Doing this post almost killed me. If I missed any players, I'm sorry. I only chose a few from each of the 'bigger' clubs. I saw some other really hot ones but there weren't enough pics, so I couldn't post them. Here is the list. The hotness is under the cut. Btw, there are a few players who are not Argentine by birth in here.

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY ABOUT THESE ARGIES?



THIS IS THE ONLY ARGIE PIC I'M POSTING HERE! THE REST ARE FROM THE BUNDESLIGA, THE EPL, SEVILLA'S NEW TOURNAMENT, PORTUGAL AND A NEW FEATURE: "TWINK OF THE WEEK"

( LOOK BELOW THE CUT )

Fernando Gago has that ability to make you want to grab him, hold him in your arms and squish him. His moves on the pitch are incredible, and if you look carefully at each and every picture of him in action, he looks fantastic in stop motion, no matter what he is doing. His allure is fascinating. And he is only 22!!!! So feast your eyes. These pics are really good.

A teaser:

I wanted a photo of his shot on goal, and here it is. Look at the way he holds his arms, his hands. And the positions of his feet. He is always so poised. It's almost as if he dances out there.

Ever Banega was not used very much. He plays somewhat the same position as Fernando Gago, except that their styles are very different. And since Gago is one of those players who never seems to get injured (oh my, I hope I haven't jinxed him), Ever doesn't get much of a chance to play. He did come on in the waning moments of the game to replace one of the strikers, in order to shore up the midfield. It wasn't enough time to prove himself, although he did get a couple of touches. However, his celebrations are joyful and exuberant, and worthy of a picspam.

First, here is Ever on the pitch, trying to control possession.

Ezequiel Garay caught my eye during the Olympics. I was aware of him before, because he was out on loan from Real Madrid to Racing Santander, another Spanish club. I watch the Spanish primera Liga every week, and I've seen him a lot, but I've never seen him stand out like he did at these Olympics. He and the other defenders did an awesome job yesterday.

EZEQUIEL GARAY

I plan to do a small series of picspams in order to share the most beautiful quality photos I've found of the Argentine National Team, in their successful pursuit of the Olympic Gold Medal.

First, I want to start with those players I consider 'unsung' - the subs, or the players who were not the original choices for the positions. For instance, Jose Sosa, a talented young midfielder with Bayern Munich, who came on once or twice during the tournament. Yesterday he replaced Angel Di Maria, who had to come off because of heat exhaustion.

ISN'T HE GORGEOUS? There are more pics below the cut.



( JOSE SOSA - HE WEARS NO. 7 )

YES! YES! YES!



( MORE PICS BELOW THE CUT )

This picspam consists of all the nice clean pics I found when I looked again, in case anyone wants to make icons. It's also not all Gago. (Not that that's a bad thing!) Here's a teaser and the rest are below the cut!



There are some of him, though! And they're nice and hi-res like this one!



( NICE HI-RES PICS OF THE ARGENTINA-BRAZIL GAME TODAY )

With poor Osky being out of the tournament with a torn ligament, Batista has had to call up another GK for Argentina. His name is Nicolas Navarro, and he is the GK for Napoli. His prior club in Argentina was Argentinos Jrs. At least he knows Ezequiel Lavezzi, also with Napoli. So I thought I would post a few pics of Nicolas so we can see what he looks like.

EDIT: Of course, I should have mentioned that the #1 goalkeeper for the semi-final is Sergio Romero of AZ Alkmaar. Unless something happens to him, Sergio should finish out the tournament. *anxiously bites nails*
