The Argentine National team, made up of local players only, defeated Haiti in a FIFA International friendly that was held in the city of Cutral-Co in Neuquén. The main reason behind this match was to raise funds for Haiti; however, Diego used this chance to define his world cup list.
Lineups

Argentina: Diego Pozo; Ariel Garce, Paolo Goltz, Juan Insaurralde, Cristian Villagra; Patricio Toranzo, Juan Mercier, Sebastian Blanco, Facundo Bertoglio; Martin Palermo and Ariel Ortega

Haiti: Jean Zephirin; Frantz Gilles, Bruny Richard, Jean Paulin, R. Ednerson; Vaniel Sirin, James Marcelin, Judelin Aveska, J.M Alexandre; Eliphne Cade and J.B Fritzson

The match finished 4-0 in favor of Argentina. The goals were scored by Facundo Bertoglio (2), Martin Palermo and Sebastian Blanco. Haiti did not cause any trouble to Argentina; in fact, the goalkeeper was never really tested. However, it is great to see these players perform in the football pitch after such a devastating earthquake they suffered.

Palermo was confirmed within the World Cup list, the third goalkeeper will be a tight decision between Diego Pozo (Colon) and Adrian Gabbarini (Independiente). Another player that has a very good chance of going to the world cup is Juan Mercier (Argentinos Juniors), the midfielder has seduced the coaching staff with a very good level in the Argentine league and a low profile, making him a perfect member for the group.

One more surprise that Diego could announce is the inclusion of Javier Zanetti and Ariel Ortega; both experienced players could make the list in the last minute. After calling more than 100 different players, Diego will make the 30-man list public on Monday, and we expect to see surprises, it wouldn’t be Maradona if he didn’t. The final 23-man roster is due on June 1st.
