From the lowlands I believe, all the highlanders are Macs. I had a lot of mail order customers decades back and the names stick to certain areas.

I hope Ocampos gets called up for the Argentina NT in the Olympics… it would be a huge disappointment if not.

Would Ocampos be one of the three over-age players?

Yes hopefully

Also, it will probably not happen but it would be great if at least one of: Oliver Torres, Joan Jordan or Suso to be called up as overage players - it’s not worth the risk for Navas.
While Alfonso Pastor and Oscar can be called up easily as they are within the age limit (until 24 years of age this time around due to the pandemic reschedule of 1 year). Javi Diaz is also within the age limit but I highly doubt he’s even considered.

De Jong has a knee injury that he picked up in training. His Euros are over.

Always sucks to see these kinds of injuries on the training pitch.

Ocampos not called up for the Olympics - this is Argentina’s list of 26 players (preliminary squad): https://twitter.com/Argentina/status/1405682885009477632
Spain has made a ‘secret’ preliminary list of 60 players, but not sure if any of ours is there, probably not. They will announce the final list on Tuesday 29th of June.
France has announced the final list and Kounde is not there.
The only one to make a participating NT’s final squad so far is Diego Carlos, and Arana too but he’ll leave 100% so we won’t consider him as our player anymore.

Speaking of Argentina’s Olympic NT, beside not calling Ocampos as one of the over-aged players, it’s shocking to see no one is called up from the club Defensa y Justicia. Those guys did an amazing job last season by winning the Copa Sudamericana and beating the Copa Libertadores winner Palmeiras in the Recopa Sudamericana ‘Supercup’. If not for anything, it could’ve been a nice gift to acknowledge that club’s recent success.

I could be wrong, but I was wondering if it is likely for Bryan Gil to be called up?

He should get the call, honestly. Maybe we’re a bit biased but Oscar (as regular 24 year old), Suso and Jordan (as overage players) deserve it too. Heck, maybe even the young goalie Alfoso Pastor?

Jordan should have been in the Euro 2020 squad and playing tomorrow IMO

As flattering as it is to have our guys play in the summer, id argue not playing is better for them injury and fatigue wise.

Gil and Pozo will make the squad I reckon.
