Bermejillo adds to Argentina's depth

Without an in-depth knowledge of hockey goalkeepers anywhere and everywhere (although the Internet helps finding out and digging up info!), wasn't aware of Argentina's current depth. Thought it was Espinosa who was impressing before Vivaldi came back and took over the starting spot for the London Olympics, but Federico Bermejillo, who was involved in the U21's has obviously made enough of an impression to be included in the training squad prior to that. As the picture to the far right on this link shows, he was involved in some warm-ups, including a game against GB (unless I'm mistaken and it was an England side!). Unlike the other goalkeepers Juan Vivaldi and Espinosa, who both wore an elbow pad on their right arms, obviously forgoes protection with current trends, along with a shiny helmet in a style I've not seen before (classy)!
