ARGENTINA : PLAYERS TO WATCH

Carlos Tevez and Lionel Messi are two of the most exciting young talents to appear on the world scene in years. Messi made headlines for Barcelona after his runs ripped apart Chelsea in the Champions League in February. Tevez's overall imposing performance drew critical raves during the 2004 Summer Olympics. Hernan Crespo, who hasn't played up to his full potential in club competition, still can be a dangerous striker. Midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme is the playmaker who is good organizer. Defender and team captain Juan Pablo Sorin is considered to be the heart and soul of the side.
