Not actually, aren't you ignoring that Maradona (aside from Barcelona i think, and earlier with his NT) was always the captain with his respectives teams right?

If he wasn't a "real" leader on the pitch, then i'm pretty sure that at least he wouldn't have been nominated as the skipper earlier with Argentinos Juniors and Boca Juniors before he left to Europe..

Updated captains though .

Well danielito passarella is so good leader that almost get in bankruptcy to River Plate
Also i only see three real leaders : chilavert , maradona and cafu

*

He was a leader on the pitch...

First is not trolling man take it easy , i dont want a BANgarang , also i explain this Daniel passarella was good is not doubt of this , but diego has equal or superior value as leader , he always support his teammates , in all sense only see the matches of wc in 1986, 1990 , matches in Napoli , a entire city following a man , also the argentinians put him like a god.
For be honest i never seen play nasazzi only textbook , i cannot put my trust in that because i never seen he play , also varela , only media are the clips of Maracanazo and some videos of Peñarol Museum haves , Figueroa never seens to matches , Passarella yes i seens him and yes he is a leader but equal or below to diego.

Leaders in Europe: Zlatan , Lahm , Puyol , Raul , Casillas , Xavi ,etc....


PD: Gurkenjoen is somenthing personal with diego or me ? because you support menotti (enemy until the dead with bilardo and diego) , support Passarella uncondintionaly (other enemy of diego severals fights in longs of both their careers ) , insult diego ( for be a drug customer and cheater).

It's what people call "point of view", everyone has one

This team needs to be better balanced, there is no Bolivian or Ecuadorian player.

Yeah but all needs a place , i don't see why the uruguayan Walter Gomez is better that Victor Agustin Ugarte , one of the greatest or maybe the greatest bolivian player of all time.

Or why Simeone is better than Etcheverry (yeah i know the spell of el cholo , but at 100% el Diablo is better , also counting the difference beetwen positions).

Surinam probably don't deserve be take in count because they are part of the Concacaf not the Conmebol.

That's the idea Rosso, the quality of the players + something respectable done with an south american club or with their NT (That's why you also don't see Messi who's talent alone is enough to deserve to be named here but then he hasn't played in a south american club or won something with Argentina, but that's another matter).

Mmm....ok.

Why Santamaria is so well considered in this team? He is in the starting XI, but he did more in the european football than in the south american football. Only a 4th place with Uruguay in 1954, while Nasazzi was the best and the winner in 1930. He won 5 uruguayan championships, but he also won 5 spanish championships and 4 europeans cup (achievements in europe>>>achievements in south america). If Di Stéfano isn't in the team (2 argentinian primera division, 3 colombian championships and 1 Copa America), Santamaria should not be either. At least not in the first team.
The duo Passarella (as a sweeper) and Figueroa (as a CB) would be the most representative of the south american football.

What about add Roberto Carlos in the startes, so the team can have two lef backs.

Messi is already the topscorer of Argentina NT and won a Copa América. I think he earn his spot among the starters. I would replaced Sócrates for him.

Also, I believe Neymar already have a spot among the reserves.

I agree with Roberto Carlos.

Messi needs absolutely no justification to be on the first team. Why he is in reserves is beyond me.

I think Neymar might even have space on the first team too. Ronaldinho too.

oh my goodness!!!
messi is not in first team...

Guys, are you all kidding, right? How can you all think that the greatest scorer, assistant, and caps for Argentina, Argentine player with the most caps, goals and assists in the World Cup, 2 times World Cup finalist, Copa America champion and runner up in 3 other editions, voted best player at the 2014 World Cup who will probably be voted best in 2022 as well could even think of having a spot in the starting 32? It has to be a joke, obviously Cubillas, Sócrates or Tostão deserve more than him.
