and I don't think there's anyone better than Cambiasso in Argentina's midfield. along with Mascherano they would be two pitbulls guarding Maradona's shaky defensive system.

also I wouldn't care about failing the last penalty. great players like Zico and Roberto Baggio have missed key World Cup penalty kicks; it just happens. unless Maradona sees some sort of "bad karma" around him and Zanetti, which is what I believe. if that's the case, then he didn't watch Inter Milan win every championship it played this season.

in my opinion, the 2004 Red Sox proved there's no such thing as bad karma, for those who needed it; put the best players together and play hard and give your best and you're going to win.
