Roberto Ayala
Busy central defender who marshals the defence. Quick to ward off attacks and very strong in the air.

Pablo Aimar
Brilliant playmaker who can stand his own against the heavyweights in the side. If given a chance, an exciting prospect to watch out for.

Kily Gonzalez
Attacking player, Kily Gonzalez spells danger on the left flank, be it in midfield or upfront.

Diego Simeone
Inspirational midfielder, Simeone is the most capped player in the side. If fit, he will run circles around the opposition alongside Veron.

Juan Sebastian Veron
The midfield general, Veron dictates play for Argentina. Listless with Man U, the finals offer him the stage to showcase his skills.

Gabriel Batistuta
Ageing and battling injury, Batistuta still remains a danger man in the box and his finishing abilities hold the key to Argentina's campaign.

Claudio Lopez
A seasoned campaigner, Lopez is capable of scoring stunning goals. Shows flashes of genius but is inconsistent.

Hernan Crespo
Another attacking forward, Crespo harasses defences and is strong in the air. It will be a toss up between Crespo and Batistuta for the starting line-up.

Javier Saviola
Exciting new prospect, Saviola is a prolific striker. If he plays to his potential, he may just be the star in Korea, Japan.
