Masche and Tevez have nothing to do there. Their place is in Italy or in Spain. I also don't want at all seeing them playing for MSI, Chelsea and Abramovitch.

It’s better for them and for Argentina.

Maybe Tevez has a learning disability for him not to be able to pick up languages as easily, so it must be hard for him. Sandrahn, i agree w/ u on the language thing. For anyone who has ever been uprooted and forced to live in a totally different culture, its very difficult, espcially when you're older (its much easier for children to adapt), so i can totally understand why the south americans dont do as well in germany or england.

Tevez seems to have a very very difficult time with it. He's been in Brazil quite some time and doesn't even speak one word of Portugese. Not even just a few basic words. And that's Brazil, imagine him in England! Being from an immigrant family, I know some people just have a harder time of it. Not everyone can do it well, and let's face it -- England and Germany are just not like Italy and Spain for South Americans. Look at Roberto Carlos, who just became a Spanish citizen and has decided to live there permanently. Early in his career he'd been courted by several English clubs (and Chelsea's been trying to get him recently) but he won't have any of it. He chose Inter Milan and later Real Madrid. The languages are similar and the culture is similar. I've read how Brazilian players in the German and English leagues have a really hard time, struggle thru loneliness and are constantly on the phone to Brazil. Lucio over in Germany has never been entirely happy there. That's why I'm happy for Carlitos that he's got Macherano with him. It helps a lot. The poor guy would feel completely at sea if he'd gone to England alone.

The whole language thing is very interesting. WHy are people saying that Masherano will intigrate to English society and language well? (Obviously he'll be better than Carlitos, who seems to be sort of a male banschee(sp)). WHy is it so hard for Arg guys? Even Crespo, who seems so nice and accomadating, admits that he had a hard time socially at Chelsea. What gives? Thanks Sandrahn. The whole language thing is very interesting.

This is from the UK newspaper the Guardian: The press view from South America How four members of the South American media see West Ham's new boys Wednesday September 6, 2006 Guardian Bruno Freitas UOL (Brazil): "Tévez is a match winner, but he's also a troublemaker. At Corinthians he was influential in many victories but had problems with other players, coaches and the fans. He's quick, creates a lot of chances and can score with both feet but West Ham must know that he'll probably make a lot of noise off the pitch. Mascherano is a more quiet player but seems to be smarter than Tévez and is definitely more friendly." Julio Gomes TV Band (Brazil): "Mascherano has more fame than proven ability. He's a really good destroyer but not a good passer. Tévez is one of the best young Argentinian players to come through but he's got a bad temper. He's not the type of player who will learn English and he's not even studying the language because his idea is to go to Spain." Fernando Spannaus ESPN (Argentina): "Like many South American stars, Tévez is very volatile and I doubt he'll settle in England. Mascherano is a mature player, even though he is only 22, and performs the defensive midfield position better than many experienced players." Matías Albina Fox Sports Latin America (Argentina): "Mascherano is a very fit player, he always brings the ball out of defence safely and keeps running for 90 minutes. Tévez has great natural talent, always looking for possession and it doesn't bother him if he makes mistakes. The only factor preventing this from being a successful move will be their ability to settle into English society, adapt to the weather and learn the new language."

He ALWAYS seems to be a hard worker, and he's very unselfish as a player. Maybe he's gay. A lot of guys can't deal with those kind of complexities. He was the best in the WC. He tore serbia apart.
