Martin Palermo is in the news for scoring an astonishing headed goal - from 40 yards out! Amazing stuff.
Let us hope that he is remembered for that or for his 81 goals in 102 games in his first spell at Boca or his 83 in 147 in his second spell and not his horrific injury falling off a wall when playing for Villareal or his world-breaking 3 penalty misses in one international game.

I find it amazing that he was out of national contention for nine years. Apart from a dodgy spell in Spain he's had an outstanding career.
And why no Riquelme?
And no Cambiasso, Burdisso, Samuel, Maxi Rodriguez, Gago, Lucho, Lisandro etc!
But Riquelme is a tricky one. apparently he's fallen out with all & sundry in Argentinian football & has been fully cast out. It seems he hasn't been forgiven for leaving the team after the 2006 world cup (something about his mother & press apparently).
I don't have a quote but Maradona basically said the reason he wasn't in the team was because he doesn't like Riquelme as a person. Which to me seems typically fanciful.
Maradona has made a complete mess of that team. What's Schiavi doing there? If he's struggling that badly for defencive cover, I'm sure Roberto Ayala would answer a call. Better calling up a 36yr old hasbeen rather than a 36yr old never was!
This rant has only just started!
