Forwards: Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Rodrigo Palacio (Inter Milan), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint-Germain).

MY VIEW ON THE SQUAD

Argentina have a world class midfield and attack. However they are slighty lacking in real top class central defenders. They do have competent players there and as long as Demichelis is left on the bench they may go deep on this World Cup. They have world class players in midfield with Mascherano a superb anchor and Angel Maria a class act either on the wing or attacking. Upfront they have Messi behind Aguero and Higuain with Lavazzi an impact sub. An attacking four that anyone would dream of. A big plus for Argentina too is they will be based in the relatively cool South of Brazil and will be playing games near their own border.  Argentina have the ability to get to the last four at least here and their fans will expect it.
