For Argentina, Size Really Does Matter

January 5th, 2006 | by: WC Bob | Comments Off

The President of Argentina’s Football Association is now on record as being against those who are, shall we say, vertically challenged.

Commenting on the potential of having four diminutive players – Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Javier Saviola and Sergio Aguero – on his national side’s roster, Julio Grondona told the Ole newspaper:

“Those who would like to see these four play together can rent the film ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ rather than watch the World Cup.”

At World Cup Blog we happen to own a copy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and we can confidently tell you that none of those players actually appear in the film. We also can say that there is no truth to the rumor that Sneezy will be wearing Argentine blue and white any time soon.
