You know that baby wanted a photo with Martin Palermo… but his family stopped Veron’s sleek black ride instead as it drove up to Estudiantes’ training ground last week. The baby’s got the “Papa, you lied. We were supposed to go to Boca’s training ground, dammmit!” look.
Anyway, Veron gave a pretty fascinating one-to-one interview to Argentinean newspaper, Ole. He spoke about the criticism faced by Los Albicelestes to the controversy facing Messi.
“There were things that were turned into shit. After defeating Peru, we read the newspaper aloud at the back that said Lionel Messi did not know the national anthem. Everybody laughed. We sent him a message about it. And he was the bench (during the game). What do you do? Are you going to get angry?” said Veron.
“That day of the game against Uruguay, Martin Palermo and I got up at eleven in the morning and then we took a nap for three hours. He was calm.”
“I learnt that there is no margin for error in the World Cup. You have to give your fullest and enjoy the moment. During the game, the feeling is completely different. “
Also, in the spirit of our CQC Friday Club, here’s the loco Chilean journalist at his country’s game against Ecuador last month… doing what he does best, as always. Enjoy!

So The Dona and gang have a mission to qualify for the World Cup. And obviously a place in South Africa is muy importante! As you can see, he probably cracked a ball joke in the photo above and Kind Messiah decided that it would’ve only been polite if he laughed along. The Pied Piper of Higuain, however, could not be arsed.
Meanwhile, Argentinean newspapers are alleging that he will quit (no matter the outcome) after these two upcoming games against Peru and Uruguay.
Anyway, The Dona wanted Carlos Bilardo to travel to Manchester to pressure Tevez and Zabaleta from playing against Aston Villa yesterday – which eventually happened. Zabaleta then arrived to join the Argentinean team with an injury and has resulted in The Dona having to improvise, find another player to replace Zanetti. All this has angered el tio.
“After these two games, I’ll see if I continue (with Argentina) and I will evaluate (what has happened),” he said. “At the time, Julio called me to his house and offered me the job, I said it was the happiest guy in the world. But then, there were things that I didn’t like and to continue (as coach), my conditions will have to be met,” he said.

Pay close attention to this – it’s Argentinean Football’s homage to Three Men and a Baby, except that four of their players have kids. And it seems like the Messiah is not amused!
Well, at least he doesn’t have to endure another one of these “Baby Baller Anthems” prior to kick-off. The Dona will not start him against Ecuador later today. Messiah has a yellow card to his name and Dona doesn’t want to risk losing him for the Brazil game in September. Mascherano will also not be playing as he picked up a yellow card against Colombia last weekend.
Brasil had a pretty tough time up at Quito the last time, so all the best to Argentina. The 2,800 metre altitude is not to be messed with! Well at least the fans who bought the tickets (below) can be assured of a good time.
