[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 587462, member: 48703"] Utterly ridiculous comparison. Those players you named retired all at different times, Longo in 2007 to Roncero just last October. Can you really not see the difference between losing those 8 players over a period of 5 years, compared to losing 20 odd players at one particular time and then the coaches optionally selecting kids instead of the best players? Replacements for that second list of players are Ayerza, Carizza and Leguizamon who hardly lack experience and are adequate replacement even if they are not as good. And as for the first list of players, you are seriously devaluing your argument with an average bunch of players none of which ever established themselves in the Pumas team, couldn't win European contracts for large parts of their career (allowing them to add to cap tallies in annual matches against Uruguay and Chile) and were not exactly big losses.
