Lionel Andrés Messi (born 24 June 1987 in Rosario) is an Argentine football (soccer) player, who currently plays as a second striker for FC Barcelona. He has shown remarkable ability for a player so young, and is often touted in the media as "the new Diego Maradona".
In June 2005 Messi starred for the Argentina U-20 team that won the Football World Youth Championship in The Netherlands, picking up the Golden Boot as top scorer with 6 goals, and the Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament. Despite his youth, Lionel was already being compared to Diego Maradona, one of the greatest football players of all time. On 2005-06-27 FC Barcelona renewed his contract until 2010, establishing a selling clause of €150 million.
An injury kept him from playing for two months at the end of the 2005/06 league, and jeopardized his presence in the 2006 World Cup. Nonetheless, Messi was selected in the Argentina squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup on May 15 2006.
Juan Román Riquelme (born June 24, 1978 in San Fernando, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) is a football player, who currently plays for Villarreal CF of Spain.
With the Argentine national football team, Romy has played 30 matches, scoring 7 goals. He also won the Southamerican Youth Championship, and the Football World Youth Championship, both in 1997 and with coach José Pekerman.
On April 2006 the English newspaper The Daily Mirror published a rumor about a possible interest of Manchester United's boss Sir Alex Ferguson in signing the Argentine international in the summer transfer window, whose club would have made an offer of £10 million, which was declined by the Villarreal.
Riquelme is not by any means a normal or a traditional player by the standards of this generation. Argentina legend Jorge Valdano describes Riquelme best by saying: “If we have to travel from point A to point B most of us would take the six-lane highway and get there as quickly as possible. Riquelme would choose the winding mountain road, the beautiful scenic route which takes him six hours instead of two.

José Néstor Pekerman (born September 3, 1949 in Villa Dominguez, Entre Ríos Province) is an Argentine football coach, who is the current coach of the Argentina national football team.
Pekerman's career as a footballer was uneventful. A midfielder, he played from 1970 to 1974 for Argentinos Juniors scoring 12 goals in 134 matches. He was transferred to Independiente Medellín were scored 15 goals in 101 matches.
In 1994, amid some puzzlement, he was selected by the Argentine Football Association to coach the Argentine national teams at junior level. There was some surprise at this appointment as his résumé did not include any major achievements. He teamed up with Hugo Tocalli and coach Eduardo Urtasun.
Juan Pablo Sorín (born May 5, 1976 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentinian football player who, as of 2006, is playing for Villarreal in the Spanish La Liga.
Sorín played for Argentina at the 2002 World Cup and has compiled over 70 caps for his country. He is also currently the captain of the Argentinian national team.
He has an eccentric style of play and, despite being played in defensive roles, is often found up front attacking, using his heading skill to great effect.
Carlos Alberto Tévez (born February 5, 1984 in Ciudadela, Buenos Aires Province) is an Argentine football striker who made his name with Argentine giant Boca Juniors and currently plays for Brazil's Corinthians. He is currently regarded as one of the most promising prospects in the world.
He joined Boca at the age of thirteen and played his first professional match with Boca on October 21, 2001 against Talleres de Córdoba. He played for the team until the end of 2004. With Boca Juniors he won an Argentine Championship (2003), a Copa Libertadores (2003), an Intercontinental Cup (2003), and a Copa Sudamericana (2004).
