______________

The young D'Alessandro, only 19 years old will attract the attention of the most important clubs. The new "Maradona" has played for River Plate in the 2001/2002 season and will probably play in Europe after the end of this World Cup Edition. Playing as midfielder he's a fantasy player with a magic right foot.

Argentina is indicated as one of the favourite teams to win the World Cup in Japan and Korea. Really a complete and talented squad with a fantastic forward's line. Saviola, Crespo, Batistuta, Veron, Placente, X.Zanetti are the stars of this dream team who will try to challenge France for the World Cup Title..
