He represented Paraguay at U17 and U20 levels and even had a cap for the senior team back in 2009, but in a non competitive fixture , meaning that he could switch allegiance to Argentina if he so desired.

Bolivian club Ciclon use fake Roma jerseys because of kit clash in game vs Real Potosi

Bit of a funny story this one coming from Bolivia.
