Honorable Mention
Attillio Demaria (Italy), Rinaldo Martino (Italy), Alejandro Scopelli (Italy), Matias Fernandez (Chile), Roberto Acuna (Paraguay), Francisco Lojacono (Italy), Emilio Badini (Italy), Eduardo Ricagni (Italy), Bruno Pesaola (Italy), Hector Rial (Spain).
Squad Explanation
-- Gustavo Matosas(Uruguay) was born in Argentina while his father Roberto was playing there. Roberto Matosas was a Uruguayan capped by Uruguay. So I left him out of consideration.
Starting lineup
-- Angelillo, Sivori and Di Stefano could have been the starting attack for Argentina at the WC Finals in 1958.
-- Bilboa was capped over 100 times.
-- Orsi must drop back to midfield to fit all the best players on the team.
-- The defence is quiet weak. Palette got to start because he had established himself in Europe while the other defenders never played successfully at that level.
