Javier Pastore's match worn adiPure boots. Both boots are personalized
with "PASTORE". Following a string of good performances in his first
season at Italian Serie A level, Argentina head coach Maradona called
up Pastore for national squad duty against a Catalan representative
team for an unofficial friendly game on 22.12.2009.  Pastore made his
debut as a second half substitute scoring a goal in process. As the
game was not a FIFA recognised representative game, Pastore did not
receive a cap. He was subsequently called up by Maradona again for a
friendly game against Germany, but did not get onto the pitch. His
offical debut was against Canada on 25 May 2010. Pastore was included
by Maradona in Argentina's 23-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
On 22 June, Pastore made his World Cup debut when he came on the
pitch in the 77th minute against Greece, replacing Sergio Agüero.
Argentina won the match 2–0. On 27 June, he was again substituted on
against Mexico in the 87th minute.
