Did you have a look at February issue of World Soccer? There is a brilliant compilation of the 100 best young footballers in the world. That is, players born in or after 1978. There are only 5 Argies in the list. They are, yes you guessed it, Aimar, Saviola, Samuel, Riquelme & Romagnioli.
Players from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, & especially France dominate the list.

Any news on how Montenegro has been doing? And what's up with Scaloni, Castroman?
 
And Cambiasso, Allesandro, Recardo veron, and Czar come on..its your pitch here ..;)
 
I am not going to list the other Argentinean talents that I think should be on the list, but one thing I will say is that players from Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroun DO NOT domiante the list. In fact the highest amount of players per Country is as follows:

1. France: 6 players.
2. Argentina: 5 players
3. Brazil: 5 players
4. Ghana: 4 players
5. Nigeria: 4 players
5 Cameroun: 3 players
 
In a way it is fair because as a publication world soccer is trying to be as balanced as possible by not focusing just on several countries, but rather trying to select players from a wide variety of countries.
 
is claudio pizarro on it?
