Good enough for Argentina!
Argentina coach Jose Pekerman has named West Ham's on-loan Lionel Scaloni in his World Cup squad. The right-back, who apparently wants a permanent move to West Ham, replaces the former Argentina captain, Inter Milan's Javier Zanetti.
"There is a permament evolution with footballers." said Pekerman.
Zanetti fumed, "Nobody told me what I did wrong to not be in the World Cup squad. I'm calm because I think I did my best to be on the list and I've been always available for the national team when they needed me. We'll never know if I've been excluded because of football reasons or not."
In a brief interview with reporters Scaloni said, "WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

I was slating Scaloni not that long ago, but to be fair he did OK towards the end of the season.
I'd be lying though if I thought he was the long term answer to our RB problems. Don't know much about Zanetti, but if Scaloni beat him for the spot, he must be average.
By the way well done whubris, dave and novern monkey for the seasons articles, really enjoy the read and your comments.

Yeah, he did show a lot of improvement. Interesting how he'll go in the WC. He should learn a lot at any rate.
Zanetti's good, but getting old.
ta for your comments Beggers. Ta also to everyone who contributed. What a marvellous season it's been. I was just watching some youtube movies of our season and am nearly a blubbering wreck. *sniff*

Chin up big fella.
Huge year ahead of us! Lots of expectation. And will no doubt have a lot of West Hamness (ups/downs) about it.
Hopefully we'll all be meeting up for a european game or two at the 'PIG'! Europe, how good is that!
