcelo
Lucho Gonzalez, Esteban Cambiasso, Hernanes
Pato, Lisandro Lopez, Ronaldinho
Bench: Victor, Alex, Pablo Aimar, Neymar, Ever Banega, Adriano, yadda, yadda, yadda.
There are plenty more to fill in all your own for a full, FIFA-official 23. Hell, you can even make your own Brazentina national squad, and maybe we can poll the best, then petition FIFA to allow it into the tournament at the expense of a team only showing up for the parting gifts.
But back to the XI above: Would anyone else put that team in the quarterfinals at least?
I would, even if the in-fighting may defy anything seen in World Cup history.
